Reginald VelJohnson also played a cop in ghostbusters, and a limo driver in Crocodile Dundee. He’s always wearing a uniform. I like to think he’s always just Carl Winslow. Like whatever happens n the movie, he still has to go home and deal with Urkel.
@@logann7942 Urkel was supposed to have a one episode appearance in Family Matters as the annoying neighbor, but because he was so great and the audience love him in it, they made him a regular character on the show.
Trivia note - Alan Rickman knew that he would be dropped physically for that last scene but the director dropped him early just to record his reaction. The look on Rickman's face as he started falling was 100% genuine shock
The relationship between John and Al in this is so wonderful. They're two men broken in the opposite ways, who are able to help each other heal without even meeting face to face. John has complete faith in his profession, being dedicated to his backlog of cases and job back in New York, and willing to do his job in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds at the Christmas party. His personal life, on the other hand, is a complete disaster, his marriage ruined, his children taken from him, and his faith in his ability to be a husband and father severely shaken. Al is the opposite: a man whose faith in his profession has been destroyed, to the point where he is incapable of pulling his gun and so works what he obviously regards as a meaningless job, jockeying papers across a desk because he can't bring himself to go back on the street. His personal life, however, is going very well. He's obviously happily married, and eagerly anticipating being a father for the first time. Through Al, John is able to give voice to his fears and mistakes, confronting them, and realizing what he needs to do to repair his relationship with his wife. Through John, Al is able to see the value of his profession, and to find courage and meaning once again. God I love this movie. It's so much more than a simple action flick (although it is a GREAT action flick), which I think is why it has stayed so prominent in the public consciousness for years and years, past imitator after imitator.
Cool bit if trivia: This was "Carl Winslow's" first role. He had been struggling to find work as an actor and was ready to give up. No one really supported him except for his mom who told him not to give up. He did an interview about it. I can't remember for sure, but I think she got to see this movie and died not too long after. He said she was proud of him. Another bit of trivia: Alan Rickman had to do the final fall scene stunt himself. They had him in a harness and told him they were going to release it in the count of 3, but they released him sooner. He was already nervous about the stunt. His facial expression wasn't acting. He was legitimately terrified
False. Die Hard may have been the breakthrough role for Reginald VelJohnson, but his first film appearance was actually in Ghostbusters four years earlier.
This was Bruce Willis’ first action/dramatic role. Before this, he was well known as a comedic actor, so seeing him play the lead role as an action hero was jarring for audiences when this movie first came out. The modern equivalent would be Chris Pratt, who played Andy on Parks and Recreation, until he starred in Guardians of the Galaxy and Jurassic World. This was also Alan Rickman’s first movie ever.
@@shannonbrigante5764 We'll see. Medicine is advancing quickly. Next year two US companies are starting human trials in organ regeneration on cellular level. Maybe that or something similar will help Willis.
Fun fact: Alan Rickman (Hans Gruber) agreed to do the fall scene himself when asked by director, John McTiernan, to add authenticity to his death. Rickman was rigged to be dropped backwards onto a crash mat 40 feet below him on the count of "three", however, Die Hard stunt coordinator, Charlie Picerni, devised a plan to drop Rickman at "one" in order to provoke a genuine reaction of shock and terror. And that is the take they went with in the movie.
Fun fact: A blast of C4 travels at 18,000 mph. Good luck running from it. Still a great film. My mother, pacifist as she was, always loved this film for some reason, and it was a Christmas favorite in our house. Weird. 18,000 mph. Process that.
Your feet swell when you fly and then unswell when you land, so yes, a little foot exercise when you land is a good idea. Actually, that’s a good idea just to get some circulation going whether you’ve been flying or not.
Rickman was calling him a cowboy. Willis said he liked Roy Rogers. Roy Rogers did the original yippy ki yay in the 30’s or 40’s. Willis also says “happy trails” which is also a Roy Rogers saying.
"... the whole phrase, yippee-ki-yay? ... seems to be a play on "yippie yi yo kayah," a refrain from a 1930s Bing Crosby song, "I'm An Old Cowhand."" Love this movie and love to see other peoples' reactions. ♥ Beautiful - likely completely spoiled - doggies. Is that an American Bulldog? Die Hard 2 is just as good!!!!!
Dude, your banter is top shelf. Hilarious. 12:40 The stunt preformer was only meant to drop to the next floor. But, [obviously] missed and fell a few extra. Thank goodness for that strong grip. I bet he sh*t a diamond.
You seem to imply he was falling down a real shaft. .. it's on a set and it's two shots. He missed the vent, they kept the footage and merge it with one where he grabs a vent.
@@znk0r Ha Nah, dude. i know it's not a documentary. However, that is interesting. I did not realise that's how they did it. I did think it was a reduced shaft, on a lot. But, at least 4 or 5 floors. I saw a still of the moment before they dropped "Hans", looks high up. So... Thanks. 🙂
people see these older movies and say "could they smoke in the airport back in the day" or "could they smoke in a hospital back in the day." well. back in the day you could smoke any place
Everybody knows Reginald VelJohnson is a cop in this and a cop in Family Matters. Everybody forgets he was a cop in Ghostbusters. The world would be a *fabulous* place if only all cops were Reginald VelJohnson. _sigh_
J, if you ain't seen the Key & Peele Family Matters sketch, look it up. It's a brilliant horror movie in 5 minutes. The line "...and the other little kid" makes me cackle every time.
You could smoke _everywhere_ back in the day. School, airport, actually on the plane, and a doctor would be smoking while they examined your child. I miss the old days.
Damn! I watched a lot of reaction videos, but yours are the funniest. Your dog answering was classic. You will be the first reaction youtuber I subscribe to.
I think my favorite part of your reactions is that you swear constantly even though you know you’re gonna bleep them in post. I would just be lazy and stop swearing, so I appreciate your extra effort in keeping things extra real!
Lol I got a potty mouth. I couldn’t stop swearing if I tried. It’s pretty much has become a guessing game for what Blank (editor) is going to use to bleep my mouth out with
Alan Rickman is awesome. Have you seen Quigley Down Under ? If not that's a must. And to answer your question not only could you smoke in the airport you could smoke on the plane. And I used to work with an airplane mechanic and said when people used to smoke on the plane it was easier to find air leaks in the fuselage. Bcuz the smoke would leave a nicotine stained trail straight to the leak.
My favourite line in this is the helicopter pilot saying to FBI agent Johnson, "I was in Junior High Dickhead!" Proper laugh out loud reaction especially your dog having foot pain memories to share 😂
Just came across your channel today! Absolutely love it!! Been binging your videos all day!! This one is my favorite so far!! Alan Rickman brought Hans to life! ☺️ Keep on keeping on!!
Over the last couple years I've watched about a half dozen reactions to, Die Hard, and yours is my favorite one. You had me cracking up! LOL Thanks. I subscribed.
@@EOMReacts Thanks! You should react to the following, if you haven't already seen them: 1) Star Wars (The Original Trilogy) 2) Gladiator 3) The Naked Gun 4) An American Werewolf In London 5) One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest 6) Rocky (1 through 4) 7) Monty Python and The Holy Grail 8) Superman (1978) 9) Tommy Boy 10) Terminator (1 and 2) 11) Tropic Thunder 12) Ex Machina 13) Dumb and Dumber 14) Jurassic Park (1993) 15) The Shawshank Redemption
I just subscribed. Catching up on older reactions. Wanted to say since you love Alan Rickman, as one should, you gotta see his other great villain role in the film QUIGLEY DOWN UNDER. I think you could appreciate it. It will make you laugh, sit on the edge of your seat, break your heart, get mad, and cheer the hero on. It's a superb film and greatly under appreciated. Keep up the good work, give them dogs an extra scratch behind the ears for me.
That song Argyle plays IS a Christmas song even though it's not really about Christmas. Just like 'Die Hard' is a Christmas movie even though it's not really about Christmas
Christmas in April!? This song is on "John McClane's" mind as he flies from New York to California: ua-cam.com/video/wYHleFFhlFk/v-deo.html Get into Argyle's limousine for the trip to the Nakatomi Building and the Christmas Party From Hell.
The fall reaction at the end was 100% remeber back then no cgi just big Ballon mattresses and well they decided not to tell Rickman he was getting dropped so the look is real scared shitless face
I flew a lot in the 80's and I was never in a flight that you couldn't smoke on. They had a smiling section on the plane (I never understood the logic of that, but I do remember how much I hated getting on planes because they smelled like ashtrays).
I laughed my ass off at that! Got a German Shepherd named Sam that does the same thing! Loves to talk and interrupt me when I’m talking to someone. Damn dog always has to have the last word! LMAO!!
@25:49, this bad guy whupping up on McClane is played by the late Russian ballet great Alexander Godunov. So he is used to doing high kicks 😉In an interview for Die Hard at the time of its release, Bruce Willis was fanboying because he couldn't believe he was in a movie with this internationally famous dude.
I hope that Red and Red 2 are on your list of movies to react to. That’s some badass action and comedy right there. Also, The Expendables franchise. Has all the old school action actors.
My man I just want to say, I recently discovered your ch. and you have quickly became my fav reactor. Your sense of humor and your love of animals makes you the best. I would totally hang with you IRL. Wishing you blessings and abundance of love and success! Much love!
There is a Carl Winslow theory. Reginald played aNY chip in Ghostbusters. After those events he moved to LA to escape the craziness. Then Nakatomi happens. Al winds up going insane and is in a mental hospital where Carl Winslow is him projecting a better life.
FYI - the man who played Karl was one of the premiere ballet dancers from Russian Alexander Godunov. that's likely the reason they made use of him KICKING McClean.
They say Die Hard is one of the best Christmas movies ever lol and the nerdy or smart bad guy terrorist who broke into the vault using his expert computer knowledge is Clarence Gilyard. He costarred in a popular TV show in the mid 90s with Chuck Norris as his partner. That show was/is Called Walker Texas Ranger. (cops in TX...bad ass)
He was also on "Matlock" which I've heard about but never watched, playing private investigator Conrad McMasters in 85 episodes. He passed away to an illness a few years ago 🕊️💛
This is my second favourite movie, as well as favourite Christmas and action movie. I first saw it when i was 11 or 12 when it was first on British tv in the early 90's. One thing i've always hated is the thought of walking on broken glass. I loved your reaction and hope you plan to check out some of the sequels. Also if you haven't watched them i also recommend the Lethal Weapon movies.
@12:35, that is the point - McClane isn't trying to be a hero. He knows he is outnumbered and outgunned. He is a regular ordinary man who just happens to be a police officer. He isn't ex-Special Forces, he isn't a superhero. That is why we root so hard for him. When he sees that help from the outside won't come in time to save his wife and her coworkers, he digs deep and does stuff that he didn't even think he was capable of. I will always love the first Die Hard movie for that reason. After this the movies got more and more outlandish with each release. That's why at the end of this flick, Holly says that she is "Mrs. McClane". She knows he went through hell to save her.
Incase you are wondering the 80's douche bag guy was super super common back then unfortunately. There were a lot of guys exactly like Ellis walking around.
For those interested (probably few but what the hell) in deep Hollywood: Roy Rogers was a brother Mason. In a 40-story building the main action takes place on floors/degrees 30-33. Just down the street (where the police set up shop), well, look at it from Google-Earth and see what you 'see' (around Fairmont Century Plaza & McKinsey & Co). Having been in Hollywood, at high levels, I'm not talkin' trash. This movie is about Ascension. Holly Gennero's namesake is 'holy January'. Ancient deity. The keeper of doors. Ellis is Elohim, the god, to be cast down. It's all very weird how the industry really works. It's like people assuming Hans & co are terrorists, assuming Hollywood are entertainers . . . they have a different agenda.
We both had a hell of a time watching this movie with you. Especially your Carl Winslow moment! We literally clapped out loud when you got it.
I’m glad both of you enjoyed it. Lol I have never been so happy to remember a name in my life.
Reginald VelJohnson also played a cop in ghostbusters, and a limo driver in Crocodile Dundee. He’s always wearing a uniform. I like to think he’s always just Carl Winslow. Like whatever happens n the movie, he still has to go home and deal with Urkel.
I’m catching up on your catalog of reactions after first seeing your Saving Private Ryan… i don’t comment on em all, but you are great man keep it up
Your commentary is point on and cracking me up brother LMFAO😂😂😂👍👍
@@logann7942 Urkel was supposed to have a one episode appearance in Family Matters as the annoying neighbor, but because he was so great and the audience love him in it, they made him a regular character on the show.
Bruce Willis is Harry Potter in this movie. He’s sneaking around a tower at night avoiding Alan Rickman
Trivia note - Alan Rickman knew that he would be dropped physically for that last scene but the director dropped him early just to record his reaction. The look on Rickman's face as he started falling was 100% genuine shock

Lol he had a story to tell
I had to rewind to hear him again…lol!
Me too😂😂😂😂
That shit was funny as hell, man. LMFAO!!!🤣😂🤣

I watch this every Christmas Eve. Nobody cried when Ellis died. Great reaction man. Keep it up!
Glad you enjoyed it. They should have shot him twice lol
“Bush lied, and nobody cried when Ellis died.”
My wife argues with me every Xmas eve that this not an Xmas movie. It truly is. 💯🐐
14:07, "Oh man, that scared the shit out of me!".....imagine how Al Powell felt lol.
“Carl shot Carl” lol
You could smoke on planes back in the day, lol. I remember it well.
There's an expression: "It's not Christmas until Hans Gruber falls from Nakatomi Plaza".

Wait til John steps on the glass.

Oh you could definitely smoke in the airport. Not long before that you could smoke on the plane.
"could you smoke in airports back in the day?"... dude... go back far enough and you were able to smoke on the damn plane!!!
My favorite Christmas movie. Nothing says Christmas until Hans Gruber falls off the Nakatomi building. 🎅🥰

Yes, quite often back then children were allowed a sip, or even a glass of dad's beer.
Argyle are a type of socks
Your dogs! The dude and his bedding keeps me laughing. I enjoy them. Ty
Lol Romulus is a funny dog. He will have you cracking up
Karl didn't so much know karate as he did ballet. That big blonde Viking-looking guy is a ballerina.
Yes you could smoke in airports and hospitals in the 80’s. You could smoke pretty much anywhere except planes.
Yup. They're actually smoking in a hospital in Nightmare on Elm Street
I flew a lot in the 80's and I was never in a flight that you couldn't smoke on. They had a smiling section on the plane (I never understood the logic of that, but I do remember how much I hated getting on planes because they smelled like ashtrays).

You're my favorite! Love your reactions.
It really means the world to hear that. Glad you enjoy, and there's much more on the way!
Thank you so much. It makes me happy knowing that I’m someone’s favorite reactor
I hope that Red and Red 2 are on your list of movies to react to. That’s some badass action and comedy right there.
Also, The Expendables franchise. Has all the old school action actors.
Having a ton of fun watching you react! I've been watching the reacts of movies I remember watching with my father.
Glad you’re enjoying, and we appreciate the support!
Best Christmas movie ever! 🎄
Absolutely.
My man I just want to say, I recently discovered your ch. and you have quickly became my fav reactor. Your sense of humor and your love of animals makes you the best. I would totally hang with you IRL. Wishing you blessings and abundance of love and success! Much love!
We appreciate the kind words and support. Glad to see you’re enjoying.

There is a Carl Winslow theory. Reginald played aNY chip in Ghostbusters. After those events he moved to LA to escape the craziness. Then Nakatomi happens. Al winds up going insane and is in a mental hospital where Carl Winslow is him projecting a better life.
That’s a dope theory
FYI - the man who played Karl was one of the premiere ballet dancers from Russian Alexander Godunov. that's likely the reason they made use of him KICKING McClean.
It explains why his hair was so amazing too
What a fun watch.
Your funny as hell
It's that off the cuff, saying whatever u thinking in the moment, no matter what funny.
Good stuff
🤣🤣🤣 that’s how I am in day to day life
Glad you liked it!
They say Die Hard is one of the best Christmas movies ever lol
and the nerdy or smart bad guy terrorist who broke into the vault using his expert computer knowledge is Clarence Gilyard. He costarred in a popular TV show in the mid 90s with Chuck Norris as his partner. That show was/is Called Walker Texas Ranger. (cops in TX...bad ass)
And they’re not wrong.
He was also on "Matlock" which I've heard about but never watched, playing private investigator Conrad McMasters in 85 episodes.
He passed away to an illness a few years ago 🕊️💛
This is my second favourite movie, as well as favourite Christmas and action movie. I first saw it when i was 11 or 12 when it was first on British tv in the early 90's. One thing i've always hated is the thought of walking on broken glass.
I loved your reaction and hope you plan to check out some of the sequels. Also if you haven't watched them i also recommend the Lethal Weapon movies.
Those are on the list
McClain can't come to the phone right now, he's busy fighting that guy with the perfect hair.
@12:35, that is the point - McClane isn't trying to be a hero. He knows he is outnumbered and outgunned. He is a regular ordinary man who just happens to be a police officer. He isn't ex-Special Forces, he isn't a superhero. That is why we root so hard for him.
When he sees that help from the outside won't come in time to save his wife and her coworkers, he digs deep and does stuff that he didn't even think he was capable of. I will always love the first Die Hard movie for that reason. After this the movies got more and more outlandish with each release.
That's why at the end of this flick, Holly says that she is "Mrs. McClane". She knows he went through hell to save her.
If you like Alan Rickman, “Truly, Madly, Deeply” is a great movie. Very young Rickman
Incase you are wondering the 80's douche bag guy was super super common back then unfortunately. There were a lot of guys exactly like Ellis walking around.
2:09 Hell, back in the day you could smoke on the goddam plane!
“The Fifth Element”
🔥
Unfortunately I’ve already seen the fifth element
For those interested (probably few but what the hell) in deep Hollywood: Roy Rogers was a brother Mason. In a 40-story building the main action takes place on floors/degrees 30-33. Just down the street (where the police set up shop), well, look at it from Google-Earth and see what you 'see' (around Fairmont Century Plaza & McKinsey & Co). Having been in Hollywood, at high levels, I'm not talkin' trash. This movie is about Ascension. Holly Gennero's namesake is 'holy January'. Ancient deity. The keeper of doors. Ellis is Elohim, the god, to be cast down. It's all very weird how the industry really works. It's like people assuming Hans & co are terrorists, assuming Hollywood are entertainers . . . they have a different agenda.
15:32 🤣🤣 awesome reaction bro
I swear I thought my homeboy made that up
