There are two kinds of people: Those who think Die Hard is a Christmas movie and those who are wrong.
-
Drinker: "You don't have to take your gun everywhere." Texans: [HYSTERICAL LAUGHING]
-
"You're a policeman, there are rules for policemen." "Yeah...that's what my captain keeps telling me."
-
You forgot "Home Alone" which is "Die Hard" for children.
-
The wife's name is Holly, more proof it's a Christmas movie.
-
God bless Alan Rickman.
-
I’m watching this wearing a T-shirt that says, “It’s not Christmas until Hans Gruber falls from Nakatomi Plaza”, with the image of Hans’ face looking up as he plummets. Well done Critical Drinker!
-
"It's Christmas time theo,it is a time for miracles " "You asked for miracles theo, I give you the F B I " -Hans Gruber Alan Rickman as Hans made this movie imo.
-
“Don’t have to take your gun everywhere”. Spoken like a true European.
-
“If this movie had been made in 2020, he’d have taken her name!” No Drinker, if this movie had been made in 2020, she’d have taken his gun and killed all the terrorists herself, while John McClain wallowed in a corner, learning valuable life lessons about “Respecting Wahmen” and “Ending Patriarchy”.
-
"I'm agent Johnson, this is special agent Johnson...no relation" One of the funniest one liners in the entire movie, or any movie given its visual obviousness. Pure and utter class from start to finish.
-
An action movie from times when average IQ was still triple digit.
-
"Director John McTiernan asked Rickman to fall backwards onto an airbag from a height of 25 feet on the count of three. Sounds easy enough, until the stunt crew decided to drop him on “one” instead, to make his reaction more genuinely believable. So that explains why Hans Gruber’s expression is quite so priceless."
-
Ah yes, pre-9/11 air travel: "Sir, will you please leave your gun behind before boarding the plane?" "No." "Okay, have a nice trip."
-
American police officers usually do carry their guns everywhere even when off-duty. While they usually aren't allowed to carry on planes in the modern world, they were in the pre-9/11 era.
-
Hans isn’t actually a pushover. Don’t forget he physically restrains Karl after his brother is killed. Rickman nailed his part.
-
A Salute to John McTiernan who made Predator and Die Hard back to back. 2 of the best Action Movies ever made.
-
The first 10 minutes of Die Hard is a directing masterclass in Show don’t Tell. From revealing McClane’s gun to Holly’s name on the touchscreen, it’s so slickly put together.
-
For me, Alan Rickman stole the show. Hans Grüber was - and remains - the most well drawn “bad guy” in any action thriller I’ve seen.
