Die Hard (1988) - McClane Jumps Scene (4/5) | Movieclips 

This is a perfect example of maintaining the tempo of the movie. Die hard never gets lazy, just creative. They pretty much ticked the box on every way they could damage this building.

A nice, wholesome Christmas movie for the whole family. Lol.

"Oh God, please don't let me die!" This is the single most BADASS part of this film ! I remember watching this back in '88 realizing I was holding my breath until he untied ! All this guy had was a gun, a radio and some pants. THAT'S IT... and he's winning lol !

I freaking LOVE when they bang out to that wide shot of the building exploding where the camera is clear on the other side of town. Makes the scene seem even more real.

1:20 “I promise I will never even THINK about going up in a tall building again! Oh, god. Please don't let me die!”

R.I.P. Mr. Rickman - A legendary baddie in a legendary film. My generation shall not forget you.

This turned 30 years old today and its still just as incredible ill have to watch it today

No one does an action scene like John McTiernan. This scene is masterful.

This is the craziest scene in Die Hard 1. Completely badass!!

John’s pistol sounds more powerful then most action movies made today.

"Oh, God, please don't let me die." THAT is why Die Hard is such a good movie. I enjoyed the sequels (well, I still haven't seen the last one), but we go from a human scared shitless jumping off a roof to a guy sliding down a few hundred yards of concrete and dusting himself off like he just tripped. I will never get tired of watching this movie, and especially this scene.

0:52....one of the best delivered lines of dialogue in the entire series.

0:54 what I tell myself when I start dating someone lol

One of the most iconic action scenes on film - I remember Willis appearing on the Tonight Show before Die Hard came out when they previewed this clip, the audience went completely nuts.

1:12 Hans: "Blow the roof" Young Arnold Schqarzenegger: "But Karlz zupz zer!" Hans: "*Woof Woof Woof*"

"I`m on your side you assholes!"

This film beats the entire MCU.

One of the golden moments in cinema history.

''Oh God please dont let me die'' There was just something so geniuine about the way he said that line

Such an awesome movie. I love that when they pull back and show the explosion from a distance. Such a convincing scene where it looks so real. Classic

The editing of this movie is incredible.

Bruce Willis aka John MacLane making his iconic leap off the Nagatoni Building. That leap with explosions going off behind him never gets tired or epic.

Bruce Willis made the McClane character...he legitimately acted terrified as he had to be...but like Rambo said "When you're pushed, killings as easy as breathing."

There are so many great scenes in this movie but I love this one the most. When McClane uses his 92 to blast the window... it's just the most classic action movie thing there is.

IN THE ERA , THAT WAS ONE OF THE MOST SPECTACULAR SCENES IN ACTION THEATHER .

The guns in this movie give the most amazingly satisfying and beautiful gunshots I have ever heard

Die Hard has got to be one of the text book definitions of BADASS!!!

Truly memorable and unforgettable. An iconic, legendary, standout, and amazing film especially with this scene where he gets back up, says what he has to say if all goes wrong, and goes back into action saving the day once again, once they think he's all done as well as down. A film filled with so many iconic sayings like "Yippee ki yay", references about other films, actors, and much more to even mention as well as say about this film. Like its not one of those Christmas movies about joy or happiness but a Christmas film, that is filled with action which is what makes it so unique. Its a film about emotion, being a hero, fighting, against all odds and etc. Like every single part of it was amazing, the story, the characters, the music, the action throughout the film; where no matter what, you were always on the edge of your seat as if you were the character, constantly experiencing his emotion, what was occurring, his humor, the action, it was like a roller coaster of emotions that is honestly better explained if you felt it as well as watched it since you were constantly cheering him on as well as worrying what was going to happen next, and him coming out as a hero, his legacy, alongside saving the day. Like every year, I always watch a Christmas movie with my twin brother, since he always recommends new Christmas films to watch together on Christmas and when he mentioned this, which is a film we've never watched before only until now, it really goes to show how amazing it was & probably his best pick & by far one if not, the greatest action film of all time as well as Christmas film of all time due to its uniqueness. Like I honestly can't believe how this film came out in 1988, and how advanced it was for its time, especially with how great it must've been in that era. It's honestly hard to find anything unique to this type of film like what a time it must've been in that era to be alive. Such an excellent cast, especially Willis who honestly never fails when it comes to these types of films especially when it was in his prime. Sad to see the condition he is in now, wishing him all the best as well as hearing about Gilyard passing away a couple of months back which honestly makes you look back to the film and see how amazing he was. Same with Willis when he was in his prime. Like the amount of people that still watch this film and mention about it, really goes to show how much of a legacy it has, and how its by far the greatest action movie of all time. Truly unforgettable, especially every scene which was just so iconic, amazing and so much to say about this film. Like its a neverending page of words. Like if you're picking out a perfect action film to watch that will always make you on the edge of your seat filled with emotion and always focused this is your film to watch. 5 stars.

The gold standard of action cinema !! Nothing comes close to how amazing die hard is.

One of my favorite Christmas movies of all time

this scene right here… is seriously one of the greatest, if not THE greatest action scene of all time.

"I'm on your side you assholes."

When John jumps of the Roof at 01:36 this gives me always goosebumps. I Love this Movie so much! Bruce Willis and Alan Rickman are so Perfect in this Movie.

I was fortunate ebnough to see this film in the theaters back in '88... and holy christ were the people in the audience chanting and raving, "oooh"ing and "aaaah"ing (from start to finish). I'd never experienced anything like that before (or after). The quintessential example of movie magic and suspending disbelief. EASILY one of the best moviegoing experiences I'd ever had (right behind The Empire Strikes Back).

I dare say it's the best action film ever made.

Came here to see the jump again since Kong does the same exact jump, in the same exact pose, in Godzilla vs. Kong 😬

Thank You Bruce Willis for all the ride.

Its been 30 God damn years. I have now given up entirely on seeing any action film that comes close to matching this masterpiece. Die Hard - pure golden classic.

I honestly think Die Hard is a very violent comedy. Sure, it has the facade of a thriller, but when you get right down to it, John is a straight man and the FBI and LAPD are his comic foils. You laugh just as much as you cheer during Die Hard. It's the most brilliant action satire I've ever seen.

RIP Alan Rickman

No doubt one of the best action movies in a generation (without the terrible CGI) : The reason why Die Hard films (including sequels : even the woefully bad fifth) work is they're unpredictable in their own way. Apart from action, witty banter/humour and backstory is part and parcel of the series - previously there were other movies, in terms of storytelling, they're pretty bland and boring - a trait that Die Hard (especially the original) doesn't have. And that alone makes it memorable and it deserves to be in any top rated list of movies to watch and have in any DVD/Blu-Ray collection!.

Bravo Michael Kamen, we miss your action scores...

What a memorable scene! As they say, "Yippee ki yay" Such an iconic film! Every aspect of it was amazing, the storyline, the characters, the soundtrack, and the action were all great and literally legendary! Decided to watch it on Christmas day again, and what a film. Hard to find anything similar these days, what a time. Such an amazing cast as well, especially with Willis in his prime. So sad to see him in the condition he is now, and hearing about the passing of Gilyard, few months back. But we can all agree on this movie and their talent will always have an everlasting legacy. If you're looking for a perfect action-packed, film; This is it! Unforgettable.

Fun fact: the stuntman who did this scene, Ken Bates, went on to be a stunt coordinator and second-unit director on various action movies in later years, including a long association with Michael Bay.

Seriously, nothing compares to this movie.

he forgot to grab the specialist bonus

1:41 That shot is so epic I don't even have the words for it

Saw this in July 88. Went to the cinema with a girl I was mad about and planned to hit the back row of seats, wait 10 minutes and make a move. Mission failed!! Got so engrossed I forgot she was even there. No second date for me.

This is one of my favorite movies of all time, but I don’t like it when people use how great this movie is to belittle other movies. Let people like what they like.

No matter how many times I watch this, this movie still has me on the edge of my seat.

The first Bruce Willis action movie. And the best.

Saw this film for the first time a couple of months ago, and it is one of the best films ever.

My favourite christmas movie of all time. 🎄

It would of sucked if McClane Dropped his Gun While shooting the glass. Then he couldn't of saved Holly. And Hans would of been $640 Million dollars richer and killed McClane. But still an AWESOME scene.

One of the Finest Movie of all time!!! The Masterpiece expressions of Alan Rickman and the sexiest Attitude of Bruce Willis makes this Movie a Gold❤️ Hollywood is so better back in 80's

Was funny when Jake tried doing this on brooklyn ninenine 😂

The way John McClane jump out of the building with a cool explosion was awesome.

mcclane picks the craziest time to go bungee-jumping!

ONE OF THE GREATEST CLIMAX OF ALL TIMES

Saw it several times in the summer of 1988 including at least once with my mother and my older brother. Everyone loved Die Hard back in the day.

1:37 warzone operator intro

This still works in a way that puts you there imagining going through it. There are a lot of action scenes that don't work this well.

Hey it’s the guy from war zone!!

I came here after Roger Ebert's reference for Kong Vs Godzilla review. Scene to scene recreation. Kewl! 😬

Dwayne T. Robinson: We're gonna need some more FBI guys, I guess.

THE action wouldn't let you breathe!!! Best action film ever!!

This was the moment for me that this was one of the greatest action movies of all time, and why Hans Gruber is one of the best villains of all time. Such an fun but intense movie, Hans was no joke about killing these innocent people.

One of the best scenes in cinema ever!

lol at 25 you can see Bruce is wearing fake feet shoes.

Best explosion scene of all time

Die Hard re-defined the action movie genre eversince and also sky-rocketed Bruce Willis' career as an action movie star!

Legit one of the few action scenes that makes me hold my breathe every time. Perfect 👌

Action packed die hard performance from actor Bruce Willis who's also in real life father of 5 daughters (3 daughters from first marriage & 2 daughters from second marriage)!

1:37 I see Kong was inspired by this scene when it comes to jumping away from fiery explosions.

Has to be top 5 all greatest action movies ever 👍

what if that fire-rope was too short?🤔

Hans:Blow up the roof Karl is up there Hans:Blow up the roof !!!

Good thing Hollywood hasn't decided to make a diversified remake of this movie. Yet.

ABSOLUTELY EPIC!

34 years later, still awesome!

Who got this in his recommanded page after 80s herose in call of duty

Jean McLain saga he's quite the forecast firecracker for tonight's festival

For me this is one of the movies that changed action movies, when the macho hero went from a monster that could wipe out an army without getting hurt once, to a simple guy in the wrong place and time.

He went from buildings to elevators to trains. Total badass.

The SOUND effects. The gold standard

Arnold, Sly and Harrison Ford turned down the roll of John.

1:38 King Kong references that jump in GVK

I JUST LOVE THIS FILM!! EVEN AFTER ALL THESE YEARS IT CAN STILL STAND TALL AGAINST ANYTHING THAT'S GETTING MADE TODAY. The CAST Is FIRST CLASS, The ACTION SCENE'S Are BRILLIANT &a BRILLIANT Direction from John McTiernan It SHOULD Have One The Oscars For BEST FILM,BEST DIRECTOR, BEST LEADING ROLE, & BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR!!

He would have been cut to ribbons when he went through that broken window at the end of this clip! LOL.

Die Hard is one of my favorite Christmas action movies all the time and way better than all of those CGi movies

I love that look at the end. like "that was just the wheel to the fire hose wasn't it?"

0:38 Karl still hanging on the ceiling. Lol

0:24 Godzilla when the army start shooting at him for no reason.

Hands down, classic🔥🔥🔥

I like how the FBI agents are secondary villains lol

got recommended after cod release his skin 😂

Luv this part of the film music and everything was epic

Kong imitating this jump in Goji vs Kong was amazing

This single scene exemplifies why I love this move: 3 different character story-lines all interceding right here: McClane has just beaten Karl and must now rush to the roof to rescue his wife (and the other hostages) and then scare them downstairs because he knows the roof could blow at any moment Hans (who has just given us exposition as to why he needs to blow up the roof: to fake his death and disappear onto a beach and be earning 20%) realizes that now that the hostages are coming down, he has no choice but to blow the roof, now improvising a key point in his grand plan. And then of course you have those FBI guys who aim to get the hostages and kill any terrorists in sight. They see John firing at them and respond in kind, now p*ssed that their plan has gone sideways and try to kill him. And then BOOM! The only thing I could never figure out was what was Karl doing up there same time as the hostages since HE KNEW HANS' PLAN. Anyway, it's just a damn shame they don't make movies like this any more.

Dude that bloody footed bullet swinging is like... a song title... 🎵 oh he was a blood footed bullet swingin from here to LA ♧◇♡♤ 🎶
