I love and so respect how far they went to make these action scenes as real and authentic as possible! They just dont do that anymore. Movies lately lack that suspense you achieve from practical effects
This is real action movie making with real stunts using real people and real cars and explosives. Before cgi began cutting corners and turning good movies into action cartoons.
Wicked film, I love seeing behind the scenes stuff. I didn't know how serious the train stunt was, , life or death, bloody hell. I love the Commando music haha =P
literally astonishing not only what was planned but what they were allowed to do in a city of that size, still amazes me every time I watch it, such an impressive film.
1:50 You could tell it was a pre-9/11 era when the City of New York would green light a film crew to blow up a block of Manhattan rather than on a set.
At around the 4:00 minute mark the theme from Speed starts playing during the talk of the train jumping off the track and them making it go faster a lot like what happened to the train in Speed
"Everyone wants to do bigger, better, and scarier stunts." Cut to: DH1 -- Willis breaks a window with a chair. DH2 -- Willis smacks a guy with a golf club. DH3 Willis jumps in a puddle. Was that really the best clip for "bigger, better, and scarier"?
Well I wouldn't care about a window breaking because who gives a shit about glass. But I wouldn't want to get hit by a golf club. And I REALLY don't won't to get my outfit dirty by jumping in a puddle.
People going on about "real stunts" and "no CGI" don't watch enough behind-the-scenes clips. Real stunt work still gets done. There was still some CGI used in this. Entertainment Weekly even highlighted it in an issue that summer, showing how it was used to make the cars in a chase look like they were closer to each other, or the shot when the taxi almost hit Willis.
Like I said in the first clip/part of (1/2). What a perspective & making of this masterpiece film. A film, that in my honest opinion comes very close to the first film in being the greatest with the first film being first. A legendary cast, storyline, soundtracks, comedy, lots of action, intensity and emotion. Humorous as well. So much to say about this film. Like its a never ending page of words. Bruce Willis as John McClane truly never fails, and adding Samuel really makes it even more dynamic & iconic with there duo/partnership, like who knew it would be perfect chemistry, literally a masterpiece, like who knew they would work so well together. Like I said earlier, sad that they don't make movies like these anymore, truly way ahead of its time, and a great throwback to the original & first film. 4.30.23 (A movie I got myself, for my birthday on the 19th of April alongside my twin brother @E.D). and a great throwback along the many years when we all saw it. Not only that, but even bringing it back to the first its one of the greatest action movies of all time. An iconic, legendary, standout, and amazing film awhich brings it back to the first & orignal film, but not quite the greatest, it falls second in comparison. Truly unforgettable, especially every scene throughout it, which was just so iconic, amazing and so much to say about these films. Like its a never ending 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 one of the best picks/films to watch, starting from the first all the way to the fifth. Just goes to show how advanced this movie was at its time, and how even today keeps up with being the greatest action film of all time, along with the first Die Hard. One word; a masterpiece throwback to the orignal & first film. Miss the times, when the effects were much more realistic & not just done digitally. Thank you so much for uploading this as well, since you can't find this in most verisons of the film as well, like in CD format, or digitally. Only those who watched it originally, has it.
I like Bruce Willis but from what I’ve heard, he’s not an easy guy to work with anymore. I wish he’d put more effort and dedication into his characters in the action movies he does because these were the days where you could tell that he didn’t phone it in. All the Die Hard films were and still are awesome, with the exception of A Good Day to Die Hard. I really wanted to like that one, but I just couldn’t. He just wasn’t John McClane. Hopefully, when and if they make Die Hard 6 or McClane, whatever they title it, Bruce will bring back his heart and effort in McClane for one last time.
You're wasting your time on any other Die Hard other than the first film. It is a classic of the action movie genre. They got it right in that film. The rest of them are all just wanna be's
