Alan Rickman gave one of the greatest villain performances of all time. R.I.P legend. 🙏😪

Yippee Ki Yay is a song sung by Roy Rogers in his movies back in the 50's.

[@jackhaskell694]

😊 Yippee ki yo ki yay was the lyric from the song. No one today remembers the singing cowboys.

[@gasaholic47]

@@jackhaskell694 I believe the title of the song was "Happy Trails (to You).

Noice. You should take the "come to California, well get together, have a few laughs" moment 😂

[@Cloud_Strife0811]

It's "come out to the coast, we'll get together, have a few laughs".

[@YolandaAnneBrown95726]

I worked at a theater showing this back in the day. Every time this line would pop up, the audience LOL so hard!

[@mishmashmedley]

The way they go "Oh, he's smoking a cigarette!" when he has the C-4...it's like, excuse me, C$ wouldn't be bothered by a cigarette. You need a detonator with an electrical charge. otherwise, it basically inert clay.

[@AbeVicious]

That shit made me laugh. People are so clueless

[@Cloud_Strife0811]

I made the same comment before I saw this one. And the way that one lady said "C4 is dynamite".🤣🤣🤣🤣 I just can't with these people.

[@jediclonekag13]

One of the best catchphrases in cinema history

[@LordEriolTolkien]

It was Roy Rogers catch phrase a generation or two before this. It is strange Americans seem to have forgotten their own culture

[@shiftybea]

​​@@LordEriolTolkienI think the added swear makes it its own catchphrase. Also, Rogers actually said Yippee Ki Yah...

[@markrose5950]

"YIPPIE KY AYE" Is a chorus of a Song that Roy Roger's sang at the end of his tv show.

[@Cloud_Strife0811]

It's "Yippie Ki Yay"🤣🤣 he's not doing Karate.

[@MangindDerous]

1:27 Alex, my friend, you literally light C4 on fire and it won't explode, just burn. It needs a blasting cap or detonator to explode.

[@markrose5950]

Although, carrying Blasting caps and C-4 in the same bag would be ill advised

[@Cloud_Strife0811]

4:58 And C4 is dynamite🤣🤣

[@paullow3377]

Robert Picardo sang the song as "The Cowboy" in the movie Innerspace starring Dennis Quaid, Meg Ryan and Martin Short.

And here we are. Not a single person understands the reference he's making. Although you can infer. None of them do of course.

YES. That's where that line comes from.

[@OtisMcNuttIII]

You want to know what is a good read? The Book "Nothing Lasts Forever" by Roderick Thorpe from 1979. That novel was the the basis for Die Hard. The novel centered on a former Private Investigator named Joe Leland who goes to Los Angels to visit his Daughter at Christmas time. His Daughter Stephanie Gennaro is an Executive at the Klaxxon Oil Company. While attending a Christmas party they are taken hostage by Terrorists including their leader Anton Gruber. The movie was originally going to be a straight adaptation of the book, itself a sequel to 1968 movie (and novel) titled "The Detective" which starred singer Frank Sinatra as Joe Leland. Sinatra was interested in returning for the role but was deemed to old and so it was adapted into the Die Hard we know today.

[@davenoppe5405]

Yeah Simone it's a block of exploding cheese. BTW without a detonator or blasting cap C4 is safe. Even shooting it won't set it off so it's safe for McClane to smoke.

[@RetrofanFilms]

To quote Bruce Willis from his own Comedy Central Roast: “Die Hard….is NOT….A CHRISTMAS MOVIE!!”

[@Cloud_Strife0811]

4:58🤣🤣 I can't with these people. And some were like, "he's smoking around it". C4 requires a special detonator for it to explode. That's what those cylinders with the orange caps on the ends are that John pulled out of the bag. All I can do is laugh to keep from crying.

[@Fast_Eddy_Magic]

Roy Rogers' horse has a warning for you. 😂

[@jpmangen]

Dude we used to heat our C-Rations by burning C-4. It takes heat and pressure to detonate C-4. However if your heating using C-4 do not attempt to stomp it out.

[@R4GNAR0G]

WHY do I only notice NOW that the main antagonist's actor here actually ALSO played Professor Snape!? And I only noticed it from his ACCENTS!

Die Hard was Alan Rickman's Hollywood movie debut.

[@adlockhungry304]

To clarify for everyone. Yippee ki yay was an old cowboy expression of enthusiasm, kinda like “yeehaw”. It was immortalized in a western style song written by Johnny Mercer and performed by Bing Crosby called “I’m an Old Cowhand (From the Rio Grande)”. You’ve probably heard it before in film or TV, and didn’t realize it. The song is as strongly associated with cowboys and westerns as cowboy boots, broad brimmed hats, and dusty saloons. So when Hans says “Mr. Cowboy”, John MacLaine responds “Yippee ki yay, mutha fuckah!” Because that’s a direct cultural reference. Edit: important to mention that Roy Rogers also performed this song.

[@stevenkmiller]

In the 4th Die Hard movie his daughter is just as abrasive and harsh as he is.

[@LordEriolTolkien]

What's funny to me is all these people reacting to a movie that is so old they know the line from it as a meme, but entirely miss the fact he was referencing a line from Roy Rogers that was even older, and was a meme in it's own right, before the term Meme had even been coined. It was a touchstone of Americana a generation before I was born that seems strangely forgotten by the Americans themselves...

[@fizzywhizzbanger5610]

There's a reason there's an entire genre of films called "chick flicks"; women typically aren't going to choose the high-testosterone fare served up in an 80s action movie.

[@THOMMGB]

Cassie and Carly's chick flick/happy ending movie tastes are in the here and now rather than is our manly testosterone-laden non stop action movies of yesteryear.

[@erichebert5824]

American here. For anyone confused, "yippee ki-yay" was a term used by real cowboys in the American southwest in the late 19th century. All of Hollywood romanticized it during the mid-20th century when movies called "Westerns" flooded the film industry. This movie actually revived the phrase as it was dying. It was the American Western version of "Let's GO!"

[@Cloud_Strife0811]

It's also the name of one of Roy Rogers songs. That was the joke in the movie. "I've always been partial to Roy Rogers". "Yippie Ki Yay Motherfucker".

[@erichebert5824]

@@Cloud_Strife0811 The lyrics to that song came from the phrase the real cowboys used. Not the "motherfucker" part but the "yippee ki-yay" part

Multiple reactors are like "omg he's smoking around c4" lol. Iirc c4 wouldn't explode with the cigarette, as i believe it would just burn. Pretty sure it needs a det charge to make it go boom, but then again I'm not a demo expert so i may be wrong

A lot of big stars at the time I believe turned down the role of John McClane. In the end the right guy got cast and it made Bruce Willis a movie star.

[@chasetoy1087]

Yep, like Stallone, Pacino, Harrison Ford, and Mel Gibson. At this time Willis was nowhere near the household name that he is now. He'd mainly been doing comedic roles. They took a chance on him and it paid off. They even asked Sinatra to come back and play the hero because he played the lead hero in the movie version of the book that comes before the one DH is based on, but he was too old and turned it down.
