Roddy McDowell The Empire Strikes Back & Return of the Jedi Raiders of the Lost Ark Pierce Brosnan Bruce Willis - trivia: He also had a single-episode role in "Miami Vice" where he played a mob boss who abused his wife, who (spoiler for a 30-year old TV show) ends up shooting him dead (SFX trivia for "Die Hard": When they were filming the massive explosion caused by McClane dropping all the C4 down the elevator shaft, the crew attached all the high-powered camera flashes they could get their hands on to the outside of the "Nakatomi" building to provide the blinding flash of light; the explosion itself was then added in post-production as a visual effect) Alan Rickman - trivia: Despite obviously not being a young man, "Die Hard" was Rickman's first real movie role, and holy shit, did he rocket right to the top of Hollywood in basically a single leap...! That's gotta be "Sleeping with The Enemy" and... another one 😝 Fantastic Four - to me Alba will always be Max Guevara from "Dark Angel" though Elektra Natchios Catwoman Captain America (Steve Rogers), Black Widow (Natasha Romanoff), Thor (the only one whose superhero name is also his actual name), Hawkeye (Clint Barton), The Hulk (Bruce Banner) and Iron Man (Tony Stark) - fun fact: Chris Evans is hiding his face in the shawarma scene because it was filmed as a pick-up after he had grown a beard for his next role

It's incredible how creative the special effects teams were back in the days!

3:20 Please site your source related to Moonlighting's detective agency headquarters being at the Century Plaza Towers.

Office scenes were filmed on sound stages at Fox Studios and the demolished ABC Entertainment Center (where the CAA bldg is now). I actually think the Century Plaza Towers are what you can see through the office windows, so the Blue Moon Detective Agency must have been located in the adjacent "CAA bldg".
