    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.

      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.

    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.

      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.

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

      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.

      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.

    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.

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!

    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 ❤️

    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.

    Yippie ki-yay was an exclamation of joy used by cowboys in the old American west. Since Hans called Mclane John Wayne, an actor famous for portraying cowboys, Mclane responded like a cowboy with yippie ki-yay.

    Die Hard was originally going to be an Arnold Schwarzenegger film. The first versions of the script were written as a sequel to his film Commando, but Arnold turned down the role because he wanted to make less action films and make more comedies instead. Sylvester Stallone also turned down the role, and so it went to Bruce Willis instead.

  • @OneTrueScotsman
    @OneTrueScotsman Рік тому +8

    It's largely forgotten about now, but when they cast Willis as John Mcclain, they broke a lot of unwritten rules about the type of actor they use to play action heros in Hollywood at the time. Bruce Willis wasn't Arnold or Stallone. He was previously mostly known for playing a cheesy guy in a soap opera.
    A lot of fans of this type of movie were very skeptical about BW being in the movie, in the beginning, but he did such a good job, that he changed a lot of people's minds. And made it easier for other actors bult more like him to play these sorts of roles.

    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. 🤣🤣🤣

    Moonlighting with Bruce Willis and Cybil Shepherd (Betsy from Taxi Driver) had been on TV a while when I saw the ads on TV for this film in 88. I remember thinking oh he's doing an action film now, not knowing how huge this would become and his movie career began from there.
    The building was the Fox headquarters and it's still there.

    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.

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!

    31:50 Actions do speak louder than words. No question. _And yet_ actions aren't the same as words. Sometimes the words still need to be said.
    I mean, he said it himself: "She's heard me say 'I love you' a thousand times but she's never heard me say, 'I'm sorry.'" Hannah's not crazy for pointing out that John still needs to apologize. Accountability, mate! Even saving someone's life is not the same as owning your past actions and taking responsibility for them.

But watching your reaction and listening to your comments on it made me realize that there is more to this Christmas argument than that it was simply set on Christmas Eve. I realize now that Christmas was its central theme and that there are hidden allusions to the holiday peppered throughout.
    So thanks for the enlightenment. I still wouldn't call it a Christmas movie. But it is definitely a Christmas themed movie.
