Die Hard changed action movies forever and made Bruce Willis’s John McClane into one of the most iconic characters in movie history. The film is an absolute classic, but it definitely does raise some questions. Like what's up with Hans Gruber’s cronies having such beautiful hair? Why doesn't anybody shoot each other when they have the chance? What's up with the awkward foot stuff? Why does Nakatomi Plaza host their party on Christmas Eve?
To answer all these questions and more, step inside the pitch meeting that led to Die Hard! It’s super easy, barely an inconvenience!

When you accidentally drop a “well, it’s super easy, barely an inconvenience” in a work zoom call and someone else in the meeting recognises the line 🤭
Didn’t happen
@@1882Stu Sure it did. I was on the call. It was super easy, barely an inconvenience.

Answer for any plot hole, in any movie, ever:
"Because that's what I wrote."
"Fair enough."
Okay then.
When that is said we "Need to get of my back", I mean his.
I prefer "We need it so the movie can happen"
On Xena they used "a wizard did it"
“Because that’s what I wrote” can be shortened to “Because “
“This guy’s really into communicating with dead bodies” pretty much sums up this and every other 80’s action movie I love so much.
@ Chris:
I thought "ConAir" was a NINETIES movie...? 🤔
@@joelspringman523 Eh? What’d I miss in the last year? I thought this was a Die Hard Pitch Meeting? Who said anything about ConAir?
“I love inside jokes. I’d love to be a part of one someday.”
@@Or_else_it_gets_the_hose_again
About dead bodies as messages. Remember Dave Chappell in this movie?
John Wick likes
Tbf he knows a fella that sees dead people so why not show them to others
Literally anyone watching Die Hard for the first time when he cuts his feet: “Right, he’s not wearing any shoes and I know the entire history of that”
I read this comment at the exact moment that line played
Literally.
"Just the fax, ma'am..." lol
I like how in the NES video game of Die Hard you have a separate foot health and you're fixing your feet through the whole game. Foot HP is tight
“Stretching bad boys is tight!”......omg, that’s the best!
You'd think these jokes are hard to come up with, but it's actually super easy, barely an inconvenience
Wow wow wow....
wow
I laughed for like a year.
Whoops
It’s actually not the best wtf lol
"Villains with beauuuuuuuuutiful hair" 🤣🤣🤣
Villians with beauuuuuutiful hair are tight!
facts
It must have been really hard to cast so many bad guys with beautiful hair.
@@artman2oo3 no it was super easy, barely an inconvenience.
@@dranzer5257 Oh REALLY?
"He died while testing erectile dysfunction drug." DIE HARD. 😂
That was so hillarious xD
I had a 2 second delay on that one.
😂😂😂
I was laughing so hard I had to stop the video until I finish
Yeah we get it lol
I love watching the evolution of these two characters. If you watch an early episode and then a recent one, you can see the difference in enthusiasm. Seriously awesome to see the development here.
There's more character development in this serie, than in almost all characters in movies today.
Seeing character development in series is tight!
I also think that in the current ones he goes a bit more in depth. For example, if it was done today he would likely question that Al as a desk jockey has a marked police car for driving to and from work, or that he says he hasn't been able to fire his gun in years but LAPD requires firearm qualification every 6 months.
I think the difference is just that ryan is more comfortable on camera now and his comedy/acting skills have naturally gotten better along with his charisma
The actor who plays the script writer is a more nuanced actor
"So you got a Christmas movie for me"
Liked in four seconds.
Scrolled for this.
thx.
Same
My favorite Christmas movie.
not actually a Christmas movie though
@@pentelegomenon1175 yes it is
Having a debate for 3 decades if Die Hard is a Christmas movie or not is *TIGHT.*
Ryan is just awsome , he is a nightmare for all production houses!!! 😆😆
Just like "Home Alone"
I never realised people ever considered it a Christmas Movie
@@liamwalton4183 why isn't it? It has santa hats, Christmas party, and it's awesome. Def a Christmas movie
It's not
Jake Peralta would be so furious about this video! 😂
I was looking through the comments just for this comment. Amazing
nice to see a fellow B99 fan here.
@@agentcoulson2269 you are all good people B99 is tight lol
Coo coo coo coo cool
Fremulon Not a Doctor.
Die Hard is definitely a Christmas movie!!!
-Christmas eve
-Christmas party
-Christmas tree
-Christmas rap
-Christmas presents
-and of course cocaine!!
By this logic, Harry Potter is also a Christmas movie. I mean except for the cocaine.
@@SeraphsWitness you haven't seen the Director's Cut?
@@groverjuicy I haven't, no
Hence a white Christmas.
@@SeraphsWitness Eh, maybe, but in Die Hard the whole movie is set at that time with those tones. Harry Potter only ever has a few scenes set at Christmas time. It's a bit more of a stretch than Die Hard or Gremlins.
Only just realised how the computer changes in the background depending on when the movie was made.
Now I'm going to be looking in the background for that computer every time.
@@byronkennedy7203 It'll be super easy
Even worse - I have to rewatch every episode ...
@@yoyo21926 barely an inconvenience
Considering when the movie pitch is pitched is tight. Setting the background for the appropriate era is super easy, barely an inconvenience.
“I can’t just have people taking off their shoes without some juicy back story.”
I’m dead.
That's great, now we can use your body to communicate
Quentin Tarantino would approve....or maybe not, he likes feet....so he'd probably say "screw the story!"
Dying is TIGHT
Quentin Tarantino in a nutshell, i guess
Tarantino has entered the chat.
This series is like legal crack my dude. Keep up your amazing work!
You've done crack?
Probably still do
I swear I've been watching these vids for like the past 2 days lol
Analogies comparing things to illicit street drugs is TIGHT!
@@am234523 yeah yeah yeah
"Die hard". First used in 1811 in the peninsula war. During the battle of Albuera Lieutenant-Colonel inglis was wounded by canister shot. Despite his injuries, Inglis refused to retire from the battle but remained with the regimental colours, encouraging his men with the words "Die hard 57th, die hard!" as they came under intense pressure from a French attack.The 'Die Hards' subsequently became the West Middlesex’s regimental nickname."
I really do appreciate a bit of history now and then, especially from someone who seems to have done his (her?) homework.
Yeah, I think they pretty much missed the point of the entire movie.
I thought the screen writer couldn't think of a movie name until he looked under the hood of his car and saw a Die Hard battery. That battery company should sue.
That sounds incredibly implausible - derivations from unverifiable utterances are very rare indeed, not least because the originator cited in Wikipedia from which you lifted this is an undistinguished officer carrying a workaday injury in a humdrum battle. Besides, these sentimental gleanings tend to be more frequently derived from American military folk tales, eg 54 40 or fight (yuk).
The older phrase is "old habits die hard": almost literally, it is difficult to give up an ingrained habit held for a long time. Here's a better citation.
According to Gregory Titleman's America's Popular Proverbs and Sayings, this expression has been traced back to 1450, but it does provide references to this earlier use and we were unable to find any verification online. The first known citation in the USA is in an article by Benjamin Franklin printed in London Chronicle in December 1758.
The noun die-hard, meaning a person who vigorously resists changes, is extrapolated from this proverb.
Streching Bad Boys? Pure Gold
*t i g h t*
@jemielnic not sure you know what feminist means
Was that a jab at the movies Bad Boys?
@@awfulbill9283 they were tight until they were stretched. Now they're supe easy.
@@DummyAccount yeah. But what ya gonna do?
"Died while testing erectile dysfunction drugs"
I... CAN'T... BREATH...
The doctors said it was the heart though...
@@artphone610 In the end ALL deaths can be attributed to "heart failure".
Best joke in this channel by a large margin
Can't breathe? That's what he said before he died!
Assaf Stone 😂😂😂
In reference to the "Now I have a machine gun" bit, it's one of the really odd changes they made from the book. In the book it's,"Now *we* have a machinegun" because McClaine was trying to make Hans think there was more than one guy in the building roaming around.
Interesting, but unless we see John talking this over with himself in one of his classic talks-to-himself scenes, I don't think it would be very apparent why the message would read "we" and audiences would just be confused. If we do see him explaining it to himself for the benefit of an audience, it would lose its impact when we first see the message simultaneous to Hans reading it.
When adapting any piece of work, always do what's best for the new medium.
@@FlatOnHisFace IMO it's also better for the film that the bad guys know there's only one guy. Their disbelief and irritation with McClane being a "fly in the ointment" wouldn't be as effective otherwise.
“Die Hard” died while testing errectile dysfunction medication. I just about died laughing, and stopping was super difficult, very much an inconvenience.
I just bought some Depends because I thought you said "very much an incontinence."
Fun fact:
Hans Gruber's (Alan Rickman's) look of panicked shock when he's dropped is real. They dropped him early to achieve that look.
Savage Dawg I do remember hearing that somewhere. Effective but super mean lol
Method directing.
Memorizing facts from documentaries on Netflix is TIGHT
B Grigoroff - 😂😂😂😂 👏🏼👏🏼👌🏼
❕
Half screen rants views have to come from pitch meetings (and people like me who leave autoplay on and end up on a list video), literally the only content of theirs that I'll willingly click to watch
There is other stuff on this channel?
Actually would like to know what else on screen rant he does, cause I'd watch it. The rest of their stuff is so eh.
This Ryan guy is selling himself short, he need to be producing these things for himself and not Screenshit.
Same. Everything else is an absolute waste of time
“But this guy’s really into communicating using dead bodies” is a beautifully crafted Sixth Sense/Bruce Willis crossover reference.
Well played, good sir.
Ahh, nice catch there. I didn't get that til' now. 👍👍
didn't even think of that
@@michaelmacunfiltered667: I don’t think I noticed till I’d seen this a few times myself. Ryan George (and his writing team, if he has one) truly puts some work into these.
I wished that he ended the sentence with "...using body language.".
I think they are only talking about all of the dead bodies he used in Die Hard to communicate things...Ho! Ho! Ho!
Sixth sense was dead people (ghosts) not corpses.
Anybody else LOVE when he says "I don't know!"
Making an action movie into a Christmas movie is super easy barely an inconvenience
oh really
Shane Black does it on accident sometimes...
Fitting how your profile pic is Jake peralta. The biggest die hard fan ever
This is tight
I watched all pitch meetings in 2 days after finding these videos including Ryan's other funny videos still no sign of getting bored!
Sonu Sharma binging pitch meetings is super easy barely an inconvenience
@@jessallen5438 You are Tight!
I mean right"
Sonu Sharma whoops
@@jessallen5438 whoopsy
@@Milan-db3uy i think its whoopsie, but if not whoops
"So you have a Christmas movie for me?"
"Yep..."
Debate. Settled.
It's almost like you didn't watch the rest of the video. lol
That kid that guy shot.....was Steve Urkel
After that he said did i do that
Underrated comment lol
He deserved it
You peeped that
And then Urkel’s ghost gave him a disapproving frown and said, “Look what you did.”
Every person who disliked this video grew up with parents that didn’t love them...
Brilliant pitch meeting. Please never stop making these.
"With all of the bad guys, and their guns, it must be rather easy for Hans to get the code to gain access to the vault."
"Actually, it's quite tricky; a good amount of inconvenience."
As much as I absolutely love these old pitch meetings, it’s unreal how much Ryan has improved over the past few years.
Right off the bat calling it a Christmas movie gets all my love and respect
I want that t-shirt saying ‘super easy barely an inconvenience’
Otilia Dragan Facts 💯💯💯
Otilia Dragan I’d buy that ... for more than a dollar!
Make it a Tight one
@@tobyhart8515 Undersized shirts are TIGHT!
@@Dudemon-1 yes sir they are.
Do a pitch meeting of The Mask
So much yes.
Then Son Of The Mask.
Yes please
@@giovannigiovanni.7220 that'll be tight.
I'd vote that sometime during the pitch meeting, he wears the mask. Then everything becomes super easy, barely an inconvenience.
I freaking LOVE these. I've been burning through every single one of them.
He's really into communicating with people using dead body's... I'm dead
The suspense is killing me - dead body's what?
The main plot of 'Sixth Sense' :
HJ Osment: "I see dead people! ... They don't know that they're dead!!"
B Willis: "Have you tried... *communicating* with them?"
:)
@@demizson576 THIS comment was TIGHT! :)
I lost it bad when i heard that one!!! Genius!
did he communicate using your body
You, sir, are simply brilliant! If Hollywood had any brains at all....and gathering from your screen rants, they don’t, they’d grab you up in a hot minute.
If I was told I could only watch one TH-cam channel I would choose this one. Just endless laughs. You guys do a great job with these.
Watching one TH-cam channel is super easy, barely an inconvenience
I agree. There isn't a single entertainer on this platform, that I love more than Ryan.
"It's going to be super easy. Barely an inconvenience."
I love that every time.
“Was he killed in the line of duty? No, he died while testing erectile disfunction drugs”
LOOOOOOOOL
love how you always throw in the phrase 'something something something is tight...' in every meeting
Please do a pitch meeting on Heat!!!!! I am surprised that you haven't already.
Incompetent FEDS taking over jurisdiction is my favorite trope
Even better he was a local LA token black cop so people would ignore what racist maniacs the real ones are. 😆
80s/90s rug sweeping for ya.
"I'm Agent Johnson. This is Special Agent Johnson. No relation."
"This guy is really into communicating using dead bodies"
🤣
Would you please do a pitch meeting for RoboCop? The original
Doing Robocop is tight. 😁
Doing Robocop might be tight... But shredder is most likely lmao
OMG yes this we really need!
I like when he says things are tight and then realizes how wrong it sounds.😂😂😂 Always my favorite part of these videos.
Your favorite part is TIGHT!
@@LeoTheDarkAngel 💀🤣🤣
"Stretching out bad boys is tight" is going to live rent free in my head now.
I love it that this treatment works even on movies that are genuinely good.
No one will ever be able to replace you doing pitch meetings. So brilliant.
Please do the Back to the Future movies. 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏
@Brian Cairns 😂 I'm just imagining Scriptwriter Guy's expression when he hears that.
@Brian Cairns His super hot mom is TIGHT, wait, that sound wrong! LOL
“Stretching out bad boys is tight.” Best line ever.
I love that watching all his pitches basically gives me a fair idea of each movies in minutes. and catch up on all the ones I haven't ever seen XD thank you got saving me the hours Ryan!
"Died while testing erectile dysfunction drugs"
Ryan, you have a dark, dark sense of humor.
That is by far not even close to the darkest thing he has said in any given episode.
@@SmokeymcJoint420 Not denying that. For example, "nuns are tight".
Don't forget baby junk (deadpool2)
@@arabemmy6229 Oh yeah, that one was good!
Thought he was going to say he was electrocuted by a car battery
"He killed a kid and lost his cop mojo, it was tragic tht he lost his cop mojo"
90's movies were just straight up savage😂😂😂
Except this was an eighties movie, but fair enough.
Pretty sure in the movie it was sad that he shot a kid.
it was pretty close to the 90s...I feel like all the best 80s movies were released in the second half of the 80s
@@lajeandom Your feelings are wrong.
He must have shot a white kid. Pretty sure that during that time in LA if he shot a black kid he would have probably been promoted.
You really should do the rest of the series!! Love the videos!!!
This guy is the best! Every one of these has me in tears. Like Ryan do you actually like ANY movies LOL.
I saw Die Hard rereleased in cinema on Christmas Eve 2018 with my brother and our buddy. Worth every penny.
Would love to see all of the Die Hard movies done. Love your videos. Awesome content.
Recently saw Die Hard for the first time. Loved it. This. Was. Hilarious. Thank you, Merry Christmas, and never stop Pitch Meetinging!
I just discovered these videos and i'm dying on every viewing. Thank you a million times over, these videos are tight.
I've started saying "Whoops. Whoopsie" way too much in my everyday life lmao
Whoops!
Whoopsie!
Try to wean yourself to just saying, "Whoops!" Then, be pleasantly surprised when someone replies, "Whoopsie!" I know it looks kinda like the same guy, but these two words are always said by different people in these sketches.
These are such great, fun, insightful deconstructions. Please don't change a thing. So well done!
I love your channel keep up the great stuff!!!
I've now seen tens of these, and still adore them. You're so likeable!!!
"so you have a Christmas movie for me"
Me a person who has never seen die hard: *WHAT*
You should definitely see it. One of the greatest films of all time.
It's a good action movie but don't start thinking it is an actual Christmas movie. It's like he said later in this episode. The only reason people call it a Christmas movie is because it takes place at Christmas time and the Christmas party as a reason for going to the building.
@@ericbeilmann3649 Booo! Die Hard is totally a Christmas movie! It features a main character who recognizes the importance of love and family, and the film ends with "Let It Snow" playing over the credits. If you can't feel the holiday spirit from this movie, then you don't have a soul!
Christmas Double Feature: Die Hard and Lethal Weapon.
@@ericbeilmann3649 no it's my favorite Christmas movie followed by home alone. What do you watch for Christmas?
The reason that you don't get enough "likes" from all great quality and full of wit is, we just wanna keep seeing more and more of this!
like always, pure gold ^^
“My uncle died while testing erectile dis function pills”. Same bro😔
That was the funniest line.
That...was the funniest joke ever in Pitch Meetings.
Lmao
Did he die harder with a vengeance?
@@jayzenitram9621 yea his mega boner was vengeful
I told my Wife who had never seen it before that it was a Christmas movie just so I could watch it again!! Hahaha
That's what my ex-boyfriend told me, too. You could say I was a "die hard fan" of Alan Rickman back then (which my bf also knew) and now I hate this film with a passion.
@@LeoTheDarkAngel hahaha, so he played the ole "his your favourite actor" routine, whilst I went down the Christmas movie route!!! Hahaha🤣🤣 classic guy moves!!
@@anthonyprice434 Well, I read in the internet that Alan Rickman was in Die Hard and mentioned it and he was all like "It's a christmas movie actually and it's christmas soon. Wanna watch?" I really wish we would've watched "Love actually" instead 🙄😂
@@LeoTheDarkAngel 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
@@anthonyprice434 Was probably my first reaction, too, when I watched it with my mother 😂
But I liked some of the actors.
It just ain’t Christmas at our house until we see miracle on 64th st, it’s a wonderful life, and Hans Gruber falling off of Nakatomi tower.
Lethal Weapon, Die Hard 1,2 & The Long Kiss Goodnight are great Christmas classics lol !
Man this was one of your best!!
Pirates of the Caribbean pitch meetings! One for each movie lol I love these they’re hilarious!!
"Right, he's not wearing any shoes and I know the entire history of that."
🤣🤣🤣
i am re-watching pitch meetings. I think I finished them all and a pitch meeting weekly is not enough to satisfy the craving...
TH-cam constantly suggests pitch meetings I've already seen multiple times. I constantly click through to watch them again. No, this isn't a complaint.
My favourite series on TH-cam hasn't let me down 👍
Now I will never be able to unhear why my favourite Christmas movie is called 'Die Hard'.
Thanks, Ryan.
Same here.
I've become a big fan of these pitch meetings it was super easy, barely an inconvenience!😂😁
These are all so on point it's very impressive.
ONCE AGAIN - Just brilliant!
I have decided that i never need to watch another movie these pitch meeting sum it up to well.
Everyone knows, when the weather outside is frightful, Die Hard is just delightful. And when you've got no place to go, let it show, let it show, let it show :D
3:46 till ur editor.just saying.ur my favorite youtuber EVER keep it up
You guys are awesome!
Hi Ryan
Love your pitch meetings!
Would be awesome if you would make one with A Good Day to Die Hard 😄
I don't know why, but I get a feeling that both ScreenRant and Ryan are really happy about pitch meeting. Like they get excited over it and it makes me happy too. Thank you Ryan for pitch meetings.
God damn it I need these pitch meetings in my life and I also imagine that real pitch meetings are very similar to these
You make my days easier my sir thank you ! Wow wow wow 😮
"So you have a Christmas movie for me?"
"Yes sir I do, its gonna be super violent'
"What?"
*Mashes like button*
Thats all it took LOL had me at the opening line HAHAHA!
That kid that guy shot.....was Steve Urkel
I have enough faith in Ryan to like before the video starts
If Jake Peralta watched he’d be Pissed
99
99!
99!
XD
NINE NINE!!!
Ninety nine!
I watch this film every year no matter wether people say it's a Christmas movie or not
die hard is a Christmas movie, confirmed
That was frickin HI larious. You crack me up.
"Oh, waiting 3 decades to officially declare a movie a christmas film is tight!"
Very clever ... and spot on.
THIS was perfect!
The best Xmas film
*Iron man 3*
If Die Hard is a Christmas movie, so is Eyes Wide Shut. Is that the kind of world you want to live in?
Jared Wales i was joking
"Die Hard isn't a Christmas movie, it's a God damn Bruce Willis movie."-Bruce Willis.
We need pitches for all of the Die Hard series. Especially Die Hard 2 and Die Hard with a Vengeance!
These 2 guys are good people. I can tell
Can you do the next two? Wonderfuuuuul!!
