My favourite is Die Hard With A Vengeance (Die Hard 3). You'll see why when u get there. But Bruce Willis brings all the Die Hards to life completely! You will LOVE the entire series of Die Hard movies. Top notch!

[@williambryan3346]

@6:18 I always found it strange that the guy referred to the reporter as a “pinko”, considering the fact that “pinko” refers to Communists. She’s a reporter in a free country that guarantees freedom of the press. Very odd.

[@adamyilmaz9531]

Great reaction to a great movie! Next one Die hard with a vengeance is my fave! Die hard 4 is very entertaining and awesome and unnecessarily disliked! Love your content! Keep up the cool work! 👌👍🔥🙂

[@williambryan3346]

@31:38 I suspected that something was up when the Major said they have a confirmed location on Stuart when he grabbed the paper so fast and didn’t check with Barnes to make sure.

[@Michael-id9bw]

"Vengeance," it's super fun and one of the all time great action movies. 👍💯

[@batmanvsjoker7725]

I wish Bruce Willis all the best, for the great legacy he left us. Hope you're well, Bruce.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

It's so devastating what's happening to him. Hopefully he and his family are doing alright, considering the circumstances.

The bummer was the prequel/finale to Die Hard series call McClane was canceled because of his announcement. While i was sad to hear it go, better it then Bruce Willis at least he knew when to call it quits for the sake of his health.

[@jsmithers.]

​​@@gamingwithphil227Did you really want to see someone other than Bruce Willis playing a young McClane...? Thats what that would have been. So eh no thanks either way.

[@Bat-Twenty-Two]

It's a battery commercial but I treat it as a (heavily) abridged final Die Hard with McClane, Argyle, and Theo (RIP, Clarence Gilyard). kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpSVaaKphtiIipIsi=frvcbOnWtcVK_RY-

[@jeri3808]

John's reply to the airline clerk, "just the fax ma'am.......just the fax" was homage to the 1951 TV police drama, DRAGNET. Detectives Joe Friday and Bill Gannon, when questioning a witness would say "Just the FACTS ma'am......Just the FACTS!"

[@potterj09]

Damn .. well stoked sir :)

[@ChristopherStendeck]

Holly's line "It's the 90s" and the sentiment that is echoed throughout, became something of a meme in the days before social media, and still sometimes heard today. Whenever someone is surprised by new technology, I always like to say "Hey, it's the 90s!", or even "Wake up and smell the 90s" for added comic effect. People who get the reference are dwindling in number though. 😅

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Hahhah we're definitely gonna start using it in our day to day lives!

[@InimitaPaul]

Dwindling in number! We’re not THAT old! 😂 When you get to 90 you can say that, it’s the 90’s!

[@judd73]

In 1992 my prom date asked me to the dance. "It's the 90's" is how she prefaced it. 😊

[@javix2013]

@@OfficialMediaKnights Another thing about the action movies of the 90's, I say that because they called attention to the brutal deaths, and I think that happened because of the influence of director Paul Verhoeven, he is not the director of Die Hard 2, but Robocop and Total Recall, but his influence was noticed in the early 90's in other directors of action movies, you will notice how the movies of that time were very violent too, besides Die Hard 2, like Predator 2, Robocop 2, Cliffhanger, The Rock, have explicitly violent scenes, and it was rare in big studio movies, then a few years later they were lowering the level of violence, so that the films were more suitable for all audiences, otherwise money was lost if they were banned for over 16 or 18 years.

[@joshuacampbell7493]

Now, Die Hard with a Vengeance. It's not a Christmas movie but it's still worth it to see 👌.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Haha heck yes, this one was such a fun time! Can't wait to react to the third one!

[@williambryan3346]

@@OfficialMediaKnights I’ve felt for a while now that if Die Hard is a Christmas movie, then so is Die Hard 2, and for many of the same reasons.

[@Blahde]

Yea, Sam L. Jackson on point and ^^^^^^^ bro as the bad guy. Love it!

[@erikthompson619]

"Die hard with a vengeance" is a travesty and should never have been released under the "Die hard" name in the first place. They'd be far better off moving on to "The last boyscout" from here.

[@judd73]

​​@@erikthompson619die hard 3 just doesn't seem to have the charm of the first two and takes itself more seriously as I remember it. But even that one is Miles above what came after it.... Geez it really started to drop after 3. Agreed about the last boy scout! A lot of fun and in The same Spirit as Die Hard

@jameskellis3122 His Presidential campaign was not something to write home about, since by his own admission he didn't have the fire to run much.

The Unit was awesome.

[@erikthompson619]

This part is what got him the part in "Terminator 2". James Cameron happened to be visiting the set on a certain day of shooting (!) and he only had to see that guy with that commanding presence say "A sitting duck!" to know that he had found his T1000.

Col Stuart (William Sadler) is also the Grim Reaper in Bill & Ted 2+3 and Heywood in the Shawshank Redemption - the man's got range. The airport cop that tickets John at the start, as well as Total Recall is Joey's dad in Friends.

[@perki1573]

I love that this sequel pays homage to what we all loved about the first film while raising the stakes for more thrills. Larger location, multiple threats, bigger and more gorier fights, plus new twists. So much fun and a happy ending for our hero. Christmas eve is right around the corner! Don't forget to leave some cigarettes, a lighter and some shoes in your air vent for John this year😊

[@sircdrom]

❤

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

This was fantastic! We’ve been thoroughly enjoying the series thus far. Loving John! We’re definitely leaving all of that in case he stumbles near our home and is seeking a break 😂

[@karlschmitt6359]

William Sadler(the main villain) is a great actor as well! He was in Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile!

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Yesss!!! He's such a versatile actor, and it's always surprising us when we realize how much he's actually been in!

[@ericwalker8636]

Another really good film that he's in (albeit a smaller part) is Man On A Ledge (2012). Excellent suspense movie!

[@AlastorsShadowDemon]

He was also in the very first episode of Tales from the Crypt. The Man Who Was Death. I shouldn’t have been watching that at my age, but I loved it. (After attempting to work through my fear of the crypt keeper) 😂😂😂 He was so good in that episode.

[@erikthompson619]

The scary part is what an absolute sweetheart he comes across as when he's not in his villain mode. When you see him in a more sympathetic role, like the heroine's dad in the "Blacklist" series, you wouldn't believe it's the same guy, if his face hadn't been so recognizable.

[@PurpleIris034]

Miss Bruce Willis on the screen. He has given us good performances and he has great comebacks. Use to love watching him in Moonlighting. Wish him the best. By the way the actress who plays Holly is Macauley Culkin’s real aunt.

You guys are great at reactions! You're what the Reel Rejects used to be... they've become a channel that almost makes fun of the movies they react to nowadays... there's no constructive critiquing at all its very passive aggressive! You guys review the movie for what it is and appreciate all the handwork that goes into making every scene from the camera direction, music scores, sound design and the even the subtle nuances of how the actors convey their morality and drive. It's great to see in a review these days! Great job guys!

The same version of Jingle Bells in the opening of Lethal Weapon was also featured in the DH2 trailer. The best part? Both Griggs and McClane used 92FS Beretta's

[@moneybags1482]

Col. Stuart is probably my favorite villain in the die hard series. I love how cold and calculated he was. That blank stair on his face as he crashes the plane showcases his willingness to get the mission done by any means necessary.

[@Skirtis87]

He actually looks like Hannibal Lecter. Same emotionless, unempathetic eyes.

[@protonjinx]

sacrilege! no one can dethrone Hans Gruber.

[@mst3KGf]

He's very different from Hans in that Hans was likably evil and had Alan Rickman's charisma. Bill Sadler plays Stuart as a cold-blooded zealot with little to no humor and who has a completely sociopathic indifference to human life, including those of his own men. Little to like about the guy, which is the point. I find it amusing, however, that given he's a right-wing army colonel disgraced for his illegal aid of Central American thugs and drug lords for the sake of fighting communism, he's basically Oliver North if he went terrorist.

[@revengeneutral8164]

Dennis Franz plays the Airport Police Captain. He also played NYPD Detective Andy Sipowicz in NYPD Blue. He has perhaps the greatest character arc of any television character of all time. He appeared in every episode of the shows 12 season run from 1993-2005. The only actor that came close to this was Gordon Clapp who was in 256 out of 261 episodes as Detective Greg Medavoy.

[@Dr_Kyutoko]

The Colonel saying "A flight will be landing in 58 minutes" means so much more to me now than when I watched this as a kid. The movie is based off a book called "58 Minutes" Also, this is my favorite Die Hard movie. And it IS a Christmas movie. Same as the first one.

[@joshuacampbell7493]

William Atherton (Thornburg) is also in Ghostbusters. You should watch that movie too.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Ohhh yes, we need to check that one out too! Definitely adding it to our list!

[@kenthunter6850]

He's also in Real Genius with Val Kilmer. An "excellent" B comedy from the 80's. It's a moral imperative!

[@jillfromatlanta427]

Also had a nice sized part as a good guy in the miniseries Centennial

[@igg3937]

Obviously the original Die Hard is a classic and so unique but man, I've always had such a soft spot for this film. It's generally quite an underrated sequel I think. Great pacing, great action sequences, fantastic chemistry between the actors and of course Bruce Willis just living that iconic character.

I don't have an aviation background and it's tough for me. I somehow knew even as a kid that these planes would have had an alternate airport in their flight plans. I think it was from reading the manual and messing around with MS Flight Simulator 2.

[@LIGHTNING132YTG]

Die Harder is probably one of the best sequels to a franchise. There's honestly not one bad thing I can find to say about his film. As you guys said, it took everything from part 1 and elevated that. It definitely did it's job as a sequel.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Absolutely!! We had such a fun time with this one, it really did its predecessor justice!

Except that everything to do with airplanes and ATC is idiotic BS. It is nowhere near as good as the first or third films.

[@PereiraLabs]

I’m reluctant to refer to anything as “the best” in general, as that’s such a subjective viewpoint, so I’ll simply say that I believe you’re seriously going to enjoy the third entry in the series- “Die Hard With a Vengeance”. The story is fantastic, and the cast is nothing short of legendary. I’ll spoil nothing, and leave it at that. You two are phenomenal btw. Im not one to watch reactions frequently, but the way that you two actually interpret what you’re watching, and see it well beyond face value is a very big breath of fresh air. I applaud you for that.

[@erikthompson619]

"Die hard with a vengeance" is a stupid, inflated, generic action movie that should never have been released under the "Die hard" monicker. You couldn't possibly spoil that movie, it's such a big turd that not even the great Samuel L.Jackson can save it.

[@nth_to_see_here]

Absolutely. IMO Die Hard 3 is the pinnacle of the series.

[@PereiraLabs]

@@erikthompson619 do you have some kind of personal stake in that film? You’ve jumped on more than one comment here dropping enough salt to clear snow off of an interstate highway. What’s the story? You’ve got to keep in mind, taste is a very subjective thing. Just because you don’t like something, doesn’t mean it’s bad. Just because you do like something, doesn’t mean it’s good. It’s all up to personal interpretation and connection to the subject matter. I follow TMK because I resonate with and appreciate the way they “see” the films they watch. They see things well beyond surface level. They truly seek to understand what they’re watching, and if you pay attention, you see very little (if any) negativity coming from them. Too much of that being spread around these days. It’s a much needed, and a very welcomed escape from all that. Taking a page from their book may not be the worst idea.

When John is Sending/Receiving the Fingerprints.... He replies "Just the Fax...".... This is nod to the 1960's TV Show Dragnet.... where the Detective Main Character's catch phrase when interviewing witnesses is.... "Just the Facts, Ma'am/Sir...."

[@j.j.h.atemycereal]

A few thoughts... I used to work in the mailroom at the headquarters of a major bank. We had a metal detector just like they use at airports (looking for explosives or other bad stuff people might send to banks in the mail)... during training they showed us the scene from this movie where McClean says a ceramic gun won't set off metal detectors. The instructor said the machines don't look for METAL, they show different DENSITIES, so it doesn't matter if it's steel, ceramic, or plastic, if it's dense enough to be a gun, it'll show up. Die Hard is a Christmas Movie. Die Hard 2 is not. I can't explain it. William Sadler is such a good actor. One of those guys who's been in EVERYTHING and he's always good. Great video. Thanks guys. And Merry Christmas!

While it looked cool, I always laugh at how huge the plane explodes even though they clearly said, it was empty on fuel.

Still a great movie.

13:45 You might not have gotten this, but when he says "Just the fax, ma'am", it was a reference to the 1960's tv cop show "Dragnet". The main character, Detective/Sgt.

The phrase made its way into pop culture and parody.

Die Hard 3 is well worth a watch, imo. A slightly different twist on the formula, but still worked great. Plus, any movie with Samuel L Jackson is usually a winner. lol The sequels after that went a bit downhill, imo. Die Hard 4.0 was so over-the-top in parts, it got a bit silly, but it's watchable. I can barely remember Die Hard 5 (A Good Day to Die Hard). It was weird. Very sad to see the decline of Bruce Willis' health in recent months. :( What an amazing number of great movies he's done.

William Sadler plays the main villain and is a fabulous character actor. One of my favorite performances is "Tales From the Crypt Presents: Demon Knight". You guys should check that one out, with hum, a young Jada Pinkett and Billy Zane. Great horror comedy!

[@Tigermania]

Very interesting you guys spotted that John teaming with people never works.... Looks like you need to watch Die Hard 3, which is not set at Xmas so watch it soon :)

[@chantalmassicotte3934]

My father passed away November 17th. We watched Die Hard and Die Hard 2 every Christmas....and Reindeer Games...all Christmas movies. Case closed.

[@OldMan_PJ]

The only thing I didn't like about this movie was the use of blue and red tape on the ammo cartridges, I thought it was too obvious from the get-go.

[@NathanMalnaa]

One of my favorite lines in this movie "McClean! You're just the wrong guy, at the wrong place, at the wrong time" "Story of my life" lol

[@daveking9393]

Great job! If you think that this one was a problem solving one, wait till the next one. You're going to be blown away and I'm looking forward to it. Great job guys as usual

*Artistic license, firearm operation:* If you fire blank rounds out of a fully automatic or semi-automatic weapon without a blank adaptor, you have to manually recycle each time you fire. Because without a bullet traveling down the barrel, all the gas is ejected through the muzzle, none will go through the gas tube to push the bolt back automatically. So when all the characters were rock and rolling with their submachine guns, that was pure Hollywood. If it was real, they would have had to pull back the charging handle manually each time a round was fired. (Either that, or have blank adaptors on their muzzles, but then there would be no way they could convince anybody they were firing live rounds!)

These are the movies that I think put Bruce Willis on par with all the other action stars of that era like VanDamme, Arnold, and Stallone... But the thing that sets John McClane apart is the fact that he's not some hulking figure, killer soldier, or martial arts expert. He's a just regular guy which makes him feel much more relatable and real, and the fact that he has those moments where he's thinking out loud and talking to himself just makes it better.

For most of you who have never used a fax machine, he took the fingerprints without a hard surface under the paper then faxed it to Al in L.A. At best, it would be a page with black circles on it, not clear enough to ID the guy.

[@grazynafrey7545]

When I got this movie on VHS, I watched it over and over. At first, I was disappointed McTiernan didn't return as the director here, but Renny Harlin did a great job, as well as in 'Cliffhanger'.

[@heros2110]

The actor of Col. Stuart always reminds me of one of the inmates in the, in my opinion, best movie ever made, Shawshank Redemption. When they tarred the roof and he wanted to give Andy a beer... timeless classic and indeed a beautiful movie.

[@SimoExMachina2]

This movie was directed by the Finnish native Renny Harlin. He does not get the enough credit for his talents, but he was always the to-go-to-guy when a shitty script needed to be lifted from absolute disaster to atleast somewhat succesful flick with plus signed box office.

[@wolverine669]

Bruce did so many great movies. "Last Man Standing", "Die Hard" movie series, "RED"....

[@marezesim8119]

I am glad you are liking this movie.. too many people do not like this one... I enjoy all of them especially with the way each movie increases the technology with what is current for the making of it.. love each one... looking forward to sharing ALL of the series with you

[@OpenMawProductions]

My ranking would be Die Hard With A Vengeance DIe Hard Die Hard 2 But these are still theChris-Craft of action movies. You really can't go wrong with them. It... Saddens me to know we won't get more Bruce Willis action movies ever again. He's one of my favorite actors. Some other Bruce Willis movies to check out: 16 Blocks Tears of the Sun The Fifth Element Unbreakable The Last Boyscout

[@XDarkSyntaXOriginal]

"To live and die in LA" A must see masterpiece in film.

[@justinedse8435]

Willem Dafoe was fire in that! The music too!!!

[@jeanb.5405]

"Just the Fax maam Just the Fax" LOL that is a play on a famous line from a 50's/60's TV series called Dragnet , the stoic police investigator was always saying this to women who wanted to offer way more info than he needed. Jack Webb was the actor.

[@tazjammer]

Bruce saying "Just the facts maam" was a tip for Jack Webb in Dragnet. A very good old TV show.

The scene of the fight at the airport in the snow was filmed across the street from my alternative high school in Central Washington. And yes, it was really snowing then. The day before we saw the crew set up for the night shoots. Faculty wouldn't let us go across to get a good shot of anyone famous, so we just watched from our building.

[@jeffburnham6611]

To make a point, John often seems to get no cooperation because of jurisdictional differences. In the first one he was a cp from NY in LA, and in this one it's reversed (which makes no sense for Holly to be flying in to see him in NY if he was an LAPD cop), plus you have Airport Police plus the FAA, and the military involved. John has no authority or input in the matter, so the remarks about no civilians in the tower would be realistic. Most people don't notice the blue and red tape around the magazines. Die Hard was a Christmas movie because it takes place at an office Christmas party.

[@dylanthomas9089]

Cant wait for you guys to see die hard with avengance with samuel l jackson, it's one of my favorite action movies of all time.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

We've been hearing a lot of good things about the 3rd film! Can't wait to watch it!

[@dylanthomas9089]

@@OfficialMediaKnights understanding movie writeing, without giving anything away, the story and plot is easily the BEST.👍

[@rogerb4436]

Wishing Bruce Willis all the best. Grew up with him on the screen.

[@shainewhite2781]

Darker, more violent and more crazier than the first film, and that's what makes it a lot of fun! John McTiernan, did not return to direct the sequel, as he was too busy working on THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER. Renny Harlin, Director of A Nightmare On Elm Street 4, was hired after producers were impressed by the movie. Harlin would direct another Christmas action adventure film, THE LONG KISS GOODNIGHT, starring Geena Davis and Samuel L. Jackson.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Oh no way, that's awesome!! We gotta check out The Long Kiss Goodnight at some point!

[@Dr_Kyutoko]

When/If you rewatch this, pay close attention to the color of the electrical tape on the magazines of the guns.

[@JuhoTunkelo]

So cool to see Robert Patrick just before his Terminator2 fame at 18:30 onwards, intense as ever even if for just one minute or so...
