Watching Die Hard (1988) For The First Time - Movie REACTION 

Bruce Willis was already a TV-star when “Die Hard” was made. His breakout was in the romantic-comedy-mystery series “Moonlighting” (1985-89), which I always enjoyed very much. With that as a launching pad, Willis spent years in the mid- to late-1980s trying to parlay his television success into a career in feature films. He languished for years in forgettable rom-coms in which he was repeatedly called upon to reprise his “Moonlighting” TV-persona. But then, “Die Hard” came along. That film re-launched Willis’s career and catapulted him to true superstar status. And the rest, as they say, is history.

I like how at the start of the film, Bruce rides shotgun with his driver because he's a good guy. Later in the film, the FBI guy drives up being driven by someone else because he's a prick. I love the little moves like that in this film.

I love this movie! I recently saw a documentary on how they shot this film on Netflix. Highly recommended. And Alan Rickman is definitely a fantastic bad guy. He was amazing as professor Snape in Harry potter

This movie is truly a classic. Several shows where they have bad guys have used 'Hans gruber" name so you know it's a classic

RIP and long live Alan Rickman (February 21, 1946 - January 14, 2016), aged 69 You will always be remembered as a legend.

"That's a cool looking gun, I've seen it in other movies" - It's a Steyr Aug, if you were curious.

When Officer Al leaves the mini mart, did you notice the price of gas was 78 cents? 😯🙂

I never get tired of this movie. I watch it at least once a year. The sequels have diminishing returns, with more plot holes and escalating action sequences that get to the ridiculous stage. But the second (1990) and third (1995) are definitely worth watching and if you like those you'll probably like the fourth (2007). BTW, the dramatic orchestral music is Beethoven's Ode to Joy, from his 9th symphony, one of the most over-the-top pieces of classical music ever, which is a genius idea.

Great reaction Lots of great time less phrases that's been repeated in a lot of movies and TV shows Fun fact, Alan Rickman and Bruce didn't meet until that scene,and Alan's reaction to falling off the building was genuine, they told him they were going to drop him on 3 and they dropped him on 2 Die Hard 2 is at Christmas Do you know the saying It's not Christmas until Hans falls off the building???? I know if you enjoyed this movie you'll love Lethal Weapon

It isn't Christmas in my house until Hans Gruber falls from the top of the Nakatomi building. 😎 🎄 Fun Fact: Alan Rickman nearly passed up the role of Hans Gruber, which ended up being his first film role. He had only arrived in Hollywood two days earlier and was appalled by the idea of his first role being the villain in an action film. To a degree, Rickman was right to be concerned considering his performance as Hans Gruber was so hailed that the actor had to struggle being typecast as a player of villains for much of his career.

Laurence Fishburne, Robert Duvall, Gene Hackman and Wesley Snipes were considered for Al Powell, the cop who becomes John's ally.

John McClane was the first action hero who was basically just an average Joe. He wasn't all muscled up. He got tired, got hurt and didn't just walk through like he was unstoppable.

Thanks for playing one of my top five favorite Christmas movies this week. Glad you enjoyed it.

Oh to joy theme is constantly playing throughout the movie when you're with the bad guys

seen this movie 50 time probably and it finally just right now occurred to me why he would know how to use tools on elevators. he's an nypd they probably have to take a class in the workings of elevators or some shit

You may have noticed, but since you were talking about the music... listen for the sleigh bells in the soundtrack :)

One of the best action films ever made.

The film was nominated for: Best Sound Editing Best Sound Mixing Best Film Editing Best Visual Effects, but all those went to Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

DUDE, best Christmas movie ever made!! Several actors were considered for John McLane, before Bruce Willis was cast: Sylvester Stallone Harrison Ford Don Johnson Mel Gibson Charles Bronson Richard Dean Anderson Burt Reynolds Michael Madsen Al Pacino Robert DeNiro Tom Berenger Richard Gere Patrick Swayze Paul Newman Clint Eastwood Arnold Schwarzenegger James Caan Jeff Bridges Nick Nolte And Kurt Russell.

So glad you liked the movie. Honestly you could skip to the third one, Die Hard With a Vengeance, and then stop there. They're all good but 1 and 3 are the best.

Everybody's favourite Christmas movie! Also, I see you haven't seen the Harry Potter movies. You should react to those. They're a lot of fun.

Awesome bro. Welcome back.

9:24 Yep, knocked out ... for the rest of his life.

This is a Limo driver not a Uber driver. More personal airport pickup and more reliable.

Alan Rickman as Hans Gruber

A naive RU-vid viewer is about to enter the Die Hard Zone. Here's a song that (sorta) describes "John McClane's" journey: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wYHleFFhlFk.html Get into Argyle's limousine for a ride to the Nakatomi Plaza building and the Christmas party from Hell. Let's bake a "Christmas Cake." Take one "TV guy," add a stage actor, fold in an Action Adventure script worthy of the time, bake in an improvised over heated by flaming C4, then garnish with 9mm bullets. "Detective John McClane" is an icon because: He isn't a "Rambo clone," takes damage, has moments of fear/humor/introspection, has a working class background, and is "half dead on his feet" in the last quarter of the movie. So, "Christmas doesn't begin until 'Hans Gruber' falls off the Nakatomi Plaza building.;)

Hey man! Greetings from Finland! You should definitely check out Die hard 2 witch is also Christmas movie if you ask me it's also directed by Renny Harlin and he's from Finland 2 😎

I'd recommend Hitman's bodyguard if you haven't seen that already, Samuel L. Jackson and Ryan Reynolds play off each other great, it's basically Nick Fury being Deadpool and Deadpool being a badass loser, along with Yondu making a guest appearance.

Great reaction! I am kind of sad you didn't weigh in on the great debate. Is it a Christmas movie or a movie on Christmas? ;)

Have you ever seen the Harry Potter movies? Gruber's actor is Alan Rickman aka Professor Severus Snape

Please add the Lethal Weapon movies!

Is Die Hard a Christmas movie? Why or why not?

🤙

Woww, I Likes

14:45 - I think you meant to say "cavalry". "Calvary" is the hilltop where our lord and savior Jesus Christ died. 😆

29:10 Plus he's off-duty so probably won't even get paid for his efforts. 😡
