I remember last year, my sisters & I went to my older sister's boyfriend's family's house on Christmas Day & his brother actually had a sweatshirt on that had that very thing & artwork on it, so I told him I had watched the movie the night before.
I have a 3d wooden advent calendar of Nakatomi plaza with a little magnetic Hans Gruber. The days are numbered from 1 at the very top all the way to 24 at the bottom. Each day you move Hans down a slot until he hits the bottom at 24 because "it's not Christmas until Hans Gruber falls from Nakatomi Plaza". 🤣
I like that. This is 1 I should've watched with my Dad & my younger brother. My brother eventually took a liking to the Die Hard movies & my Dad liked the movies (well, this 1 at least) & I remember my Dad actually took him to go see Live Free or Die Hard when it came out in theaters. I didn't get into this movie until after both of them passed away, years ago (happened very close). Now, I watch this movie every year on Christmas Eve as part of my new tradition since that year & when I do, I like to think that they're in the living room watching the movie with me in spirit.
4:50 the most under appreciated ultimate hero moment of the movie!! If you remember, earlier in the film when Al's talking to Bruce's character John, he talks about how he shot/killed a kid early in his career. A young gang banger. He never used his weapon since. The power of the music building up with the slow refocus on his face, and the fact he finally had the courage to take control and use his gun to kill the bad guy, and easily the #2 bad guy only less important than Han's Gruber, creates the most heroic moment.
Not only that, but as soon as he knows the threat had been neutralized, he brings the gun back to a ready position. He's not frozen in shock at what he has done. Even when there seems to be a new threat, he turns to face it but keeps his weapon in a ready position. Truly a professional.
I read that when they were filming the drop scene they were going to release Alan Rickman on the count of three but instead they released it on one , with out his knowledge, His facial expression says it all...lol
I'm still here in 2025 because i absolutely love this movie whether you consider it a christmas movie or not i think everybody can agree it's awesome with one of the most memorable villains ever rip alan rickman
The best scene of all in this film has to be when he straps the computer and the C4 to the chair and sends it down the elevator shaft. The explosion is fantastic; I turn the volume up for this. Needs a paint job and a shit load of screen doors!! Great scene!
The watch was NOT from Ellis. It was a gift to Holly from Nakatomi corporate and the boss Mr. Takagi, for a business deal Holly helped the company close. Ellis only encouraged Holly to show it off to John.
I rewatched this movie before Christmas. I never realized that the watch John takes off Holly is the Rolex Ellis was bragging about earlier in the movie

I think it's cool how when Karl shows back up at the end, he loos very similar to how Khan looked at the end of Star Trek 2, and the music played for each sequence while not the same, was very similar. It seems like an intentional nod to Wrath of Khan.
That look on Alan rickman’s face was real, they where supposed to let him go after the count of 3, but the stunt coordinator just let him go after the count of 1.
Honestly as much as I love sam L jackson I really think they could have gotten away with Al and John McClane in die hard 3 I know the actor couldn't do it because of family matters but I always wanted to see die hard 3 with Al powell and John McClain imagine a buddy cop movie with John McClain and his best friend Al Powell fighting crime in my dreams i suppose
Christmas movies I like watching during The Christmas Season, Die Hard and Home Alone..... I know lots of people like Christmas Vacation with Chevy Chase, I can it or leave it.
마지막 악당의 머리에 총구멍을 내버리는 부분은 진짜.......... 영화 에어포스 원의 최종결전에서 세 악당 중 두 명의 대가리에 대놓고 총구멍을 내버리는 그런 모습의 원본이라고나 할까요? 그것도 손에 기관단총을 들고 낄낄거리는 얼간이의 머리와 얼굴에 단 한방으로 구멍을 만들어서 죽이는 부분은 진짜........... 테러리스트라고 깝죽대던 얼간이가 총구를 정면으로 보는 식으로 단 한발의 총알이 머리통에 그대로 박아버려서 테러범이 아닌 단순한 고깃덩어리로 만들어 버리는 것이야말로 어떻게 보자면 총살형을 대놓고 집행하는 꼴인 동시에 지 잘난 듯이 깝죽대던 얼건이가 고작 손톱만한 납덩이 하나가 머리에 박히는 순간 위대한 테러범이니 영웅이니가 아닌 먹을 수 있는 돼지고기만도 못한 비료로 쓰지 못하는 단순한 단백질 덩어리가 되는 모습은 진짜 웃기다고 할 수 있으니..........
They really dropped Rickman. He was equipped with a quick-release harness and they were supposed to drop him on a cue, but they wanted to get his honest reaction so they dropped him when he wasn't expecting it. That's an honest look of terror on his face, there.
4:43 This is the day Carl Winslow has... and THEN he has to go home and deal with Urkel hitting on his daughter. Can we take a moment to respect this man and his patience.

Yippee-ki-yay to Alan Rickman. One of the greatest actors that ever lived! Rest in peace.
Yep but sadly.
Thats true😢
my favourite actor...such a shame
Loved him the Harry Potter films
He should won the best supporting actor in this movie Alain Rickman.Ladies and gentlemen love this line the way he said Alain
1:53 It's not Christmas until Hans Gruber falls off Nakatomi Plaza.
With a dose of gravity!
I remember last year, my sisters & I went to my older sister's boyfriend's family's house on Christmas Day & his brother actually had a sweatshirt on that had that very thing & artwork on it, so I told him I had watched the movie the night before.

The Perfect Christmas movie to watch with the family
Lmao
I like that.
This is 1 I should've watched with my Dad & my younger brother.

Now it feels like Christmas 😁
Never Gets Old!!!!
2:16 had to shot 4 times because Bruce Willis kept making Bonnie Bedelia laugh.
I read that when they were filming the drop scene they were going to release Alan Rickman on the count of three
but instead they released it on one , with out his knowledge, His facial expression says it all...lol
two
Epic death scene notwithstanding, Alan was pretty pissed off with his director for giving him such an almighty scare at that moment…
As cool as it sounds, this was actually proven to be false. Rickman was just that good at conveying the right facial expression.
What a movie,I watch it a million times never gets old,they don't make movie like this,Amen to that...
"Asssssshooooles" Alan Rickman (Presumably)
1:16 RIP Huey Lewis. No more new drugs for you, my friend. 😓
That's the power of love
I always thought it was Huey, I would have bet money on it
Looks like Huey Lewis. But it is actually Dennis Hayden.
Yay! The best xmas movie happy holidays
Good old Bruce Wills, You never fail me now
0:21 *It hits harder when you realize the henchman was about to finish off John. Hans' own arrogance led to his downfall.*
I think the script writing has something to do with it.
Steve Urkel: Way to go, Big Guy!
lol 😂

With all the damage and lost papers and losing their head, I wonder if nakatomi was able to survive as a company after this event
insurance.
She's still working there a year later so it survived at least one year.
3:22 magical! ❤ How each of the two knew it was the other (despite they haven't actually met before).
@KonstasSam exactly - bc of his f expressions only.
James Horners unused cue from Aliens when Powell shoots Karl is so fucking good
That sounds like music from Star Trek II. I know, same composer 😊
Great film.
Hans was a fabulous bad guy.
In the movie, Alan Rickman plays Jeremy Irons's younger brother. In the reality, Alan Rickman was two years older than Jeremy Irons.
He always seemed older.
@nicoleackerman205 Alan Rickman was the older and Jeremy Irons is the younger, right?
@@BrunoCosta-dp7ms I meant Alan seemed older could never buy Jeremy character being older
@@nicoleackerman205 At the same time, Alan was the older and Jeremy is the younger.
That's how great they were at acting.
Gruber didn't realize the gravity of the situation until the end
The best scene of all in this film has to be when he straps the computer and the C4 to the chair and sends it down the elevator shaft. The explosion is fantastic; I turn the volume up for this.
Needs a paint job and a shit load of screen doors!! Great scene!
0:49 CLASSIC!
Something I just realized is that the watch that John took off was from Ellis, so Ellis helped Hans drop to the ground as payback from the grave.
The watch was NOT from Ellis. It was a gift to Holly from Nakatomi corporate and the boss Mr. Takagi, for a business deal Holly helped the company close. Ellis only encouraged Holly to show it off to John.
I rewatched this movie before Christmas. I never realized that the watch John takes off Holly is the Rolex Ellis was bragging about earlier in the movie
My grandfather saw this film when he was a child. He told me about this old film. Just watched it. It's so good

1:56. The look of genuine surprise.
crew to Rickman, "we will release you on the count of three", Rickman, "ok", crew "One...", drops Rickman for the best surprise look.
Snape falls like Dumbledore..😢
The best scene ever done in my opinion. The look on his face was amazing!
Best Film Ever!!

I thought it was 2, but no matter, they did that on purpose to get a genuine reaction to Alan being dropped, and they got the shot.
Truly one of my favorite actors.Sorry he passed away
Saw that movie 4 wks ago twice on the IMAX, such an absolute outstanding movie for me

i love this film
Michael Kamen I miss your melody, rest in peace.
Henchman jumps out to kill Mclain, cue James Horner's music from the end of ALIENS, the track entitled "Resolution and Hyperspace".
Bellissimo film 👍
Alan Rickman. 🖤
They should have brought Alan back to play Hans' twin for Die Hard 2.
I wanted a movie where John and Al fighting bad guys together.
Honestly as much as I love sam L jackson I really think they could have gotten away with Al and John McClane in die hard 3 I know the actor couldn't do it because of family matters but I always wanted to see die hard 3 with Al powell and John McClain imagine a buddy cop movie with John McClain and his best friend Al Powell fighting crime in my dreams i suppose
2:12 dang you can hear him hit the ground too
Greatest Christmas film of all time.
best film ever!!
RIP Paul Gleason as well. We all loved to hate him through the 80's.
Christmas movies I like watching during The Christmas Season, Die Hard and Home Alone.....
I know lots of people like Christmas Vacation with Chevy Chase, I can it or leave it.
RIP Alan Rickman
Our time has passed John

@pickledwall1742 definitely haha. And hans' plan was basically make a lot of money, make a lot of noise and disappear
1:53 ohh shhhhiitttttt.

Merry Christmas 2024 everyone
I think this is the only movie which brings tears to my eyes when someone pumps someone else full of lead.
마지막 악당의 머리에 총구멍을 내버리는 부분은 진짜..........
영화 에어포스 원의
최종결전에서
세 악당 중
두 명의 대가리에
대놓고 총구멍을 내버리는 그런 모습의 원본이라고나 할까요?
그것도
손에 기관단총을 들고
낄낄거리는
얼간이의 머리와 얼굴에
단 한방으로
구멍을 만들어서 죽이는 부분은 진짜...........
테러리스트라고 깝죽대던 얼간이가
총구를 정면으로 보는 식으로
단 한발의 총알이
머리통에 그대로 박아버려서
테러범이 아닌
단순한 고깃덩어리로 만들어 버리는 것이야말로
어떻게 보자면
총살형을 대놓고 집행하는 꼴인 동시에
지 잘난 듯이 깝죽대던
얼건이가
고작 손톱만한 납덩이 하나가 머리에 박히는 순간
위대한 테러범이니 영웅이니가 아닌
먹을 수 있는 돼지고기만도 못한
비료로 쓰지 못하는
단순한 단백질 덩어리가 되는 모습은
진짜
웃기다고 할 수 있으니..........
1:56 - I'll still "watch" this.
Jedynka 👍✌️👋
Christmas 2024 and still stands the test of time. Merry Christmas to all and Yippee-ki-yay Motherf%$&ers!!!!! 🎄🎅
Yipeekayae, motherf****** 👀
¡Señor McClane!
He was dropped sooner than he was told thus the real look of sho.😊😊
"You would have made a pretty good cowboy, Hans..."
And thus was born the idea for "Quigly Down Under."
0:59 What is Huey Lewis doing in this movie?
Man, I remember I was the 4th person to start laughing after Hans assistant. Die Hard is a classic frfr
Christmas time problems? Call John Mclaine!😊
How did they film the first part of the scene where Rickman is falling?
Snape ! And that school assistant principal
Rest In Pieces Hans
Jusqu'au de nos jours sa reste le meilleur film cinos américain
4:42 the score from here is borrowed from Aliens (1986).
*NOW* it's Christmas.
More brilliant lines by the deputy chief… I hope that’s not a hostage

4:58 *On Duty and Off Duty and Undercover the Big Guy is alright with me after killing Karl Terrorist at end of this movie.*
Hans should have pulled out his wand
1:00 = lol even Huey Lewis has a sense o' humor ....
Agora me.falem dessa super fita adesiva que grudou no cara todo suado ! 😂😂😂😂😂😂 so tem em hollywood
It's called gaffers tape, without it there would be no movie industry. Just like there would be no rock and roll without duct tape.
I remember this black woman sitting behind us was screaming her head off as Hinds was slowly drawing his gun while dangling out the building.
Mr Winslow for the win 😂
