Studio executives had problems with crashing an entire jumbo jet with passengers. The backup plan was to crash a cargo plane and kill only the two pilots. But ultimately the director felt like the terrorists would seem more dangerous with the bigger spectacle.
In the first movie, most of McClane's one-liners were scripted, but Bruce Willis threw in a few ad-libs. The director liked them and told Willis that for the second movie, he could ad-lib all he wanted. The third movie is really good. Can't wait for the reaction.
18:45 needlepoint is an art where you literally sow a picture onto a fabric medium to produce pictures, experts do this WITHOUT a stencil on the fabric. My grandmother used to do this, that’s the only reason I know about it.
The one thing I just cannot gloss over is the scene when John proved Hatchling team was using blanks with the blue stickers. It is beyond believable that he would fire all of those in a station and not get gunned down. Look at all of the cops behind him.
Yes Robert Patrick starred in this a year before Terminator 2. Apparently Jim Cameron saw him in this and auditioned him for the T1000 role, once Billy Idol had to drop out.
Did I miss something? Jane looks like she is dressed up for a 1940s costume party. She looks like she's going to sing and could her lipstick be any redder? Could have used pagers. People typically had codes worked out to send messages with pagers.
Yes!! Love this movie! I remember seeing the TV version where they dubbed over the swearing. Rather than McLane saying "Yippie Kay Yay, Motherf--ker," its "Yippee Kay Yay, Mr. Falcon." Lol!!
Yes, practical effects. They did the explosions at a small regional Michigan airport. In the movie it was just one terminal but it was actually the entire little single-terminal airport. The movie paid to use it and then rebuild it.
At about 37:00 minutes you mentioned that people should be turning on their cell phones and realizing what was going on, In 1990 cell phones were still rare and just starting to filter down into the public purview and coverage would have been very spotty at best, so the chance that someone on the plane had one and could use it to help would be remote. This is demonstrated by using beepers and phone booths early on in the movie,
Cell phones were bulky, expensive and not widely available like today compared to 1990. Also there was no wifi and internet. That is why you see John with a pager and civilians using payphones in the airport.
1990... virtually nobody would have a cellphone. Maybe a bulky satalite phone or something, but not likely on the plane. Wifi for sure wouldn't have been a thing. The internet wasn't even open to the public until 1993. Idk how the phones built into the plane worked. Probably by satalite.
So dark. Man I had forgotten about the plane crash. . . . Great action packed movie. I had a awesome time watching this with guys. Very good video. Looking great 💐👍
Great reaction. I'd say this is a fun fact, but there's nothing fun about it. Originally, they were going to show the little girl who owned that doll that John found in the wreckage of the crashed plane. But the filmmakers changed their minds and apparently came to the conclusion that it was a step too far, so they showed other sympathetic passengers like the elderly woman instead to hammer in what monsters Stuart's terrorists were. 45:24 He didn't shoot him at that point because he was planning to use him as leverage to get the terrorists to back off and land his wife safely. So killing him would have been extremely stupid as that would have meant he had no bargaining chip and the terrorists would have had nothing left to lose and probably would have just killed everyone they could out of spite. Not that it mattered since the plan failed when Stuart's men showed up the very next second, so John had to improvise as he does every time he's in these situations.
At 36:30 you mention never seeing modern movies kill innocent people this way, and it's true - 9-11 forced Hollywood to hit the emergency brakes on what had been, up to that time, the #1 Box Office draw - the action movie. It took a few years of relying on the previously old fashioned "disaster" movies before they finally found a workaround - SUPERHERO movies and FANTASY films (with sizeable budgets, finally). But here's some trivia if you're interested: producer Joel Silver changed the action genre forever with the one-two punch of Lethal Weapon and Die Hard in 87' and 88' respectively, and for just over a decade, action movies used terrorists and faux terrorists as their go-to bad guys. "Die Hard on a..." became a phrase to encapsulate a TON of wannabes like Passenger 57, Air Force One, Toy Soldiers, Under Siege, Cliffhanger, Speed, Sudden Death, Executive Decision, The Rock, Con Air, Olympus has Fallen, and White House Down. Those are also among the best (and most entertaining) examples. Prior to that, during the Chuck Norris/ Burt Reynolds/ Richard Roundtree/ Clint Eastwood era of the 70's, it was mostly "gangs" and "drug runners" doing the heavy lifting for all the Hollywood heavies. Films like Death Wish, The Warriors, Assault on Precinct 13, Dirty Harry, Shaft, The French Connection, Gator, Good Guys Wear Black, and Mad Max led the charge with a TON of random gangs and violent drug dealers. The 80's ushered in the era of "ultra-violence" though. Parents in the conservative U.S. were up in arms about films like Robocop and the Die Hards/ Lethal Weapons because they were shockingly bloody affairs compared to our parents' old cowboy films - and even a lot of WWII films - where there was virtually no blood on screen at all. The 80's were drenched with it, from action films to horror films, and this started the era of the Hollywood "kill counts", where rabid fans would compare horror icons like Freddy and Jason and Michael Meyers, or action heroes like Rambo, The Terminator, and John McClaine. 9-11 changed all that, and Hollywood started focusing more on physical action, Jackie Chan-inspired action like the Bourne movies, or car-chase movies like the Fast and Furious films, or computer-generated violence like the Transformers, plus an ever-increasing emphasis on superheroes and high fantasy/swords and sorcery films. I remember either an article or a news bit on TV back in the 80's talking about how the U.S. was - at that time - largely immune to terrorism, and people wondered whether we should glorify such stories when Ireland and Europe and the Middle East were increasingly becoming hotbeds of terrorist activity. On 9-11, we joined the club, and now it DOES seem a bit odd to go back and watch the "innocence" on display when young filmmakers would just show off horrors indiscriminately, but on some levels, that "spectacle" has been a big part of box office draw since the waters caved in on the Egyptians in Cecil B. DeMille's The Ten Commandments. If you guys are squeamish about seeing kids getting killed on screen, DO NOT watch the director's cut of Wolfgang Petersen's Troy. The theatrical cut omits a LOT of violence, but the longer - and far better - director's cut shows what it probably would've been like for real, with invading armies simply putting EVERYONE to the sword without mercy. Talk about shock, lol. Nice to know that people (like you two) still care, of course, but before America got a taste of real-world terrorism, "ultra-violence" was just another movie maguffin that became popular because of the unprecedented success of the first Die Hard, as well as horror films like Friday the 13th.
I just find it amusing they waited til the flight was basically on approach to for some reason move the TV guy to Coach when he would've been in first for like 6 hours (assuming it was a direct flight)
By the way, according to the time of the film, 20:56 in the scene of the conversation between John McLane and Lorenzo in the office of Capt. Lorenzo's Secretary actress Dru Berrymore, a real porn actress, but in the movie she has a role for only 4 seconds)
The demise of Stuart would have made that engine useless. It does not take much to kill a jet engine, which is why most airports that have potential bird issues will take approaches to keep them away.
Damn, Jane. I was completely unaware. You have an amazing bounce & the recoil is wonderful. Sorry but I’m just being honest. Very, very nice. To Justin, my brutha, well done. I tip my hat to you good, Sir. Justin, you enjoy those. Best reaction ever!
Love that you recognized Chief O'Brien (Colm Meaney), but did you catch that Col. Stuart was Section 31 Agent Sloan? For the record Dennis Franz accent is not Wisconsin from this midwesterner's perspective.
I believe it's because it was low on fuel because jet fuel is actually hard to ignite other than the engine doing so, but the fumes are far more flammable. Absent a more scientific explanation, though, I think we could just say 'Hollywood Physics' where cars can explode by merely crashing head-on into walls or trees.
JV nice call on the icicle in the eye and they did have a dad from a sitcom from the 70's in the movie , the actor who played Major Grant was on the TV show Good times and the actor who played the older black man helping John played Chris Rock dad in the hip hop spoof movie cb4
So, not to be the plot hole party pooper, but IF something like this ever happened, the planes would simply divert to other airports. They’re not just going to fly around for hours burning up fuel.
Great movie. I love this movie better than the first. Another great Christmas movie just like Die Hard. Also you should also watch Die Hard 3 (Not a Christmas movie) and stop the other Die Hard movies are horrible. Of course you decide what you like all we do is warn you about the really really bad movies :) . In the Die Hard franchise they had a perfect run for years with first 3 movies but you cant always succeed. Die hard 4 was very bad and depressing and when you thought it was over but then somehow they succeed to make even a way way more bad movie in Die Hard 5 (which I don't even consider a Die Hard movie), Save you're self some time skip part 4 and 5. Also The General in Die Hard 2 comes from the same fictional country as the bad guy in this movie and also that fictional country is where Predator takes place so Commando, Die Hard and Predator all happen in the same universe :)
Great Reaction .... I want to highly recommend you a criticproof INDIAN MOVIE... "R.R.R (RISE ROAR REVOLT) Which had taken the world by storm in 2022." IMDB 8.0 ROTTEN TOMATOES 95% **Truly one of a kind masterpiece.** It has WON AN OSCAR And GOLDEN GLOBE including 32 other USA Filmfestival awards. **It is a must must watch.** IT HAS ALMOST EVERYTHING YOU WOULD WANT IN A MOVIE. IT'S AN EXPERIENCE. ((Don't get afraid by 3hr runtime. It's like finger snap.)) ((First 20 mins are enough to make you watch the entire movie in one sitting.)) **Even JAMES CAMERON watched it twice with his wife and personally congratulated the Director.** THANK YOU BROTHER.
This one's my least favorite of the original 3 "Die Hard"'s, as it basically is a beat-for-beat rehash of the first one; just in an airport.... That being said, I fucking love this movie lol. It's still so much fun.
Love your reactions guys, but you are waaaaay too overdramatic! You create dramatic stories for the extras in the movies to make it very real, it's just a movie, enjoy it!
Studio executives had problems with crashing an entire jumbo jet with passengers. The backup plan was to crash a cargo plane and kill only the two pilots. But ultimately the director felt like the terrorists would seem more dangerous with the bigger spectacle.
😮👍
Boy was he right. Colonel Stuart made hans gruber look like a Disney villain.
Y’all gotta give The Last Boy Scout a watch!a great Willis and Damon Wayans buddy action flick
One of the best movies ever!
In the first movie, most of McClane's one-liners were scripted, but Bruce Willis threw in a few ad-libs. The director liked them and told Willis that for the second movie, he could ad-lib all he wanted.
The third movie is really good. Can't wait for the reaction.
18:45 needlepoint is an art where you literally sow a picture onto a fabric medium to produce pictures, experts do this WITHOUT a stencil on the fabric. My grandmother used to do this, that’s the only reason I know about it.
Definitely packs plenty of punch, heavy-hitting adventure, and explosions galore. Can’t wait for Die Hard with a Vengeance next
You recognize Chief O'Brien, but you didn't recognize that Colonel Stuart is the Section 31 operative Sloan off DS9.
The one thing I just cannot gloss over is the scene when John proved Hatchling team was using blanks with the blue stickers.
It is beyond believable that he would fire all of those in a station and not get gunned down. Look at all of the cops behind him.
In movies you have to suspend belief

and justin is just wearing a black shirt,,lol
@@karlluigi1987 Black is slimming, he has 7 one for everyday of the week lol
19:02 "Jane with the good that's what she said 😂👏
I love this movie! Great Video as always!
Yes!!
Love this movie!
I remember seeing the TV version where they dubbed over the swearing. Rather than McLane saying "Yippie Kay Yay, Motherf--ker," its "Yippee Kay Yay, Mr. Falcon." Lol!!
It was Melon Farmer on my tv
I’d 100% subscribe to see Jane do topless movie reactions 😂
Yes, practical effects. They did the explosions at a small regional Michigan airport. In the movie it was just one terminal but it was actually the entire little single-terminal airport. The movie paid to use it and then rebuild it.

1:39 .. Yooo! 😂👌
Well, Christmas 🎄 has come early, again. Great reaction! 👍🏿
Hill Street Blues....as well 81-87. Great series. 🙂
I see the twins are taking part in this reaction 😮
Major stars.
1990... virtually nobody would have a cellphone. Maybe a bulky satalite phone or something, but not likely on the plane. Wifi for sure wouldn't have been a thing. The internet wasn't even open to the public until 1993. Idk how the phones built into the plane worked. Probably by satalite.
You two are so adorable, you're my favorite couples reactors.
So dark. Man I had forgotten about the plane crash. . . . Great action packed movie. I had a awesome time watching this with guys. Very good video. Looking great 💐👍

if i knew this was going to be the pottymouth episode i wouldve skipped. i learned so many no no words today...
Heck yeah! Yippee kai yay whoa ohhh! I'm not going there 😂 . I love all the "Die Hard movies. Happy to see this 👏

I mean no disrespect at all. But Ms. Jane is looking real lovely and got the twins out as well. Thank you...I love u guys reactions.
Die hard with a vengeance is great!! Part 4 was good but 1&3 are my faves.
By the way, according to the time of the film, 20:56 in the scene of the conversation between John McLane and Lorenzo in the office of Capt. Lorenzo's Secretary actress Dru Berrymore, a real porn actress, but in the movie she has a role for only 4 seconds)

Die hard is in the same universe as lethal weapon and/or commando
JV actor who played Esperanza was in Django unchained and John wick 2
Damn, Jane. I was completely unaware. You have an amazing bounce & the recoil is wonderful. Sorry but I’m just being honest. Very, very nice. To Justin, my brutha, well done. I tip my hat to you good, Sir. Justin, you enjoy those. Best reaction ever!
Dennis Franz, Hill Street Blues
Love that you recognized Chief O'Brien (Colm Meaney), but did you catch that Col. Stuart was Section 31 Agent Sloan? For the record Dennis Franz accent is not Wisconsin from this midwesterner's perspective.
i thought it was more like boston
Dennis Franz is from Illinois, I'm sure it's somewhere near Chicago seeing now that Franz's accent is more than likely a Chicago one.
Enjoy yall both.. thank you for the entertainment always.. wish yall the best forever..
They're McDonalds, I'm McClane's. LOL If you get it, you get it.
Love the training knife, btw.
Why did the plane explode like that if they had no fuel left?
I believe it's because it was low on fuel because jet fuel is actually hard to ignite other than the engine doing so, but the fumes are far more flammable.
Absent a more scientific explanation, though, I think we could just say 'Hollywood Physics' where cars can explode by merely crashing head-on into walls or trees.
Because SCIENCE!
3 and 4 are the best ones IMO.
I'm not gonna say either is actually better than the 1st one, but I also love 3 and 4.
A cell Phone probably wouldn't as the bad Guys would have gad equipment to block the cell Phone frequencies.
Hope you two are having an great and awesome ❤
I believe that is a Chicago accent. Definitely not Wisconsin.
I can only think of two reasons why I clicked on this...
My first thoughts aswel lol 🤣 I would be watching ether way but that thumb nail definitely made me click
I too clicked on this very quickly… and I barely like the movie
Robert Patrick!!!
Can't wait for yall to watch die hard with vengeance. Best one to me and funny one
Nice film😂🎉😊
Totally wicked from the first movie
Love you guys
forgot this film was really good.....may have to go watch it again XD
Another great content! Can't wait for you two to react to the third one (it's my favorite). ❤
JV nice call on the icicle in the eye and they did have a dad from a sitcom from the 70's in the movie , the actor who played Major Grant was on the TV show Good times and the actor who played the older black man helping John played Chris Rock dad in the hip hop spoof movie cb4
That is not a Wisconsin accent, that is a Chicago accent.
I’m interested on what year you two were born lol
yippy ka-yay mother-father!!
Not Han... Hans :)
I love the whole series and some of them are not as good as others, but they're all still worth watching.
First 3 were phenomenal. Last 2 were ok. But the first 3 was when Bruce Willis was in his prime.
Is it bad that I played the games before watching any of the movies?
And actually & really Die Hard 2 also had another name added on it too,it's called Die Hard 2:Die Harder.
So, not to be the plot hole party pooper, but IF something like this ever happened, the planes would simply divert to other airports. They’re not just going to fly around for hours burning up fuel.
umm...hkmmm wow 👀oKay!!!
Love it!
Great movie. I love this movie better than the first. Another great Christmas movie just like Die Hard. Also you should also watch Die Hard 3 (Not a Christmas movie) and stop the other Die Hard movies are horrible.

You heard it here first guys, pantless reactions! I will only sign up if you watch 9 and a 1/2 weeks or Basic Instinct LMAO
First like and comment!
This one's my least favorite of the original 3 "Die Hard"'s, as it basically is a beat-for-beat rehash of the first one; just in an airport.... That being said, I fucking love this movie lol. It's still so much fun.
Watching Die Hard Vengeance will be a relief after watching this underwhelming sequel
If you think this is an underwhelming sequel, let me introduce you to A Good Day to Die Hard...
He was a caretaker the property not a clergyman. Sad anyway.
Oh my
It’s not fake snow watch the making of the movie
👉Also recat to RRR it's a world class EPIC in 2023🔥🔥🔥🔥
#GoVickers🎉
What's up with the fancy schmancy dress, hair and makeup?
Hey, if you can't dress up to watch a Die Hard movie, what can you dress up for?
Goot Lawd!
Wow, Jane, you looks amazing😍
My opinion for movies
1st and 3rd very cool
2nd cool
4th ok
5th piece of 💩
For me this is the 2nd worst Die Hard movie.. but the 3rd movie is probably on par with the 1st movie..
The 3rd one is over rated. Ruins the ending of the 2nd one but none of them are as good as the first one.
It's a movie! Relax! When you talk over so much of the movie you miss small details that would explain the story better to understand.
There is no diehard five. There’s a pretend movie… The movie, pretending to be diehard, but I recommend you avoided like the plague.
😳 🍺🍺🤤
Love your reactions guys, but you are waaaaay too overdramatic! You create dramatic stories for the extras in the movies to make it very real, it's just a movie, enjoy it!
I love watching your reactions, but your edits are Way Too Long. 30-45 minutes are pushing it.
