Before I get into this reaction, and I don’t mean to piss anyone off here: the guy who wrote the screenplay, Jeb Stuart, said he wrote it as a Christmas movie. When the guy who writes the movie (and I know it’s based on a novel, but very loosely) says he meant it to be something, we should probably defer to him.

Zuff is me asking all these questions after they answered it right before 😭💀

First off, Hans was robbing the vault of "bearer bonds" meaning that the bonds are not signed over to any particular individual or corporate entity, they literally belong to the bearer, or whoever has possession of them, like ash. The other thing is I think the plan was to blow the roof when all the hostages and helicopters were there so that there were no survivors. the police would have had to identify all the bodies to account for everyone before they realized that the "terrorists" were not among them (and since DNA identification wasn't a thing when this came out, with most of the bodies vaporized most would never be identified and the "terrorists" assumed dead). By then, they would have slipped their ambulance in among all the other emergency vehicles and drove away in all the confusion unnoticed.

Btw, the director secretly told them to drop Hans earlier than he was expecting- hence the realistic shock on his face as he dropped. 🤣😭

I like to refer to Hans' fall as "death by Rolex" since the watch was either caught on his jacket or Hans had a finger slipped under the band when he dragged Holly toward the window.😁 Also, if you didn't already know, the director "officially" instructed the fall count as three but secretly told the holder drop Alan on two; and that is how you get the amazing look of surprise when he falls! 😉

27:30 ish; "Yippy, Kah, Yay" is what another famous cowboy, Roy Rogers whom John was quoting, (from the John Wayne movie start era) says in his TV show.

Who hasn’t seen Die Hard?! I’m shooketh.

The Roy Rogers show was a Western TV series in the 1950s when Bruce Willis's character was a kid and would have picked up many of the phrases including Yippee Ki-yay and the signature song Happy Trails.

When this film came out, us film goers only knew Bruce Willis as a comedy romantic lead - so the Director left his face off the poster - in case it put people off seeing Bruce as an action lead, but when it started to do so well, his face was added to the poster!

35:33 Before they kill Ellis they bring him a can of Coke & pour it for him. It's suggested they asked him if they could get him anything & he said yes, some coke. That wasn't the coke he was looking for.

Funny story about Hans falling, the director told Alan that he was going to count to 3 then drop him and he counted like 1 and dropped him, thats why his look was so real with surprise.

The first posters for this movie didn’t have Bruce Willis’s picture on it cause at the time he was known for comedy not action and they didn’t want people thinking it was a comedy (which it’s kind of an action/comedy). It’s surprising how much control Bruce had on this film. He got to choose the actress playing his wife and how John should act. The list of people that they wanted to play John McClain is interesting. They wanted John Travolta to play McClain but Fox said no cause they figured he was a “has been”. Alan Rickman almost passed this movie up. He barely got to Hollywood and wasn’t sure about his first role being a villain but it turned out to be the best idea. 13:48 when Karl hands Theo the dollar bill was improvised by the actor thinking the guys would’ve had a bet on if Hans would’ve shot the guy. 22:05 originally he was supposed to hit the first vent but the stuntman messed up and didn’t grab the first one so they kept it in and edited in John grabbing the second vent. 33:44 when Ellis says “Hans…Bubby” Alan Rickman’s expression was real cause Hart Bochner ad-limbed the line and threw Alan off a bit. It’s also thought when they give Ellis a glass of coke is because the misunderstood him when he asked for some “coke”. 36:23 at least Ellis did one smart thing before he died. He said John was his guest and not there for Holly. 39:02 the way Hans holds his cigarette is apparently how Europeans hold their cigarettes which was supposed to be how John realized who he was. 55:39 I love how they bring back the watch that Ellis gave her. The look on Alan Rickman’s face is real the director told Alan that they’d drop him on the count of three. They dropped him 40 feet onto an airbag with a blue screen backing 58:40 that’s funny you said that they have a “Die Hard” advent calendar where each day Hans gets closer to falling to his death.

I love the "Dude, did you just now start watching the movie!" Hw spends 5 minutes of the movie asking for spoilers Jeez-uss!!

Die Hard created an entire genre that became the template for countless other imitators that followed. Bruce Willis never bettered this portrayal of John McClane in any other Die Hard films. Alan Rickman was phenomenal in the role of Hans Gruber bringing an intelligence to the role. The Christmas ingredients throughout coupled with the right balance of action, drama and comedy make this film timeless.

I just want to say i really appreciate the amount of content you put out, you’re my comfort channel for sure. Love getting to just chill and watch with you guys 💕 happy holidays and keep it up

Alan Rickman is afraid of heights. The producers let him drop a few seconds too early to get that scared look on his face

I've watched the Se7en reaction, and was blown away by Zuff's understanding of the movie and in predicting certain elements...but here at the start of Die Hard, he has trouble understanding the dynamic between John and Holly, even though it was explained clearly in exposition. Kinda of an insight into Zuff's inner workings. Also, my heart breaks each time when the first thing they think of is of Snape when it comes to Alan Rickman :( 17:48 "You have to be super qualified to be a cop". My poor innocent Zuff.

55:55 - Alan Rickman actually fell onto a "green screen" tarp in this scene. He actually did his own stunt. Director John McTiernan told Alan he was going to drop him on a count of THREE. He actually released him on a count of ONE. The surprised look on Rickman's face was authentic. He was not happy about being surprised, but the shot was worth it in the end. R.I.P. Alan Rickman.

I can’t believe Zuff (Zach) and Bryce have not watched this movie! It’s a classic! I remember watching it for the first time with my Mom a couple years back and I had a blast! Love the reactions. 😊

But neither of them wants their relationship to be at an end, which is why she invited him to the Christmas party and he obviously said 'I'll be there if I can', which is why she isn't sure that he will turn up when she calls her babysitter.

Roy Roger made Yippee-ki-yay famous back in the 50's.

No... this movie didnt come up with Yippie Ki Yay... all this did was ad Morherfucker to it... After Hans says hes an American who wants to be John Wayne... John says "I was partial to Roy Rogers actually"... Roy Rogers was "The Singing Cowboy"... and he had a famous song where he sings Yippie Ki Yay. In the 90s Nickelodon had a cowboy sitcom called Hey Dude.. that used it in its theme song, though theirs is "Yippie ti yie yay... Like the Cowboys Say"

Omg lol knew your guys were younger but not to recognize the cop as the dad from family matters just cements y’all young.

Watched this movie millions of times but never get tired of it. I noticed no reactors are doing Planet of the Apes with Marc Wahlburg or Toy Soldiers with Sean Astin.

BTW, the look on Alan Rickman’s face when he drops off the building is genuine. They dangled him above an air bag (not as high as it looks), and then told them they would drop him on “3.” I believe they dropped him on “1.” 😄

Yippee ki yay is an expression said in the old westerns from the 50's starring Roy Rogers. That's why McLane told the others to call him Roy, as he was perceived as a cowboy by Hans.

Now! It's Christmas 🎄🎁

Thanks, Zuff! Thanks, Rob! Thanks, Bryce! 💥 John McTiernan directed this one. ෴ To clarify the conjecture Rob made; indeed "yippee ki-yay mutha fucka" originated in this movie... but "yippee" is from the 15th century. And "yippee ki-yay" is likely a derivation of "yippee yi yo ki-ay" which was a lyric in a song from the 1940s called "I'm An Old Cowhand" and was used in a movie. You can hear it sung by Roy Rogers on KZread. That's probably where the character of 'John McClane' heard it from. He seems the sort to like flicks about the Old West.

It would not have been difficult to cash in the bonds because they were *bearer* bonds. These bonds are unregistered, and therefore belong to the whoever *bears* the paper instrument. Hans would just need to present the paper to the issuer on the maturity date and get cash or have money transferred to whatever account he wanted with no questions asked because he had the bond paper in hand. They helped people invest anonymously, but they also were good ways to evade taxes or launder money, and they were convenient things to forge. I don't know if any companies still issue them, but no government entity in the U.S. issues them anymore for those very reasons.

Why sre they separated. He and Argyle were literally just talking about why they split. Because she got an offer and he was unwilling to move.

Die Hard is just as much a Christmas movie as The Holiday
