    Fun fact: Before Reginald VelJohnson was cast as Al Powell, Laurence Fishburne, Wesley Snipes, Gene Hackman, & Robert Duvall were considered for the role. Matty, whenever you start watching Invincible Season 2, pay attention to Principal Winslow. That’s Reginald. Looks just like him too. Winslow is a reference to his most famous role as Carl Winslow on the 80s sitcom Family Matters.

    Fun fact: Bruce Willis, who was mostly known from the TV series Moonlighting, initially turned down the role of John due to contractual obligations to the show. When his costar became pregnant, the show’s production was stopped for 11 weeks, freeing him up to take the role. His casting was also kinda controversial at the time because it wasn’t normal, like it is today, for TV actors to do film or for film actors to do TV.

  • @EvanRC91

    Fun fact: This was Alan Rickman’s film debut. He almost turned down the role of Hans because he didn’t think it was the kind of film he wanted to make.

      Maybe Mel Gibson could have played a similar character but the others can be a bit too serious or too big to play him.

    Die Hard 2, Die Hard with a Vengeance (3), and Live Free and Die Hard (4) are all great movies. I think 4 is underrated so I'd love for you to get to it. So glad you've enjoyed it. Merry Christmas man.

      I still remember the commotion back just before the 4th one's release when Bruce Willis came online to one of the movie forums and spoke with the mods there telling them how good Live Free is going to be. The mod's faces where smiling ear to ear as they were chatting with him.

    Welcome to the party, pal!
    This movie is based on the 1979 novel NOTHING LASTS FOREVER, which was a sequel to the movie, THE DETECTIVE, which starred Frank Sinatra in 1968.

    • @EvanRC91
      @EvanRC91 9 місяців тому +3

      Because of this, the studio was contractually obligated to offer the role of John McClane to him even though he was 70 at the time.

    30:15 What an iconic shot! I love how this is pretty identical to Dumbledore’s fall from the astronomy tower & Alan Rickman was there for both 😏 Makes me wonder if the shot in Half-Blood Prince was an intentional homage to Die Hard or just coincidental.

    Die Hard was a hit at the box office and spawned 4 sequels, none of which were as good as the original imo except the 3rd film Die Hard with a Vengeance. It’s the only one that has the same director as the first. Die Hard would also go on to earn 4 Academy Award nominations for Best Film Editing, Best Visual Effects, Best Sound Effects Editing, & Best Sound.

      I’ve seen it uploaded to UA-cam in its entirety as well so it’s out there, although due to Harvey Weinstein owning the rights you can’t stream it or buy it anywhere…so a reaction is technically possible and yes, he was incredible as the Metatron.

  • @FSquid
    @FSquid 9 місяців тому

    Other lowkey Christmas movies btw: The Long Kiss Goodnight and Eyes Wide Shut. The Long Kiss is VERY much like Die Hard to the point that it I could tell you it was made by the same writers and director and you probably wouldn't know until you looked it up. Eyes Wide Shut is absolutely nothing like Die Hard and is a psychological drama about infidelity and paranoia. It was also Kubrick's last movie before he passed. Probably not the best react content due to all the nudity but it is proper kino.

    Bruce Willis movies: Die Hard 2 is good but not terribly exceptional compared to 1. Die Hard 3 is great fun. The Fifth Element is a classic and a must watch. Lots of fun there. The Sixth Sense is considered a bit of a classic and was M. Night Shyamalan's big breakout movie. 12 Monkeys is really cool, weird and grimy. Armageddon is slick, funny, ridiculous popcorn blockbuster fun.

    I think he realized Hans isnt a hostage when he said Clay and he was on that list. but he was listed as WM, which im pretty sure is waste management. Clay is a janitor. So why is he up here wearing a suit? Thats what I thought at least

    • @adrianhempfing2042
      @adrianhempfing2042 9 місяців тому

      I thought WM was William M(middle initial).
      Often Bill is another name for William.
      So I thought the suspicion was more that he was there randomly.
      But he wasn't sure, gave the unloaded gun just in case, as a test

    It ain’t christmas until Hans Gruber falls from Nakatomi Plaza, baby.
    One of my fave Bruce Willis movies is the Fifth Element (which also stars Mila Jovovitch and Gary Oldman AND has a scene where someone else gets shot at while crawling through ductwork).
    Dogma and Galaxy Quest are the Alan Rickman standouts for me…but you can’t stream Dogma anywhere unless you find a bootleg copy on UA-cam.
