    Fun Fact: The scene when Alan Rickman gets dropped out of the window, they had him up above an air bag and they said "we'll count to three and drop you", but they dropped him on "2" so that look of surprise on his face is genuine.
    Also, prior to "Die Hard", Bruce Willis was best-known for a TV show called "Moonlighting" where he played a private detective with Cybill Shephard and the same kind hard-boiled snark he displayed in the this movie. Die Hard really made his career.

      But as a kid I remember him being an action star was a joke since he was so goofy on Moonlighting. No one could see him in an action movie. Back then you had to be huge and muscular (Schwarzenegger and Stallone). He was probably the first actor that totally jumped genres and nailed it. Same with Michael Keaton.

    Yippee-ki-yay is a cowboy exclamation along the lines of something like “woohoo!” and also used as nonsense noises when herding cattle just to get them moving along.
    So in this movie they refer back to its usage by Roy Rogers who was a famous TV cowboy from back in the black and white TV era. Hans calls John McClane a Cowboy and John responds that he was partial to Roy Rogers as a kid and then later uses the “yippee ki yay” with MF tagged on the end. References that use the phrase with the swearing at the end are referring to this movie. Without it they may be referring back to the original cowboy origins.

    • @Novaximus
      @Novaximus ปีที่แล้ว +10

      It's the little things that seperate a generation. My Boomer father grew up watching tv westerners. There's just no way as an American growing up you've never heard or seen a scene on TV of a cowboy adventurer shouting for his horse. "HI HO SILVER" or "Yip Yip!" or the ever classic "Yeeeee Haw!!!!" CLASSIC western expressions.
      I guess Bruce got it in his head that if you're gonna keep calling me a cowboy I'm going take the liberty of sarcastically playing the part during a perfect time to squeeze in a dry joke after the heightened adrenaline of killing someone. Like in Austin Powers when he wouldn't stop making one liner's after they killed the henchmen in the shark tank. It's just gotta be done.

      Looking around a bit. 1936 movie Rhythm on the Range starring Bing Crosby. Bing sings a song called "I'm an old cowhand (from the Rio Grande)", written by Johnny Mercer.
      But since McClane likes Roy Rogers and he sang that song too that is probably what that character is referencing.
      That's some old stuff. With reruns I've seen some black and white shows before but don't think anything that old like Roy Rogers.

      I have always thought it was because of the dialog and the plot and that they didi not have CGI back then. They had to rely on practical effects and did not have all the wondrous things that they can do with CGI today. So they had to make sure that the plot, action and story kept the audience interested.

    29:02 Hans is cool, calm, and collected during all the violence and all the adversity from McClane. He only loses his shit when someone challenges his intellect and downplays how good he is at what he does. It wasn't that he was being subservient, it was just that his massive ego reflexively cared more about how *_fast_* he got in Holly's face over how it looked in getting there. I love that character moment 🔥 No, it's not a typical "villain" thing to do, but it says a lot about his motivations and flaws, making him more interesting and well-developed.

    It was not done on purpose, the actor just looked like Jeffrey Dhamer with his blonde hairs, haircut and glasses.

    • @mattvsmetaverse
      @mattvsmetaverse ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Was just about to make this observation myself. To tag on to that, it's possible--however, unlikely--that Dahmer saw the popular film and modeled his look after the character. That's really the only possible relation.

      @Biggiiful ปีที่แล้ว +15

      It's really just a somewhat popular look for some guys in the 80's. Dhamer didn't come up with it. It wasn't unique. Long blind hair and big rimmed glasses is late 70's and 80's look.

I did a full analysis of the movie and then I had a whole chapter about traditional x-mas movies and what their common denominators were. Lastly I drew paralels to different scenes and underlying themes in Die Hard. And last a lengthy conclusion as to why Die Hard is definetly an x-mas movie, allthough it is undoubtedly wrapped in untraditional paper! I got top grade!

    Die Hard was originally going to be an Arnold Schwarzenegger film.

    In the States, many say "Merry Christmas to you and yours" rather than to mention family specifically. 1. As Hanna suggests, some people do not have families or there is drama with them at the time. 2. It can be perceived as a bit TOO personal to mention someone's family unless you really/actually know that person well. "To you and yours" can mean family, friends, people who are important to you and is far less intrusive.

    Allen Rickman's big breakout role in film. before this he was a Shakespearean actor, and before this, Bruce Willis was in an 80's comedy series called Moonlighting. this was his breakout into being an action star.

  • @mikelambert9624
    @mikelambert9624 ปีที่แล้ว +25

    Great reaction! Die Hard is so iconic that future action movies described themselves using the Die Hard name. Example - The movie Speed was advertised as 'Die Hard on a bus'. Under Siege was advertised as 'Die Hard on a battleship'. By the way both Speed and Under Seige would be great action movies to react to on the channel, make it happen Ash!

      Speed was actually Runaway Train on a bus.

      It's funny that you mention "Under Siege" because that was the film that scuppered the plan for the third "Die Hard" film to be set on a cruise ship. And no, contrary to popular belief, the script wasn't recycled into "Speed 2: Cruise Control".

      True, though technically it isn't until Die Hard 2 where Val Verde is mentioned ;). That being said, isn't that also in Commando? Been a long while since I watched that movie.

    ash and hanna fun fact , allen rickman was really up on a scaffold or something like that really high and the director told him that they were going to drop him on a count of 3 but instead they did it on 1 so the fear on hans face was rickman's real fear

    Funny Story about Alexander Godunov (Karl): my dad accidentally met him and Jacqueline Bisset in a restaurant in Chicago when my dad was piss drunk with his sister. He didn't recognize either of them, sat himself down, bumbed a cigarette off Godunov, looked at Jacqueline and said "you look just like Jacqueline Bisset" Alexander replied "because that's who that is". My dad, mocking his accent, repeated the reply before it clicked and said "wait...if you're Jacqueline, then that would make you Alexand...😳...oh, excuse us." He proceeded to pick up my aunt off the floor and make a hasty exit. 🤣🤣🤣

    OMFG, It's not fair to have me laughing that hard that early. I had to stop the reaction @ 3:01 for like 2 minutes. Best editor on TH-cam. If you really want to see Alan Rickman as a hilarious, terrible villain, you need to react to "'Robin Hood : Prince of Thieves" It is a really fun movie with Kevin Costner.

  • @screwylooygaming

    No one in North America had ever heard of or seen Rickman, when this came out. Costner did a Robin Hood movie after this. When I saw it I saw Rickman and thought that is the guy that was in Die Hard. He has been on my radar ever since. Great actor in diverse roles. RIP Alan Rickman.

    When John Mclean asked to be called Roy, he was referring to Roy Roger's, a 1950s television cowboy, Roy Rogers. He was known as the King of cowboys back then and used to sing a song called Yippee ki yay.

  • @randyhochstein8455
    @randyhochstein8455 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I believe that “Yippee Kiyay” most likely originated in the early cowboy movies. With stars like Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, and Audi Murphy. I would even go so far as to guess it was from one of the many yodeling cowboy songs that were popular in that era.

    One symbolism you didn’t know that was at the end of the movie. Officer Powell was in the tv show called Family Matters and his name was Carl Winslow. He was only known by that character name. So it only makes sense that he get to kill that character off.

    6:34 younger people watching this film always give her a hard time about switching her name to her maiden name. I don't think younger people understand how different the 80s was regarding women's working rights. Her character even mentions why in the film but most younger people wouldn't pick up on it. The 80s was when there was still strong prejudices against women seeking high level positions in executive roles. And stigma attached to being a divorced woman and/or single mother. Enough to effect employment chances. And on top of that her character is working for a Japanese Company. Japanese companies can still be very conservative even these days! In the 80s Japan was a major world tech country/producer and a lot of our electronics, white goods and cars were being made in Japan. Getting a job with a Japanese company in the 80s had great potential. Her character had very good reasons to keep her marital status under wraps considering the historical context. But they make up at the end of the film ❤️

    The Nakatomi building was actually the still-under-construction Fox Plaza tower in Century City, which opened in 1986. This movie was distributed by Fox (20th Century Fox), and since most of the building wasn't occupied yet, it was a fine place to make the movie, because they already owned and controlled it. Though the movie production did do some damage to the building which they had to pay to repair. Fox has since moved out of the building, and now the building is simply known by its address, 2121 Avenue of the Stars in Century City. It's definitely still there and still looks virtually identical to how it looks in the movie.

    Please watch the sequels! You will love them at least through part 4. Part 3 has Samuel L. Jackson and Jeremy Irons. Part 4 is my favorite overall actually. Everything gets dialed up to 10 from the action to the dialogue. Look forward to it.

    I want to take a minute and chat about Alexander Gudonov (Karl). He was a member of the Bolshoi Ballet who sought asylum in 1979 when the company was in NYC. His wife, also a soloist with the ballet, was kept in a plane on an airport runway in New York. Ostensibly as a leverage maneuver to force him back. But instead, she was given the option to defect. She declined, so back to Russia she went, while he remained and co-starred in Die Hard, The Money Pit, Witness and more. Sadly, he was an alcoholic and ended up dying at the age of 45 in 1995.
