There’s more. When he fell, noticed he stayed in character and never looked down. The director said when he was falling, hanging 70 ft over an airmat, he never looked at where he was going to land.

That scene was the last scene they shot and the stunt team told Allan they would release him on 5, but the Director informed them to release him on 3 instead. The look of fear and shock on Alan's face is real. Alan was upset afterwards, but that shot is gold.

[@AlanCanon2222]

Yep, they made him do it again, so they'd have "coverage" in case the first shot failed, but the first take is the one we see. They had a motor mounted on the focus ring so they could push focus quickly enough. The completed shot shows everything they got that was in focus.

[@jaymellenen2088]

The stunt team, as you call them, doesn't drop actors as a rule. For one thing stunts are what THEY do for a living because, generally, the insurance company won't allow actors to do stunts. That's why they have stunt people. A very few actors do some of their own stunts, but they don't involve things like falling 50 stories and that wasn't even a stunt person anyway. Bottom line: the production insurance company would never have allowed Rickman to do something that. The insurance on even a stunt person to fall that distance would be astronomical simply because it cannot be done safely, even for stunt people. I can promise you, they did not drop Alan Rickman off of that building in any way shape or form. The look on his face is called acting. Do some more research on your "Fun Facts." That one is not true!

Prior to Die Hard, Bruce Willis was best-known for a TV show called Moonlighting where he played a private detective with Cybill Shephard and the same kind hard-boiled snark he displayed in the this movie. Die Hard really made his career.

Bruce Willis was also in a comedy movie that came out about a year before Die Hard , called Blind Date with Kim Basinger and Phil Hartman playing his brother . I remember seeing it in the theater .

Definitely, and I think it probably blows people's minds to learn that he's also dipped into music and has put out a few albums (it certainly blew mine). In fact, his first was recorded in 1986 and released a year before Die Hard was released.

A lot of the movie and character references they made were to old Western movies from the 50s through the 70s. Actors like John Wayne, Gary Cooper, and Roy Rogers defined the genre of the tough as nails, take-action cowboys of the late 1800s and turn of the century. A lot of kids who grew up in that time period were heavily influenced since that's the TV they had to watch growing up. So, Hans and John making references to those characters makes perfect sense given their generation. If you're ever in the mood for a throw (WAY) back movie, you could certainly get some enjoyment from watching such films as "The Sons of Katie Elder", "Chisum", "Big Jake", "High Noon", "Man of the West", or "True Grit".

[@BigTone_1701]

At the time, Bruce Willis was known for his role on Moonlighting, a light romantic comedy/private detective TV show. He came out of nowhere to be a star on TV and it was still somewhat unusual for a TV star to make the leap to leading roles in movies. He definitely wasn't thought of as an action star. Die Hard was huge that year and propelled him into leading man status.

The part that makes it a Christmas movie is the redemptive story arcs of John, Holly, Al and even Argyle. John and Holly's family is close to breaking up because of their marriage being on the rocks. Al is haunted by his mistake as a street cop and is about to welcome his first child into the world. Argyle spends nearly the whole movie showing how immature he is by calling his girlfriend, lying to her about what he does for a living and drinking the limo's mini bar. By the time the movie is over? Argyle has become a hero by building up his bravery and thwarting the bad guys' escape. Al has finally overcome his old mistake and fired his gun in protection of his new friend. And John and Holly have rekindled their love and decide to spend Christmas together with their kids. In that way, it may not be your average Christmas movie. But its themes of redemption, love, friendship, family and self-sacrifice are ALL high notes of countless Christmas classics. There's Christmas comedies, Christmas dramas and Christmas musicals. But this is the only Christmas action movie I think I know of. Have I convinced you ladies? 😊 Merry Christmas!

Most indoor gun ranges the shots (especially with handgun rounds) are barely able to be heard through a couple layers of glass. Through several floors of a building it would be virtually silent. 2. No, the mp5 doesn’t have unlimited ammo lol. In fact the magazine only holds 30 rounds, and the gun can fire them all in ~2.5 seconds. This is a common trope in movies- very rarely do we actually see them reload. But it does look cool to the average viewer.

Its not over the top like the Schwarzenegger and Stallone movies during that time (Bruce Willis was actually 7th or 8th choice) - but instead he played a normal dude whose first reaction is to call help, who has a dead bod and just happens to have to be the hero. I mean, he even tries to safe the trashy broker by claiming he doesn't know him. And the antagonist is also making smart choices (i.e. "shoot the glass"). Not to mention there are a lot of tense moments throughout the entire movie that really got you pressed into your seat rather than just big boom explosions. Also it was both Bruce Willis and Alan Rickman breakthrough movie. As well as ending the over the top heroes of the 80s by having more grounded action from there on.
