Holly's line "It's the 90s" and the sentiment that is echoed throughout, became something of a meme in the days before social media, and still sometimes heard today. Whenever someone is surprised by new technology, I always like to say "Hey, it's the 90s!", or even "Wake up and smell the 90s" for added comic effect.

@@OfficialMediaKnights Another thing about the action movies of the 90's, I say that because they called attention to the brutal deaths, and I think that happened because of the influence of director Paul Verhoeven, he is not the director of Die Hard 2, but Robocop and Total Recall, but his influence was noticed in the early 90's in other directors of action movies, you will notice how the movies of that time were very violent too, besides Die Hard 2, like Predator 2, Robocop 2, Cliffhanger, The Rock, have explicitly violent scenes, and it was rare in big studio movies, then a few years later they were lowering the level of violence, so that the films were more suitable for all audiences, otherwise money was lost if they were banned for over 16 or 18 years.

Little to like about the guy, which is the point.

A few thoughts... I used to work in the mailroom at the headquarters of a major bank. We had a metal detector just like they use at airports (looking for explosives or other bad stuff people might send to banks in the mail)... during training they showed us the scene from this movie where McClean says a ceramic gun won't set off metal detectors. The instructor said the machines don't look for METAL, they show different DENSITIES, so it doesn't matter if it's steel, ceramic, or plastic, if it's dense enough to be a gun, it'll show up. Die Hard is a Christmas Movie. Die Hard 2 is not. I can't explain it. William Sadler is such a good actor. One of those guys who's been in EVERYTHING and he's always good. Great video. Thanks guys. And Merry Christmas!

Totally recommend Red and Red 2 if you haven’t watched them. Very fun and underrated Bruce Willis action movies

Minor facts. The actor that plays Cpt. Lorenzo was Chicago PD then went to Hill St. Blues. The Airport Manager was in Hunt For Red October, then became a US Senator from Tennessee.

13:45 You might not have gotten this, but when he says "Just the fax, ma'am", it was a reference to the 1960's tv cop show "Dragnet". The main character, Detective/Sgt. Joe Friday, was known for saying variations of the phrase "Just the facts, ma'am/sir" when a witness would ramble irrelevant information or opinions. The phrase made its way into pop culture and parody.

The guy in charge of the tower that actually listened to John is actually Senator Fred Thompson in real life. I believe he passed a few years ago.

This was the best reaction, mainly because I've never watched it with someone translating the german in real time, it's a nice addition lol thank you Denise 😎

Oh yup! The deaths in this kept escalating 😂

For most of you who have never used a fax machine, he took the fingerprints without a hard surface under the paper then faxed it to Al in L.A. At best, it would be a page with black circles on it, not clear enough to ID the guy.

To make a point, John often seems to get no cooperation because of jurisdictional differences. In the first one he was a cp from NY in LA, and in this one it's reversed (which makes no sense for Holly to be flying in to see him in NY if he was an LAPD cop), plus you have Airport Police plus the FAA, and the military involved. John has no authority or input in the matter, so the remarks about no civilians in the tower would be realistic. Most people don't notice the blue and red tape around the magazines. Die Hard was a Christmas movie because it takes place at an office Christmas party.

*Artistic license, firearm operation:* If you fire blank rounds out of a fully automatic or semi-automatic weapon without a blank adaptor, you have to manually recycle each time you fire. Because without a bullet traveling down the barrel, all the gas is ejected through the muzzle, none will go through the gas tube to push the bolt back automatically. So when all the characters were rock and rolling with their submachine guns, that was pure Hollywood. If it was real, they would have had to pull back the charging handle manually each time a round was fired. (Either that, or have blank adaptors on their muzzles, but then there would be no way they could convince anybody they were firing live rounds!)

Die Hard is without a doubt a Christmas film, which makes Die Hard 2 even MORE of a Christmas movie……..’What the hell……it’s Christmas!!’ And big props to William Sadler…….just compare his performance as Colonel Stewart to the character he plays in The Shawshank Redemption.

You guys remind me of my own lighting setup from the 2007's and so forth. Glowing warmth with no headaches.

One of my favorite lines in this movie "McClean! You're just the wrong guy, at the wrong place, at the wrong time" "Story of my life" lol

Cant wait for you guys to see die hard with avengance with samuel l jackson, it's one of my favorite action movies of all time.

@@OfficialMediaKnights understanding movie writeing, without giving anything away, the story and plot is easily the BEST.👍

The look that he gives when the plane crashes, saying "We got you", is the same look that Maria from Silent Hill gives to James when she tells him "I'm not you Mary". It's just creepy, and it makes you feel uncomfortable, because there's nothing there behind those eyes.

If you ever want to see Alan Rickman using some comical chops try "Dogma" by Director Kevin Smith❤❤😂😂

Fun fact: Die Hard and Lethal Weapon series has the same producer/creator Joel Silver. And Bruce's The Last Boy Scout, all legendray true to the core - in case of Die Hard this only true for the first 2 and the different, but more amazing 3. part - something was in the 80's and the 90' what is missing from today.

21:12 The pilot is O'Brien from DS9 😂

Bruce Willis already publicly said Die Hard is a Christmas movie, so that’s good enough. Also, don’t let Die Hard 2 discourage you from Die Hard 3, as it’s always a second favorite with everyone in the entire franchise.

The last boy scout- Bruce Willis , could be a good one for you to do 🙂 Nice reaction guys 👍👍

Now you guys gotta watch Die Hard 3. It's my personal favorite of the original trilogy, and really a stunning action film.

As retired Air force, I'm sorry to tell you John would have died inside that C-130 cargo plane. First of all, hand grenades only have a 4 second fuse. and secondly cargo planes don't have ejection seats. KABOOM!

William Sadler (Col. Stuart) went from being a ruthless Colonel in this film to picking up petrified horse s@#$ in The Shawshank Redemption. And did both well.

Also the most devious ruthless spy Starfleet ever had.

You have the BEST reaction vids on YT, hands down!

This is one of the best action movies I ever watched since Die Hard! And yes I consider Die Hard 2 a Christmas movie. Merry Christmas! 🎄🎁🎅🏻

I love this movie so much. Even with this flaw at the end with the fuel. It would not ignite, no trail and no explosion. But, only nerd airplanes lovers would know it. This is a hell of a fun movie. I always watch, It is so satisfying him being right all the time.

@31:37 Major clue as to Grant’s true intentions. He quickly grabbed the piece of paper and said that they have positive I.D. on Stuart’s location without taking any time to verify that information with Lorenzo.

The scene of the fight at the airport in the snow was filmed across the street from my alternative high school in Central Washington. And yes, it was really snowing then. The day before we saw the crew set up for the night shoots. Faculty wouldn't let us go across to get a good shot of anyone famous, so we just watched from our building.

Seriously, BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER!! If it wasnt a Christmas movie why do they play them during Christmas every year

Ironic, the flight attendant in the Windsor Air flight (the first plane to crash) was Amanda Hillwood who played the coroner in Inspector Morse the year before.

The most troubling thing about this movie to me is how we're supposed to be all celebratory and full of the Christmas spirit at the end, even as the dead bodies of hundreds of passengers still lie in the flaming wreckage of the crashed plane. In truth, that event would cast a pall over everything that followed, one which would remain raw and unresolved at the end. What's more, how did a plane whose fuel tank was supposed to be "bone dry" go up in such an incredible conflagration?

Oh man…that got dark. But yes if this was real life then that moment would’ve changed the tone of the day significantly. And 2 this one is very over the top. Some movies are better just enjoying because if you think too hard about it you won’t be able to enjoy much about it. We realized immediately when we noticed they weren’t just rerouting the planes to a different airport. That is what would’ve happened in real life and none of these events would’ve unfolded 😂 but that is not as cool as seeing the movie play out

That is where the expression "suspension of disbelief" comes from... it's a fictional movie. You accept certain unbelievable scenes for the sake of the narrative.

​@@NoKoolAidForMe Yes, but if the script relies too much on the viewers' willing suspension of disbelief, it's sloppy storytelling. Would we have been as lighthearted at the end of the first "Die Hard" if half the Nakatomi hostages had been horribly killed?

Bruce saying "Just the facts maam" was a tip for Jack Webb in Dragnet. A very good old TV show.
