Rest easy, Alan Rickman. He was a true actor, and a brilliant one at that. I miss him, always.
You should watch Dogma, he's got a small, but very great performance in that
In home alone 1 it's keep the change but in home alone 2 it's Merry Christmas you filthy animals
I was going to suggest this movie, but kept forgetting. Die Hard 2 isn't that good, but you should watch Die Hard With A Vengeance" and "Live Free or Die Hard"
Best reaction ever. Die Hard is a Christmas classic and loaded with practical effects.
It's "Keep the change, you filthy animal".
"Galaxy Quest". Alan Rickman at his best.
Second that, also Prince of Thieves, Dogma and Hitchhiker's Guide
"By Grabthar's hammer, by the suns of Worvan, you shall be avenged."
By Grabthar's Hammer.... what a savings!
@@RyBPierce Yes Hitchhiker's. How did I forget that one.
And Robin Hood : Prince of thieves !
The one redeeming thing about Ellis’s death is that at least he pretends John was his guest, and didn’t give up Holly. A little thing, but the one decent thing he does all movie.
Well don't give him too much credit. Lol. He thought he was charming enough.
good point. Great line though, "ohh, he was such a douche bag and didn't even get a chance to redeem himself" LOL
Didn't he have a thing for Holly though?
Remember: The Christmas season hasnt truly begun until you see Hans Gruber fall to his death.
This is the best christmas movie ever.
THIS.
And when Gremlins are singing carols on the porch
Comment of the day. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👌🏼
This is not a Christmas Movie. It's release date was in June!
John McTiernan is a legendary 80s and 90s action film director. He also directed Predator and Hunt for Red October. You have to react to Hunt for Red October, as a tribute to Sean Connery!
That is an absolutely FANTASTIC suggestion - especially as I don't believe I've ever seen any other TH-camr ever react to that film!
The Hunt for Red October might be my husband’s favorite film. It is so good.
I vote for this idea. Excellent movie.
That movie has a MONSTER cast!
The book is fantastic. I read the book 13 times. The movie is lengendary
Hans Gruber: one of the most iconic action movie villains ever.
He's in the top 5 for sure.
Oh, hands down. Or uhhh...Hans down.
And the most likeable.
yeah, he took a standard villain role and made it iconic.
Alan was ROBBED of a Oscar because this was an action film.
Fun fact: When they were shooting Hans Gruber’s death scene, the director wanted a genuine reaction.
Alan Rickman thought the count was “1, 2, 3” and then they would let him go. But the stunt guys let go at 2. So that was Alan’s genuine scared reaction. He was pretty mad afterwards 😆
Definitely my favorite bit of trivia about this movie. XD
Second fun fact, that was literally his last scene to be filmed in the movie, they did that on purpose JUST IN CASE they pissed Rickman off too much and he walked off the set.
60 ft free fall drop onto a greenscreen airbag. That's a legit stunt that they would almost always use a double for but it was the character's death shot and they wanted the actor's face in it. When they asked him if he would be cool with it, he was thrilled and couldn't wait to do it.
@@chrisleebowers Lol, and then they screwed him. Poor guy.
@@xhagast He was a good sport about it. He did two more takes, but they never got that look of terror as genuine as the first one
This is Alan Rickman's first film, he was an accomplished stage actor, this entire series is alot of fun and I hope u do more reactions
You can tell he was a stage actor and is able to bring that type of acting to film.
In 1988, no one thought Bruce Willis would ever be an action hero. He had spent the last few years charming the nation in "Moonlighting," one of the best, funniest TV shows of the 80's, The only reason he was able to make "Die Hard" is because his "Moonlighting co-star, Cybill Shepard, became pregnant and put the show's production on hold.
I remember seeing this on the big screen not expecting much given Bruce was not an action star at the time.... best action film of the 80#s for me. Close second is the first Lethal Weapon movie.
I love Moonlighting. 🥰🥰
He also set a record for salary. Five million bucks. The highest amount any actor had been paid for a film at the time.
@@mena94x3 Same here. Him and Shepherd had good on screen chemistry but apparently they hated each other off screen.
Silver Valley Coins and Bullion - Well as long as it worked on-screen, they did their job. 👍🏼👍🏼😂
You need to watch" Robin hood. prince of thieves" as Alan Rickman was the Sheriff of Nottingham.. one of his best rolls ever...
That is an excellent Rickman role, possibly better than Die Hard.
"And cancel Christmas!"
Watch the Directors Cut too. They add in a lot of backstory to the Sheriff, cut for time and pacing. It actually makes the movie better.
Best Robin Hood still to this date.
@ Definitely agreed. The one with Russel Crowe was okay, it just seemed like it didn’t know what kind of movie it wanted to be. Prince of Thieves just embraced what it was, even with a lead character switching and then dropping his accent🤣
10:15 - In the first Home Alone it was "keep the change, ya filthy animal".
And in Home Alone 2 it was "Merry Christmas, ya filthy animal.....and a happy new year".
Yep, no Mandela effect necessary, just bad continuity
@@heyimgoingtoplaysomegames Not bad continuity, the movies played in Home Alone are 2 seperate movies. They are both fake movies, and the one in the Home Alone 2 is the fake sequel to the first.
@@Vashjaeger Exactly. The fake gangster movie in the first Home Alone is called "Angels With Filthy Souls" that has the line "keep the change, ya filthy animal" (btw the name of the fake movie is based on an actual 1930s film called Angels with Dirty Faces.) The secuel in Home Alone 2 is called "Angels with Even Filthier Souls" LOL, with the line "Merry Christmas, ya filthy animal! And a happy new year". In the first Home Alone, the scene Kevin is watching, happens inside the protagonist's own PI's office, and the dialog is between the main character and another guy. In Home alone 2, the scene Kevin watches from the secuel, happens inside the protagonist's house, on his studio/living room, next to a christmas tree and the dialog is between the main character and a woman.
@@heyimgoingtoplaysomegames The supposed bad continuity is your Mandela effect. lol
I thought that was a real crime film. I asked the guy at the video store if they had "Angels With Filthy Souls" only to find that the video store didn't have it. It was only when I grew up I realised it was filmed as part of the movie and that character was a knockoff of James Cagney
If you like him that much then you should really watch Robin Hood with him as the evil sherriff of Nottingham.
ooooh yeah.
This was Alan Rickman's first cinematic role. Imagine getting cast as the main villain in a major cinematic production when it's only your first job.
It was actually his second. His first was a film called "Weatherby" in which he had a bit part and was ucredited.
I remember seeing Die Hard in the theatre. After that I watched any movie with Alan Rickman in it. Quigley Down Under was his next film. Fucking love that movie!!
Talk about your BIG break.
TommyJ. - _I LOVE QUIGLEY DOWN UNDER!_
And he was in six TV series/TV movies before Weatherby.
. . . But yes, this was his first major role . . . and for that first major cinematic role to be the main villain, is pretty incredible, and to _own_ it the way he did . . . Fabulous actor.
Another favorite scene stealing Alan Rickman movie is Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Review that one soon, AR is amazing as the Sheriff!
one of the reasons this movie was such a hit was because Bruce Willis was NOT an unbreakable character. he bled all over the place and he was hurting. the reluctant hero.
after a decade of near invincible War heroes, it was a breeze of fresh air.
To see the protagonist actualy be affected by what is happening to him, and ending like a ragdoll.
The same pretty much happens too in Indiana Jones.
Yeah, at the time the action heroes were all like Arnold characters. Almost superheroes. Sure they'd bleed, but they still didn't care. Like it didn't even hurt. He was real, and it was also not that he wanted to be a big hero either. Sadly that only lasted for a few sequels before John Mcclain became the same type of superhero character.
@@Logan_Baron (sigh) yep...
Also, he became famous because of this role.
17:07 That´s Beethoven´s 9th symphony, commonly called "Ode to joy". RIP Alan Rickman.
"I miss Alan Rickman every day."
So say we all.
For more great Alan Rickman, watch "Galaxy Quest" with Tim Allen and Sigourney Weaver!
That movie (Galaxy Quest) is more brilliant than the recognition it gets.
"By gapthar's hammer...what a savings."
Or "Quigley Down Under," Tom Selleck and Alan Rickman (may have been his first movie role!)
Also, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves
And Dogma
The Ode de Joy is not Christmas music. But Die Hard is still a Christmas movie.
Everytime I hear Beethoven it’s a holy night for me!!!
In case you missed it, William Atherton, the man who played the obnoxious TV-news reporter in this film, was also the actor who portrayed the obnoxious government bureaucrat seeking to shut down Bill Murray and company in "Ghostbusters." He was bearded in "Ghostbusters" and clean-shaven here, so you might not have recognized him straight-away.
He also plays a wonderful douchebag in the 80s classic Real Genius with Val Kilmer. Thinking of Val Kilmer, Real Genius and Top Gun are must-see movies with top gun being one of the more perfect movies ever made.
...and Die Hard 2 I believe...
He also has a role in the 1991 comedy Oscar w/ Sylvester Stallone (another movie I’d highly recommend)
William Atherton _excels_ at playing the douche bag.
mike al - 😂😂😂 _Such_ a hilarious line.
On Netflix there is a show called “The Movies That Made Us” and has an episode on Die Hard. It’s a fantastic behind the scenes story of the film.
fun fact, when they droped him off that building they didn"t tell him when, so that reaction was real.
no, they counted down, but instead of dropping him at 1 after 1, they dropped him at 2
And it wasn’t really that building they dropped them off of. (but yes, in a very controlled, safe, movie situation they dropped him earlier than they said they would to get a true reaction)
@@mena94x3 they used real bullets too thats why the reactions to getting shot are so realistic
granddaddyfunk - Totally. 🙄
Everyone and their mothers knows that. STFU
The director, Johnn McTiernan, was at the top of his game. it was at its peak. predator, die hard, hunt for red october, all absolute classics of action cinema directed by him, one after the other.
And Die Hard with a Vengeance and Basic.
@@bloodymarvelous4790 die hard with a vengeance is good, but the last 15 minutes ... are pretty bad.
@@danielcampos5315 nah the ending is not bad it’s just meh but the rest of the film is so good
McTiernan was in a class all by himself. He could turn a back alley into a cinematic opera.
This movie made both Bruce Willis' and Alan Rickman's careers. Neither of them were that well known at this point.
I’d recommend Lethal Weapon too for another 80s classic cop movie also set at Christmas.
But there are no Harry Potter actors in that series for him to gush over.
Most of Shane Black's movies are set at Christmas aren't they? I definitely think after the Die Hard series (stop after 3) a Lethal Weapon series reaction would be great! More 80s/90s movies in general!
@@ChrisSiddallMusic long kiss goodnight is a Shane black Christmas movie and kiss kiss bang bang, oh and iron man 3 is a Christmas movie too
Since you've also watched the first two Alien movies, I think it's the perfect time for you to check out Predator (1987) since it's basically Die Hard director John McTiernan's version of Aliens (1986).
"This is so clever!" "This is so well written!"
Coming to understand why us gen-x folks are not happy at all about most modern flicks... we got to expect a certain... standard... from the blockbusters :)
Exactly!
I'm sure people older than Gen X got to see this movie in theaters as well, and the franchise gathered younger audiences w/ the sequels (though the 5th is atrocious).
@@jp3813 Sure - not what I wanted to express, in case you misunderstood me :)
^THIS! So much this!!!
Very polite way of putting it. Quality in Hollywood dropped like a stone over the past 15 years.
I would also recommend Galaxy Quest, Alan Rickman is awesome in it!
Please watch "Galaxy Quest" !
Home Alone: "Keep the change, you filthy animal."
Hime Alone: Lost in New York: "Merry Christmas, you filthy animal...And a Happy New Year."
Kevin watches the sequel to a movie in his own movie sequel.
The best part of John McClane is how much of a troll he is. As far as putting Rickman on the map, this was his his first role in a feature film
Reginald Vel Johnson made a career out of playing a friendly, everyman cop. Even in Ghostbusters.
Or friendly limo driver in Crocodile Dundee
Now I have a machine gun. Ho Ho Ho.
Can’t help hearing ho.....ho......ho in Rickmans voice.
Die Hard changed the whole field of the Action genre, its a fantastic
This movie is an example of perfect pacing. Everything happens as a reaction to something else, no scene is a throwaway, and nothing is unnecessary. Every scene either advances plot, action, or character.
Very well said. Excellent observation of this films perfection.
Are you insulting contemporary movies? YES !!!!!! 😂
Are you insulting contemporary movies? YES !!!!!! 😂
@ I just hope they never remake Die Hard. Leave perfection alone. Ugh, now I can just sense Hollywood coming up a with a female lead and rehashed story for a cash in.
It is strange that there was no payoff with Robinson in the end.
Bruce was far from being an action hero star at the time. He was famous for his charm and comedy in the tv series Moonlighting. But it was this gamble of casting that made him a star.
Gotta love Clarence Gilyard (hacker guy from terrorists group), I was enjoying his buddy cop role with Chuck Norris in Walker - Texas Ranger TV series.
And Matlock
Ranger Travette! Former Dallas Cowboy!
Ah, I never remember who played him - yet his performance was so memorable.
Love that man, in every role I see him in.
"is that where the line comes from?"
Yeah... it may sound like a myth but back in the 70s, 80s, and even into the 90s we actually had people coming up with new and fun stuff that mostly now serves as templates for references, memes, and remakes.
Well yes but that line in particular is a callback to old westerns like Roy Rogers which is why John McLane said it when he called him a cowboy.
When movie makers were still original
What a condescending way to reply to a genuine question.
@@znk0r Who's?
Damn who shit in your cereal this morning? Also that line is literally a reference lol, he just added the curse word at the end.
I missed the endscene where the cop redeems himself by shooting the bad guy before he kills John.. But great reaction vid. 👍
But they sort of ripped it off from Lethal Weapon from the year before. Same scene at the end Gary Busey.
@@reesebn38 You are probably right but I still missed it. Redemption is a good part of a good Christmas movie. 👍
Still wanted to SEE Nasser react to it...
This was Al Rickmans big break, so without this film we would never have Snape.
Nasser I know you love Alan Rickman. One of my favorite of his films is Galaxy Quest! If you havent seen it yet you need to!
Rickman was 42-years-old when this film was released. He was just getting warmed up.
Yes, This and robin hood prince of thiefs is where I remember akan rickman the most. You should watch it. Alan is wild mood in that one ;)
-"Is he unbreakable in this film?"
-Mmm... yes
Not so much in this one, in the sequels, absolutely.
"You asked for miracles, I give you the

4:10, so do I. He would have been perfect as a Bond villian.
As a life long Bond fan, I never thought of him in that role.
Fun fact: Bruce Willis suffered permanent hearing damage when he shot the guy from under the table. You can actually see him wincing in pain from the noise.
Have you watched love actually? That and die hard are my favourite Christmas movies and both have Allen rickman in them.
RIP allen rickman
If you're a big Alan Rickman fan, I highly recommend "Robin Hood : Prince of thieves", one of his most iconic roles, I'm sure you'll likeit. And it stars Morgan Freeman, too.
Yep, this is where that line comes from.
Ok watch this one and number 3 (Die Hard With A Vengeance) and just SKIP THE REST.
Die Hard 2: Die Harder is disappointing and not anywhere near the quality of the first. The fourth one Live Free or Die Hard is the same. But the fifth movie A Good Day to Die Hard is trash and painful to watch.
Im sure youre just gonna watch them all in order but for me the 1st and 3rd are the only ones I end up rewatching.
The second movie was directed by Renny Harlin, director of Cliffhanger. He didn’t have a whole lot of experience, but did the best he could. I actually think it’s a pretty fun movie, and canonically keeps things stable. Just have to take the second movie with a big grain of salt.
@@heyimgoingtoplaysomegames Ill admit its not terrible, just disappointing. It has its moments but compared to number 1 or 3 it leaves much to be desired. My order goes as far as quality: 1, 3, 2, 4, 5 with 1 being just a bit above 3 and 2&4 split for 3rd place and 5 bring up a far distant rear.
Die hard 2 is another great Christmas movie, what the disappointment? Part 3 and 4 are good too, but part 5 can get flush down the toilet somewhere
"He died a douchebag." The exact words on his gravestone. Best. Leo.
You should see Alan Rickman in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, he's hilarious!
Alan Rickman I loved him in Quigley Down Under
Yes! Absolutely love Quigley Down Under.
Yes Love this movie so much!!
This and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves are THE Alan Rickman performances for my generation.
Fun fact: This was actually Bruce Willis' first big movie role - he'd been a TV star up until this point.
One of the greatest action movies of all time. Also, easily one of the most re-watchable films ever. 10/10
Great reaction! If you want react to another amazing movie starring Alan Rickman, please react to "Galaxy Quest." It has been called one of only four perfect movies ever made. You'll love it!!! RIP Alan Rickman.
That's another great suggestion - BUT, for that movie to really work, you need to have some background in the TV shows / plots / characters / cons referenced in order to fully appreciate it.
What are the other 3 for curiosity?
@@jamesinnes8129 according to Pulitzer Prize winning playwright David Mamet, they are The Godfather, A Place In The Sun, and Dodsworth. I've never heard of the last one. But, there are actual lists of perfect movies and I have no idea if Galaxy Quest is on any of them, but it is a fun AF movie.
@@j.jennings1722 Thanks buddy yes agreed been in my top 5 since it came out.
C'mon. We wanted to see the "Karl's return" reaction!!!!!!!!
Did he he think movie was over and skip it?
@@Anacone Maybe
Fun fact - The look in Alan Rickman's eyes is real - they dropped him before he knew he'd be dropped.
RIP Allan Rickman. His ability to play a smart intimidating villian made him a household name. He was the perfect actor to play Snape after roles like this one, Robbin Hood Prince of Thieves and Quigley Down Under. Those of us who were familiar with Alan Rickman knew he had to be the bad guy and got a pleasant surprise every time Snape proved not to be the villain.
This WAS Bruce Willis' first big hit too and what solidified him as an action movie actor/star too. If you check his filmography he pretty much did only uncredited bit parts before this. In fact that's part of why the movie works and how it was intended: John McClane is NOT supposed to be a macho action star but a relatable struggling everyman. (This is also why the Die Hard sequels didn't quite manage to capture the same quality and spirit.)
Dude, awesome. If I could subscribe twice, bro, I would. Thanks for sharing!
Wow, thanks man! I appreciate you!
@@NassersReviews ...Do you remember the female who participated on the republican side in 2016......trying to run for president? Carly Fiorina. She has Alan Rickman's face. Every time I saw her.....I thought of HIM.
This is my favorite movie of all time. I don’t know what it is about this film, but it is just cinematic perfection. Extremely well developed characters for an action movie, and an entirely different take on the genre in general. Die Hard broke new ground in so many ways, it deserves eternal praise.
You should watch "The Predator" made by the same director, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger
'Predator'. Not 'The Predator'. Two different films
@@michaelrussell3890 My bad, my DVD says "Rovdjuret" which is Swedish for "The Predator"
Yeah two completely different films.
@@mojosodope45 Yeah, one of them is shit, and the other is amazing
Robin Hood:Prince of Thieves ... Alan Rickman is the best part. I love a good villain. 🖤
Rip Alan Rickman. Robin Hood Prince of Thieves. Is Alan Rickman being amazing again, plus Morgan Freeman in it too.
Alan and Morgan are both great but that movie is garbage. I wouldn’t recommend it.
I randomly watched robin hood last week after like 20 years. Lol
@@KevyNova Yes it sucks!! Quigley Down Under. Thats a great Rickman film!
@@reesebn38 there’s one “gag” that unfortunately involves Alan Rickman that is painfully unfunny in a very cringy way. For Nasser’s sake, I hope he doesn’t watch it.
@@KevyNova What the hell are you talking about?!
fun facts: This was Rickman's first ever role, so yes, it put him on the map. And Bruce Willis was "That guy from moonlighting" who only did romantic movies.
This was Alan Rickman's first feature film role, but he started acting in the 70s
@@clarissathompson Yes, good point!
@@clarissathompson He had a role in a feature film called Wetherby a few years earlier, although it was incredibly minor and uncredited.
This movie is so well written. Everything from the picture to the watch gets brought back in and is integral to the story. Also, I wish you watched the very ending.
Ofcourse Yippie ki yay is from here. One of the most famous lines of all time
When Hans falls off the building, Alan is displaying real fear because they dropped him a second earlier then they said they would, and he wasn’t ready. It always makes me crack up a bit 😂.
Fun fact: Die Hard is actually based on a book called Nothing Lasts Forever by Rodrick Throp (which itself is a sequel to a novel called The Detective which was made into a movie starring Frank Sinatra). The tone of the book is much darker than the movie and there are some major differences.
This was the last movie my mother ever saw in a theatre. She was a huge Bruce Willis fan from the Moonlighting TV series & I talked her into going to see it with me. It was the first time either of us had seen it. She loved it.
The last movie I ever saw in the theater with my mom was Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
Technically, this movie is a sequel.
The film is an adaptation of the 1979 Novel 'Nothing lasts forever' by Roderick Thorpe.
The novel was a sequel to Thorpes 1966 novel 'The Detective', which was adapted into the 1968 movie of the same name starring Frank Sinatra.
Although the character was renamed, (the last name is Leland in the novels and previous movie) the producers were contractually obliged to offer Frank Sinatra the part of John McClane first and, due to being 70 years old at the time, he declined the part.
Eventually the part was offered to Willis
RIP Alan Rickman. I would be fascinated to see your reaction to DOGMA. He plays the voice of God in an irreverent film about faith and Christianity. Your point of view would be unique. It's a good one for February.
All I got say is "Welcome to the party pal."
Ah, DIE HARD... but... isn't it too early to start watching this Christmas master piece of a movie?? (Don't at me, just accept the truth that it is a Christmas movie).
MUST watch Die Hard SONG now.
It's here on youtube.
BTW Alan Rickman is the "voice of god" (Metatron) in DOGMA. Also, if you watch The Walking Dead, Rick is an English actor playing an American cop/cowboy.
Is Die Hard a Christmas movie? Yes, it is.
You should watch *"Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves"* (1991) starring Kevin Costner, Morgan Freeman, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, Christian Slater and Alan Rickman.
You should also check out Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and World's End. Three great British movies
I think it being based off of a book, helps it being more well thought out then a typical action movie.
The book "Nothing Lasts Forever" was a sequel to "The Detective". The character's name was not John McClane, it was Joe Leland and he was like 70 years old. The wife was actually his daughter and she fell off of the building with Hans, who's name was Anton Gruber. Those are the biggest changers from the movie.
Fun facts
When Hans falls off the building, Rickman's reaction is genuine. They told him they were gonna drop him by the count of 3, but let him go before that.
In Germany, the movie is called "Stirb Langsam", which translates to "Die Slowly"
This is THE ACTION MOVIE. Very many films steal this setup. It has everything. Comedy, Action, A likeable and relatable star. Everyone tries to copy but noone can replicate
So many things contribute in my eyes to why Die Hard is so great. Love how McClane is at first not trying to even be an action hero and is hiding out trying to get the local police to do it. He has moments where he's really clever, but he also makes mistakes which don't feel contrived, and similarly the villains also get their moments of cleverness and mistakes. And having fewer villains make them feel less like cannon fodder and more like actual threats. This is easily the most intense of the Die Hard movies and the closest I feel like McClane actually gets to dying. The others have their positives (well, except for the awful, awful, fifth one), but the first is on a whole other level.
As for Alan Rickman, this was his first movie role, and not only did he nail it, but Hans Gruber is listed as one of the top movie villains and justifiably so. Also, I think everyone was skeptical about this movie cause no one saw Bruce Willis as a big action star as he basically just did a TV show (which at the time was seen as considerably beneath movies) and I think he was in a flop.
RIP Alan Rickman.
Say, have you watched The Fifth Element yet? With Bruce Willis kicking butt! Tons of fun.
Fun fact: This movie is a sequel to a Frank Sinatra film. They offered the lead role to Frank because is was in his contract but (thankfully) he turned it down.
This movie is based on a book.
It's a father/daughter connection not a husband/wife connection.
It's a rather interesting book with a cool twist.
Rip Alan Rickman, in heaven saying yippee kay ya . BTW you forgot the unmistakable voice of James Earl Jones , voice of Darth Vader, and so much more
I also Enjoy Mr. Rickman. such a great actor. If you want to see more of him, I highly recommend Bottle Shock, Blow Dry and Galaxy Quest.
Oh boy this reminds me of CONAIR. You should totally watch it if you haven't yet. Great reaction, one of my all time favorite action movies, and as you said, Hans Gruber is one of the best movie villains ever depicted on screen: classy, smart, cruel... fantastic job, and I think that is why this movie is so so good, why the hero really shines is because his enemy is so good. I really hope you watch the rest and the 4th, which I think is the second best of this series.
The death of a certain major character in Harry Potter Potter deliberately shot the same way Hans Gruber's death was! You need to see Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Rickman steals that one.
Die Hard 2 and 3 are really worth watching, 3 being the better of the two.
Alan Rickman in "Truly, Madly, Deeply" is the film that put him on the map...
This was Bruce Willis’ breakout role he was basically a nobody and then became an overnight star after this movie came out. This is also Alan Rickman’s first movie he did TV and stage work before but this was his first feature film.
Interesting fact, Bruce Willis wasn't a big movie star when this movie was made. He was more well known for his hit TV show, Moonlighting and was not thought of as an action movie tough guy. I remember before this movie came out people were making fun of the idea of him starring in an action movie. After this movie came out, not anymore!
Robin Hood, Galaxy Quest, Love Actually... Alan Rickman 0 watch them all!
No, Bruce Willis was NOT a huge star at that time. He was on a small TV show called moonlighting. This is the movie that made him.
Great movie free on TH-cam... Remo williams the adventure begins.
Beautiful voice perhaps he is second or third to Keith David who voices Goliath, in the Gargoyles cartoon, and you already said it Morgan Freeman.
This movie was called here in Spain "La Jungla de Cristal" (The Glass Jungle), that is how we know the entire serie of movies
Check out 'truly madly deeply' for his first breakthrough performance.
Die Hard is remarkable for a number of reasons... one of them being the inclusion of three of the great 80's douchebag character actors - the police chief, the reporter, and the cokehead coworker.
The video is cut too fast. Some of the reactions are less than 1 second. There was no time to savour a scene. I do enjoy watching Reactions on You Tube, but this channel is not for me. I'm sure it has it's fans, but I like to enjoy a meal, and not fast food.
