I must say, I love all of yall. Being a disabled vet and having some shit days always gets exponentially better watching your videos! The hilarity that ensues is just amazing, lmao. Thanks for all of the hard work you all put in-your expertise as well. Let them titties, titty. 💯

wow thanks bro! really appreciate the support!

[@jakester455]

It's HILARIOUS that you guys panned the scene where he falls and fingertip arrests his fall in the ventilation shaft. This was actually done by a stuntman, he did accidentally fall and he did catch the next ledge with his fingertips. They originally thought it was a wasted take but it looked so good they kept it.

[@philipabelanet5476]

The stuntman absolutely did not catch the next ledge. That is impossible.

[@kenkarish826]

@@philipabelanet5476 Actually he did catch the next ledge and no its not impossible.

[@philipabelanet5476]

I'm not going to waste any more time on this. It is an unequivocal fact that the stuntman, or any human being, could not have done what you described. But if you people want to believe impossible things, you go right ahead. But if you want to convince people, cite your source.

[@alericc1889]

@@philipabelanet5476 The Stunt man was Keii Johnston, go look up his career, he talks about his fall down the shaft.

[@eclipsewrecker]

You truly missed the story. The stuntman fell. True. He did not save himself by grabbing the ledge with his fingertips. Those are two different shots. His body bounces off off the side and he is pushed away. You’re adding to the story or believing a Hollywood lie. That’s the business they’re in.

[@timmuetzel2675]

Okay, I laughed my ass off watching this reaction. "It's a GLASS DOOR!" "This dickhead calls up the Batmobile and drives it all across town and then finds the only guard rail in a GLASS BUILDING". I can't stop laughing. Love it. Thanks for the reaction.

The SWAT member who pricks his hand on the rose thorn is actually Richard Pryor. One of the best and most unexpected cameos in any movie.

[@johncannon3593]

Ha! Never noticed that in all the times watched.

[@gameocalypse6040]

It's definitely an underrated Christmas movie - Die Hard 2 as well! I also forgot the first Lethal Weapon is a Christmas movie as well.

[@BoraHorzaGobuchul]

Dude how is it underrated? Everybody knows it is one, and they like show it on TV every Christmas even here in Mordor where I live. I kid you not, this and the second one are regularly run on Christmas/new year's eve here.

[@Juggtacula]

Sam Jackson was in the 3rd Die Hard movie. And the villain was the older brother of the villain from the first movie. Also it was Samuel Irons, so he's the voice of Scar from Lion King.

[@snowbear163]

It's Jeremy Irons and he's an icon. Man in the Iron Mask, Hook, Kingdom of Heaven, and a lot of theatre performances.

[@Curraghmore]

On the subject that the bad guys should have had smaller AT4 rockets, bear in mind that this was 1988. I think the AT4 system was only barely out of development at the time.

[@Papa-Giorgio-Ni]

Die Hard is to me as an adult what Home Alone was to me as a child.

[@andybarth5928]

you two guys are great - Merry Christmas from Germany - and yes of course - its Die Hard 3 with Samuel....

[@alancranford3398]

I saw this when it was in its first run in theaters. At the time I had serious issues with "willing suspension of disbelief." My background was Marine Corps and military communications. I had limited experience with explosives and was the M60 gunner in my platoon. Urban combat was making a comeback in military training. It was almost as if the film makers had never worked in a tall building. The movie LAPD and FBI made the Keystone Kops look like skilled professionals. All of that real-world experience kept taking me out of the moment. Especially the radio work. They ain't telephones--can't receive while transmitting, different frequencies, different frequency bands, different modulation--John McClain wouldn't have been able to talk to anybody. Plus--all that steel would have fouled up radio work among the "terrorists" when they became separated by several floors, depending on power output (four watts max) and frequencies. Then there's radio battery power--depending on which power pack is used, there'd be between 90 minutes and 12 hours of receive time, with transmit time reducing that considerably. Yes, some radio batteries are only good for a couple of hours because of either bad design or poor battery maintenance. Tactics? I'd better not go there. Police and terrorists both had some serious shortcomings.

[@sethrichardson8344]

Alan it's hollywierd dramatizes the movies to get audience attention, also it was the 80's the decade that created the standard for action films.

[@snowbear163]

Large buildings have repeaters that transmit radio signal throughout the structure. This building (the Fox building in Century City) is no different. As for tactics, Die Hard is a timeless classic. The people that put it into production received awards, career success, and lots of money. People who work tactics for the police department don't get anything except for a bi-weekly paycheck and maybe a pension if they stick it out for 22 years. Movies are for entertainment. Die Hard isn't a documentary or an instructional video on how to take over a tall building. Compare a film like Die Hard to a KZbinr who does room-clearing videos. The latter needs Patreon to pay for groceries.

The exact term for a 'wife beater ' is an A frame or Tank. Wife beater came from people watching the show 'COPS' and in the beginning episodes it seemed like everyone who wore one was getting arrested for beating his wife!

BEST MOVIE EVER, THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS❤❤

[@JinKee]

19:05 On February 12, 1941, a 43-year old policeman, Albert Alexander, became the first recipient of the Oxford penicillin. He had scratched the side of his mouth while pruning roses, and had developed a life-threatening infection with huge abscesses affecting his eyes, face, and lungs. Dr Alexander Flemming noticed that the patient was getting better, but then they ran out of Penicillin and Alexander unfortunately died of sepsis. So Flemming went to America and asked little known chemical company Pfizer to make as much penicillin as possible, just in time for WW2. The rest is history.

I always thought that the point of the SWAT sticking his hand with a thorn is a 'dig', saying that the SWAT team didn't know anything and was incompetent.

[@napalmstickylikeglue]

I always thought it was comic relief, as well as a way to make it more realistic. You don't think about little things like that happening In a movie but they sure do in real life.

[@petercofrancesco9812]

The main theme of the movie individual vs the large organizations. John is the lone cowboy of westerns movies and the LA police, swat, FBI, and media are the incompetent organizations that get everything wrong.

[@AFatGuyILittleCoat]

Good episode haha. The part that makes me cringe the most is the FBI hero thinking his gunship will save the hostages. It isn't a Merry Christmas until Hans Gruber falls off the Nakatomi Plaza

The second part of “Die Hard” features, Hans Gruber’s brother back for vengeance against Bruce Willis. A.k.a. John McClane. This is the movie with Samuel L Jackson.

8:08 you're thinking about die hard 3 that's where Bruce Willis's character John McClane is back in New York because die hard One supposed to take place in LA die hard 2 is supposed to take place in Washington DC both of them are Christmas movies because both of them take place on Christmas or at least Christmas time and then in die hard 3 when he goes back to New York like I said and he meets Samuel l Jackson's character Zeus in Harlem

[@crsmyth4428]

Youre thinking of Die Hard: With a Vengeance but to be fair the villain character in that one is the brother of the villain character in this original Die Hard. So... I dunno, I suppose that helps explain the confusion. Maybe.

I don't think it makes sense to criticize the room clearing technique in this movie. Nobody said (?) the bad guys are ex-special forces or something. They are just bad guys with guns and nice hair. They are not supposed to know. It makes sense to criticize 12 Strong for the lack of tactical precision, those guys should know. Not these ones in Die Hard.
