Man, sometimes I really struggle through some of the sentences that come out of Zuff's mouth, but Bryce and Rob's reactions and responses to him make it all worth it. Rob's "You lost me in the second half" freaking killed me.

[@ghostedpt]

It’s hilarious watching their reactions even when they don’t say anything lmaoo

[@JeffKelly03]

Before I get into this reaction, and I don’t mean to piss anyone off here: the guy who wrote the screenplay, Jeb Stuart, said he wrote it as a Christmas movie. When the guy who writes the movie (and I know it’s based on a novel, but very loosely) says he meant it to be something, we should probably defer to him.

[@BunBun299]

Only higher authority we could appeal to would be the Director. As far as I know, he never made any definitive statements on the matter, so the writer would probably be the next highest authority.

[@jainthorne4136]

To me it's always obviously been a Christmas movie. Hell, it takes place at an office Christmas party! It's one of my favorite Christmas movies.

[@BunBun299]

Christmas party, Christmas decorations everywhere, Christmas carols. There's literally more Christmas in Die Hard than Miracle On 34th Street.

[@jainthorne4136]

@@BunBun299 Exactly! It even ends with a Christmas carol and the happy repair of a broken marriage. I mean if It's a Wonderful Life can be a Christmas movie when it's built on the premise of a man who gave up his dreams and then wants to commit suicide and only has a Christmas tree in the very last scene....well, Die Hard definitely has more Christmas than that.

[@candidwings5609]

This is as much a Christmas movie as It's a Wonderful Life, which arguably spends a lot less of its screen time set at Christmas. The themes of courage, family, sacrifice, hope, resilience, friendship, and reconciliation are totally Christmas. Plus the SOUNDTRACK is very Christmasy. Howard Ho did a great video on youtube about this soundtrack

[@goldenageofdinosaurs7192]

How could the movie take all that time to both show & explain the marital situation between John & Holly, including the detailed conversation with Argyle, only to have Zuff have no idea what was happening with their marriage? It’s like he completely zoned out the first 10 minutes of the film.

[@audraross3012]

​​@@BenjWarrantI think Americans of a younger age know it less - I am in my 40s and I know Old West cowboy references, but I think the whole cowboy romanticization fell out of the American ethos to a huge degree in the last 20 years. [edit to add: I am on the East Coast US. Maybe in the American south and midwest there is still more cowboy awareness]

[@_mys]

@@BenjWarrant American around the same age as the boys here- I also have no clue who Roy Rodgers is. I think rather than knowing any names or specific references, we just know random lines and scenes with no clue where they're from. I think millennials and onwards, you'll find less and less people that know anything about Western cowboy media. It's more of a "all older people know this" than an "all Americans know this."

great movie + reaction! "Yipee-Ki-Yay" was an old time cowboy yell, common in early cowboy/western films. John was being a smart-ass by using it in response to Hans' "Mr. Cowboy' reference 😃 👍

[@rsrt6910]

First off, Hans was robbing the vault of "bearer bonds" meaning that the bonds are not signed over to any particular individual or corporate entity, they literally belong to the bearer, or whoever has possession of them, like ash. The other thing is I think the plan was to blow the roof when all the hostages and helicopters were there so that there were no survivors. the police would have had to identify all the bodies to account for everyone before they realized that the "terrorists" were not among them (and since DNA identification wasn't a thing when this came out, with most of the bodies vaporized most would never be identified and the "terrorists" assumed dead). By then, they would have slipped their ambulance in among all the other emergency vehicles and drove away in all the confusion unnoticed.

[@11ibi]

[@christopherking4932]

I agree 👍

[@cattyanamontes5724]

Btw, the director secretly told them to drop Hans earlier than he was expecting- hence the realistic shock on his face as he dropped. 🤣😭

[@mariacavanaugh1010]

I like to refer to Hans' fall as "death by Rolex" since the watch was either caught on his jacket or Hans had a finger slipped under the band when he dragged Holly toward the window.😁 Also, if you didn't already know, the director "officially" instructed the fall count as three but secretly told the holder drop Alan on two; and that is how you get the amazing look of surprise when he falls! 😉

[@charlesedward5047]

I've watched the Se7en reaction, and was blown away by Zuff's understanding of the movie and in predicting certain elements...but here at the start of Die Hard, he has trouble understanding the dynamic between John and Holly, even though it was explained clearly in exposition. Kinda of an insight into Zuff's inner workings. Also, my heart breaks each time when the first thing they think of is of Snape when it comes to Alan Rickman :( 17:48 "You have to be super qualified to be a cop". My poor innocent Zuff.

[@cattyanamontes5724]

Who hasn’t seen Die Hard?! I’m shooketh.

[@bidwell13]

The first posters for this movie didn’t have Bruce Willis’s picture on it cause at the time he was known for comedy not action and they didn’t want people thinking it was a comedy (which it’s kind of an action/comedy). It’s surprising how much control Bruce had on this film. He got to choose the actress playing his wife and how John should act. The list of people that they wanted to play John McClain is interesting. They wanted John Travolta to play McClain but Fox said no cause they figured he was a “has been”. Alan Rickman almost passed this movie up. He barely got to Hollywood and wasn’t sure about his first role being a villain but it turned out to be the best idea. 13:48 when Karl hands Theo the dollar bill was improvised by the actor thinking the guys would’ve had a bet on if Hans would’ve shot the guy. 22:05 originally he was supposed to hit the first vent but the stuntman messed up and didn’t grab the first one so they kept it in and edited in John grabbing the second vent. 33:44 when Ellis says “Hans…Bubby” Alan Rickman’s expression was real cause Hart Bochner ad-limbed the line and threw Alan off a bit. It’s also thought when they give Ellis a glass of coke is because the misunderstood him when he asked for some “coke”. 36:23 at least Ellis did one smart thing before he died. He said John was his guest and not there for Holly. 39:02 the way Hans holds his cigarette is apparently how Europeans hold their cigarettes which was supposed to be how John realized who he was. 55:39 I love how they bring back the watch that Ellis gave her. The look on Alan Rickman’s face is real the director told Alan that they’d drop him on the count of three. They dropped him 40 feet onto an airbag with a blue screen backing 58:40 that’s funny you said that they have a “Die Hard” advent calendar where each day Hans gets closer to falling to his death.

[@ibjensen8626]

Alan Rickman is afraid of heights. The producers let him drop a few seconds too early to get that scared look on his face

[@kcmann4152]

Funny story about Hans falling, the director told Alan that he was going to count to 3 then drop him and he counted like 1 and dropped him, thats why his look was so real with surprise.

[@TampaCEO]

55:55 - Alan Rickman actually fell onto a "green screen" tarp in this scene. He actually did his own stunt. Director John McTiernan told Alan he was going to drop him on a count of THREE. He actually released him on a count of ONE. The surprised look on Rickman's face was authentic. He was not happy about being surprised, but the shot was worth it in the end. R.I.P. Alan Rickman.

[@paulockenden4278]

Die Hard created an entire genre that became the template for countless other imitators that followed. Bruce Willis never bettered this portrayal of John McClane in any other Die Hard films. Alan Rickman was phenomenal in the role of Hans Gruber bringing an intelligence to the role. The Christmas ingredients throughout coupled with the right balance of action, drama and comedy make this film timeless.

[@terribanks8633]

When he says "he sounds like Snape", my thought is NO. Snape sounds like Hans.

It would not have been difficult to cash in the bonds because they were *bearer* bonds. These bonds are unregistered, and therefore belong to the whoever *bears* the paper instrument. Hans would just need to present the paper to the issuer on the maturity date and get cash or have money transferred to whatever account he wanted with no questions asked because he had the bond paper in hand. They helped people invest anonymously, but they also were good ways to evade taxes or launder money, and they were convenient things to forge. I don't know if any companies still issue them, but no government entity in the U.S. issues them anymore for those very reasons.

[@auntvesuvi3872]

Thanks, Zuff! Thanks, Rob! Thanks, Bryce! 💥 John McTiernan directed this one. ෴ To clarify the conjecture Rob made; indeed "yippee ki-yay mutha fucka" originated in this movie... but "yippee" is from the 15th century. And "yippee ki-yay" is likely a derivation of "yippee yi yo ki-ay" which was a lyric in a song from the 1940s called "I'm An Old Cowhand" and was used in a movie. You can hear it sung by Roy Rogers on KZbin. That's probably where the character of 'John McClane' heard it from. He seems the sort to like flicks about the Old West.

[@shainewhite2781]

YES!! BEST CHRISTMAS ACTION MOVIE! It's based on the 1979 novel NOTHING LASTS FOREVER, which was a sequel to the 1966 novel, THE DETECTIVE, which was made into a 1968 film starring Frank Sinatra as Joe Leland.

But neither of them wants their relationship to be at an end, which is why she invited him to the Christmas party and he obviously said 'I'll be there if I can', which is why she isn't sure that he will turn up when she calls her babysitter.

[@dudieb]

An interesting bit of trivia: The actor that played Karl was Alexander Godunov a famour Russian Ballet dancer. He was the premier dancer with the Bolshoi Ballet troupe. He defected to the US in 1979 and while still dancing began working as a supporting actor. You may have seen him in the movie Witness with Harrison Ford. He died in 1995. Also the reason Alan Rickman looked so scared from his fall from the building is he was being held by a rope to fall 40 feet to a pad beneath but they tricked him and told him he would be released on the count of three but they released him on the count of one. All the actors in this were incredible. Even the small parts. It is just my opinion but the only one worth watching other than this one is #2. The others were good but not up to these standards. I think one of the reasons these held up so well was due to ensemble cast for both of these movies even though not all of the actors were known.

[@davidrichards6509]

i think you mean #3, dh with a vengence, with samuel l jackson and jeremy irons?

[@Divamarja_CA]

One other noteworthy snippet re: Godunov is that while he was in the act of defecting, his wife - another dancer with the ballet troupe - was kept in a plane on the runway in New York City (at his insistence) while she was given time to decide to defect as well. She eventually decided to go back to Russia, and they divorced.

Sooooo glad you enjoyed a classic! 1of you made a point about the later movies being like the furious movies, which is true. BUT y'all should watch Die Hard with a vengeance! Even though it's the 3rd movie it's truly a sequel to the 1st. It's a banger! 🔥

HAPPY HOLIDAYS FELLAS! Especially Zuff. I just watched yalls reactions fuh the first time yesterday. Kung Fu Hustle. I really enjoyed myself & just HADTA watch yall react to Die Hard. Bein a nurse, I mos def noted that sum medical/mental condition possibly requiring medication is up with Zuff. I AM so proud that he is participating & especially bout yalls patient accepting reactions to his idiosyncracies, erratic movements, answers to his questions, etc. Maybe due to side effects of the 'meds'. Yeah, he took a minute to try to unnerstand this one. All yall are my HEROES! 😊At first I was hesitant bout commenting, but afta reading unknowing/unaware comments bout Zuff, I feel compelled to school folks. I could be wrong but Iown think so. Suma Zuff's zoned out observations & comments are hilarious! 😆KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! MOVIES ROCK!

Bruce Willis ad libbed most of his shit talking in this movie.. 😂 he's one of my all time favorite actors. Been watching him since the early 80's in Moonlighting. Check out Blind Date to see a softer side of Bruce!
