I think what separates this movie amongst other action movies is that this movie is truly an ensemble film where it's not just the main protagonist who saves everyone, but a collection of many many other people who contribute to saving others. It's not one man saves the world. It's the police chief, the detectives, endless beat cops, construction workers, and an electrician who actually helped and if it wasn't for them McClain would have failed.

[@Jesses001]

Now that you mention it, you are right. In the first movie McClain was out in front, but Al and his wife supported him throughout the situation. In the second, Airport police, the news crew, Al, and to a lesser degree this time his wife were his supports. This one it is the entirety of the NYPD, the FBI were at least a little helpful this time, Zeus, and many others.

[@marcwesterink7742]

You can fill both jugs in such a way and hold them diagonally. The water should edge on one side at the bottom and one side at the top, just let the excess water pour out That would give you 2,5 gallons and 1,5 gallons respectively. Add the 1,5 gallons to the 2,5 gallons and you have 4 gallons. I think that's the shortest route.

As a result, the FBI worked with the Federal Reserve Bank in New York and the NYPD to formulate a response in the event someone used terrorism to distract the police and rob the reserve.

Fun fact about the movie: the writer really did his homework with the Reserve heist. In fact, he did it so well that he had a little chat with the FBI.

I've actually seen this puzzle used during interviews for QA positions (it's too simple for most software engineers -- they get other challenges).

Or alternatively for the Jug Puzzle: Fill the 3g jug to the top pour entire contents into the 5g jug, refill the 3g jug and pour 2g from it to fill the 5g jug full then empty the 5g jug, pour the remaining 1g from the 3g jug into the 5g jug, refill the 3g jug again pour entire contents into the 5g jug creating exactly 4g in the 5g jug.

For me, this is the best Die Hard film other than the original. I love that it pulls a full reverse Uno on the previous films, both of which had McClane operating in unfamiliar territory, going it alone with active resistance from everybody in authority. This one, by contrast, gives him home ground advantage (the thing with the ambulances, etc.), and his boss and his colleagues all have his back, actively listening to him and taking his intel seriously. Other things I love are that three Wall Street guys (the one in the cab, the one with the snacks watching the train station cleanup with his co-workers from the office window, and the "Heavens to Betsy" guy) are all different actors, but are all cast and costumed to look identical to one another (balding, wearing the same kind of glasses, etc.), the "Pulp Fiction" reference ("smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo"), the little musical sting of "Singin' in the Rain" as McClane is surfing the dump-truck through the aqueduct. Also, the actor who plays Katya, Simon's knife-wielding psycho girlfriend, who moves with that languid, predatory gait, is the musician Sam Phillips, who wrote the music for "Gilmore Girls" and "The Marvellous Mrs Maisel".

[@cog4life]

GIRL--you have to watch FACE OFF w Nicolas Cage & John Travolta. You would LOVE it! 😊

[@itzakpoelzig330]

Oh lord, it's so stupid. But yes, Ashleigh would love it.

[@lazyperfectionist1]

23:34 "I didn't realize elephants were always ready to travel." Of course. They have a trunk with them, wherever they go.

[@dalesmith3504]

Ashleigh,you should see Samuel Jackson in the movie "1408",never has there been a better hotel manager portrayed on film before.Also stars John Cusack.

[@peggygoddard8038]

GREAT MOVIE... IFyou can still for it.... would LOVE to see Ashleigj"s reaction/ commentary on yhst one!!

[@-M0LE]

This film is flawless perfection from start to end The dialogue is 👌

[@adamsgrad93]

The first one is my favorite but I genuinely love this one as well, mostly because of Samuel L Jackson

[@IdezofOctober]

❤❤❤ I'm am so glad you finally get to watch this. I have been waiting since you watched the first two lol

At today’s prices that gold bar is worth over 1 million dollars

[@hughjorg4008]

3 gallons + 5 gallons = 8 gallons. 8/2 = 4 gallons. Fill half of bottle 1 (3/2=1.5 gallons). Fill half of bottle 2 (5/2=2.5 gallons). Pour all the water from bottle 1 into bottle 2 and you get 1.5 gallons + 2.5 gallons = 4 gallons (in bottle 2).

[@Dante94]

It has to be exact so you can't rely on filling it halfway. You fill 3 gal. Pour it into 5 gal. Fill 3 gal again fill up rest of 5 gal. That leaves 1 gal. of water left in 3 gal. bottle. Empty 5 gal. pour in leftover 1 gal. Then full 3 gal again and add it to the 1 gallon in other bottle. Voila exactly 4 gallons

[@botz77]

This is the funniest one. It was originally a script titled 'Simon Says' that had nothing to do with John McClain.

[@JeffKelly03]

Yep. It was a completely original script, not part of an existing IP. So when they were shoppig it around, it was briefly going to be a new Lethal Weapon movie (which obviously makes sense, with the wildcard white cop and the Black partner who's getting too old for this shit), before eventually becoming a Die Hard film.

[@JeshuaSquirrel]

That happens a lot in movies. Saw 2 was originally a script titled "The Desperate". When it was shopped around, James Wan figured it would be a great Saw movie so he adapted it.

[@DiRF]

Die Hard 2 *also* started out as a standalone film, but then was revised to become a Die Hard sequel. Interestingly enough, the original Die Hard actually originated as a sequel to a Frank Sinatra film called "The Detective"... they revised it to being a standalone film, but contractually had to offer the role to Sinatra, who politely declined as he was quite up in age by that point. So, yeah, the first Die Hard had its roots in being a sequel, whereas its first two sequels did not start life as sequels. The less said about the final two Die Hard sequels, the better.

[@randomjunk1977]

Die Hards 1-4 were all independent stories repurposed into a Die Hard movie.

[@ThreadBomb]

@@DiRF I heard that 4 was okay, haven't seen it.

[@eugeneoman]

Another great reaction, Ashleigh! My favorite Die Hard by far. This one holds a special place for me mainly due to the setting. As a native New Yorker, I love recognizing all of the locations. And McClane and his fellow detectives and the "ebony Samaritan" give the best New Yorker vibes and attitude.

[@Dracounguis]

This is a good Die Hard movie that I forget that they made more after this.

[@fs127]

Don't know what you're talking about, this was definitely the last one. :D

[@toxicginger9936]

14:53 Fun fact: This tense scene between the cop and Zues at the pay phone may feel familiar as it is inspiration for the scene between a cop and Frozone in The Incredibles in the Jewelry store. I love this movie! Will always be my favorite of the three.

[@AscoyneDascoyne]

I was having a pretty good day, now it's great 😆

[@lazyperfectionist1]

32:11 "How'd you just _know_ that?" This guy's a virtual _savant,_ Ashleigh. That's what they've been establishing about him ever since they brought him in.

[@StiIIGaming]

“Is the first one a Christmas movie? No it’s not” How dare you?

[@metoo7557]

Yep, it has over a dozen references to Christmas in it. it don't just happen once as passing dialogue. it's continuous.

[@leftyguitartv]

The French name on the bottom of the aspirin bottle is the same name as the name flashing on the red sign at the end (across the French-Canadian border). That is how McClain figured out where the gold had been stored and that Simon would be returning there.

[@dragonweyr44]

You know, one of those cops is Kicking Bird from Dances with Wolves

[@kcomment2930]

and Bitterbuck from The Green Mile.

[@gettygermany]

The LAST movie ACTUALLY recorded in New York with blocked roads. After that New York made it a rule to never block roads for movies anymore (if they didn't changed that meanwhile).

[@Miilien]

I know of at least one exception to that rule : when they they shut down Times Square for Vanilla Sky in 2001

[@gettygermany]

@@Miilien I do remember that, but wasn't that not cause of the movie but cause of something else, and the movie crew just used that for their shot?

[@trevorjames4619]

They shut down roads for “I am legend”

[@Miilien]

@@gettygermany as far as I'm aware, it was blocked specifically for the shooting

[@jonbolton3376]

Yaay Ash for watching, and loving this. Even though I personally prefer the original, this is in my top 30 movies too.

[@ArtByDesign80]

0:55 Ashleigh you specifically called Die Hard a Christmas movie in your reaction! Stating… 1. Happens at Christmas 2. You got your family values story You doubled down in your intro to Die Hard 2 saying “Yes, I do think Die Hard is a Christmas movie!”, while wearing a shirt that said “It’s not Christmas until you see Hans Gruber fall from Nakatomi Tower”. And NOW it is not a Christmas movie?!?!

[@greypossum1]

I'm glad someone else remembered that.

[@ElisaH_DarklyiShine]

I was gonna look this up after the video cause I was like "no, I could have sworn she said it was a Christmas" movie. No take backs Ashleigh!

[@ArtByDesign80]

@@ElisaH_DarklyiShine honestly I think she is confusing it was Lethal Weapon which she noted it was also debated if it was a Christmas movie, but she felt it was not…but funny thing is she mentioned again in that intro that Die Hard was a Christmas Movie…AND talked talked even more about why Die Hard was a Christmas Movie and Lethal Weapon was not in her outro. Lol!

[@awkwardashleigh]

ITS BEEN 4 YEARS. I CANT REMEMBER WHAT ISAID HELL.

[@zvimur]

Starts with a song "Hot Town"! Unless it's Australia, or Brazil, that's not a Christmas indication.

[@Saiman9000]

I just wanted to say thank you for the upload. I know it's your regular day to post, but it will be the highlight of my day. I'm old enough to not celebrate birthday anniversaries anymore. As this moviie is in the favorites list, I'm considering it as a present for me.

[@rafalmeidas]

Yes, Die Hard it is a Christmas movie.

[@kermitcook8498]

Hey, Ms. Ashleigh. I liked how this wasn't set during the Christmas season but still managed to reference it. There were two different endings filmed for this. I'm glad they chose this one. You've got to get one of those elephant joke books. They've been around at least 50 years. The 4 gal water bottle trick had me stumped for most of the movie. Did have two solutions before I left the theater. I thought Jerry was a great guest star. History nerds unite.

[@CallOfCutie69]

Connie Kowalski is Ashleigh’s spirit animal.

[@singleplytech]

Thanks!
