Best thing about DH2 is that the edited version for TV has him say "Yippee ki yay, Mr. Falcon!"

I watch Die Hard 1 & 2 every year at Christmas as they are both Christmas films and they honestly never get old. The 80's/90's definitely had the best action films. I also love die hard 3 ( with a vengeance).

How this movie is similar yet different to Die Hard 1 is the sense of isolation. In Die Hard 1, John McClain spends the first half of the movie just trying to get help, and even then he’s alone in that tower. He’s got no one with him except his enemies, he has to do this himself. In Die Hard 2, John starts off with a lot of potential help, but no one’s on his side. So, he works on his own. It’s not until a good portion in that the airport cops and army guys follow him, but even before he had people to back him up most of the time. Until the plot twist. Suddenly that back up is stripped from him as he realizes the army guys are in cahoots with the terrorists. That’s when John realizes he needs to do this himself, that’s when that sense of isolation comes back, and that’s when John McClain is at his best.

mcclane managed to fall off the plane and land right at the beginning of the gasoline trail which btw happened to leak in a straight line instead of a spray.. that's amazing..

These movies are so much better when you don't think about it....

Still better than A Good Day to Die Hard.

Here's a couple more. John's on the east coast but the payphone he uses when talking to Holly says "Pacific Bell". With the HUGE explosion of a 747 on a runway, how is it possible that none of the passengers at the airport or anybody living within 20 miles saw the huge fireball and reported it. The panic at the airport should have happened much sooner.

It's actually the first time I notice the TV during Stuart's naked stretching shows him and Esperanza together lol

Remember the video game adaptation... **Blows up 20 innocent civillians** Bruce Willis: Sorry pal.

The bad guy killing his henchmen trope is called a "kill the cat" moment. It basically exists to demonstrate just how evil your main villain is and/or how far he's willing to go to accomplish his goal.

Such a shame they can’t make good movies like this one anymore. Been a long time since a really entertaining action movie has been released. Amazing how the 80’s and 90’s were best times for movies.

I loved the first 3 movies. These were made during a time when action movies were purposefully made to be tongue-in-cheek, while everyone looked serious.

The one thing that seemed to be left out is that the entire enemy plan was based - at least 2 months in advance - on the assumption that the NoVA area would have a snowstorm so big that it would shut down all the airports that the planes landing near Dulles could be diverted to. I mean, since 1888 there's only been 13 "White Christmases" in NoVA - if there had been no snow, if the weather had been warm, then the planes would all just be diverted to another airport with little concern... I can't believe the enemy made all their plans with the idea that the planes would all be shut down because of a snow storm... What if it didn't snow?

You sinned the guy in the church with snacks but not the absolute bullshit John McLean spews about Glock handguns being undetectable by metal detectors? WTF guys...

another sin should be that there are several airports (Baltimore, Reagan, Charlotte, Richmond, etc) that the planes could have went to rather than circle Dulles until the fuel almost runs out.

there's about 100 more sins to add: - unrealistis ATC terminology. they could have found some atc controller that would give them pointers for few hundred bucks... - also, airports (tower) ATC is only for landings (sometimes approach) - there are billion ways that they could have contacted those planes - there is a scene where Dick looks throughout the window and sees a plane way too close, a bit below going in opposite direction - if each plane goes like 200 knots (its almost like minimal speed), that be 400 knots difference - would flyby so fast one another.... - that "traffic jam" in the air would suggest like there's thousands of planes above Dulles and yet the end scene shows like 5 planes only.... - cargo planes do not have eject seats - mcclane would die by crashing his head into overhead panels - guy gets sucked into a jet engine, gets crushed and yet the engine still works with no damage - plane landing on low fuel is not a cause for crash (brace) positions - in fact it should be easier to land the plane with less fuel coz it'd be lighter - why the emergency evacutions of undammaged, fully functional just low on fuel planes, and in the middle of the runway never the less???? i loved Die Hard (1), but this sequel is like a low budget parody. Part 3 is much better, but then again, parts 4 and 5 suck donkey balls, just as this one.

"Jim never has a second cup of coffee at home!" HA!

6:22 actually, Jeremy, lead is a non-ferrous metal and is just about as llikely to set off a metal detector as the shit in his brain. I hate to be THAT guy, but nitpicky assholes like to nitpick the things other nitpicky assholes say. So I guess I don't hate to be that guy after all.

I immediately lost it when: “:...one plastic dummy with with many years of scaffolding collapsing experience...” that was beyond hilarious!!!

Very well done...by the way, that Captain of the L-1011 was quite prepared...aTriStar has 3 engines, but he brought 4 throttle controls with him. Also, there is a quick shot of the forward cabin where the Flight Attendant escorts Dicky to his new seat. Look fast, for there is a spiral staircase going to the non- existent upper deck. No wonder the Captain was pushing 4 throttle levers...

What, no complaints about how they had planes circling Dulles for an hour and not one of them thought to divert to Reagan, five minutes away?

You missed the "glock 7", you know the all-porcelain gun made in germany... costs a months salary...

At about 6:00 in, when the captain is listing the 7 FAA regulations and 5 District of Columbia regulations that John broke... Dulles is not in the District of Columbia.

11:30 since the first jets, all aircraft had what was known as a ground proximity radar. It usually gave 2500ft warning silently, and below 1000 feet you would start to hear it scream at you telling you to pull up. Plenty of warning.

Somehow in this movie nearly all the sins are what makes me love it.

If I ever met William Atherton, I would thank him for his wonderful work as an 80s/90s villain, particularly in "Real Genius".

+1000 sins for Robert Patrick not saying "have you seen this boy" once in the whole movie

For a plane with zero fuel left, it created one hell of an explosion.

Die Hard 2 aka the ultimate "O'Brien Must Suffer" episode of Star Trek.

Don't care what anyone says, this has the best Yippe-Ki-Yay moment, hands down.

Overheard from two pilots having a conversation about the movie when it came out: The air traffic controllers would have rerouted to BWI.

The Die Hard movies are some of my favorite movies but I have to say you guys saw the same things I saw and your videos are very entertaining! Keep it up I laughed too much this morning 😂

There are two kinds of people: those who think Die Hard is a Christmas movie and those who are wrong.

AND being a Commo Guy MYSELF, I can say that: *_You NEVER say "REPEAT" over the radio" because that's reserved for airstrikes ONLY! Instead, you say: "I SAY AGAIN"!_*

"DYN-O-MITE! Get ready for some good times!" killed me lol

Is the drug lord the Dosequis most interesting man in the world? "I don't always fly planes in blizzards, but when I do, I shoot the pilot and windshield first."

For me, Die Hard 2 is one of only a handful of movie sequels that is actually any good.

yippee ki-yay mr. falcon!

All valid points and I always ask myself many of these questions too whenever I watch this movie. Gotta admit when McClane opened fire at Lorenzo, the fact other cops were there just aiming at McClane and not shooting the maniac is the craziest thing in the entire film. Heck, you gotta love this movie anyway, it's just too much fun.

If I'm not mistaken, there are many airports close to Dulles where those planes can divert to which should render Stuart's terror plot invalid even before he executes it.

Seeing as this is your last upload in 2016, happy new year Cinemasins! :D

nobody better send this to Jake Peralta.

Here is something you missed. We are led to believe that the circling planes for whatever reason can't use the British Airways plane going up in a fireball as a guide to landing (what, they didn't see the massive orange fireball in the dark??). Yet when Col. Stuart's 747 goes up in a fireball, every plane circling Dulles can see Holly's plane use it and also uses it as their guide.

"Recalibrate sea level!" - "Ok boss... this might take some time" (leaves the SUV running)

Can we get suicide squad yet? I know it's a lot of sins, but soon would be nice.

you sir are a genius. to be able to be so critical of any movie you watch and make it so comical is seriously genius. I've enjoyed your work now for years now and I honestly am so impressed by how good you are at this. basically just wanna say great job man, you are something else 👌👍

You missed a few that have bugged me since day one. -Though you mentioned it in passing, the grenades took over 28 seconds to explode. An enemy would have time to FedEx them back to you...even during Christmas rush. -Their MP5's work by blowback action. Gas trapped behind a fired bullet, moving down the barrel, helps re-cock the weapon for the next shot. If you're firing blanks(revolvers obviously excepted) you need a Blank Firing Attachment fixed at the end of the barrel, to partially trap the gasses, so the weapon can properly cycle the blanks(Hollywood hides them in the barrel). Without one you will only fire one shot. If you try to fire live ammo with a BFA in place, you, and everyone around you, are going to be very sorry. So no BFAs seen, no BFAs being surreptitiously removed, means all those festive blue and red mags(a key plot point) wouldn't have worked as they needed them to. -Normally, there is no rope installed on top of a 747 wing at the leading edge, but one is seen clearly when McClane jumps from the helicopter. -No fuel dump lever installed on pylon. To what end? Refuelers can empty tanks through the same system they use to fuel the aircraft and pilots can dump fuel while still in the cockpit. They rarely crawl out to the engines while in flight...even with that mysterious rope. - you cannot see anyone on the wing, near the fuselage, while looking over your shoulder, seated in the cockpit, even the wingtip is a stretch. -Fuselage doors are meant to lock into their surrounding structure to withstand the internal pressure at altitude and to transfer structural loads while in flight. Their edges are all locking mechanisms, not the smooth white plastic depicted in the film. The over wing door looks like it was carved out of 8" thick Styrofoam and would be just about as useful. More like a cheap set you'd find in a HS production of DH2 The Musical rather than a big budget flick.

I'm sick with the flu. The rain is coming. It's dreary out. I'm in bed. I needed this.

Uh, that "Homeless guy" is the janitor. * ding *

Almost forgot that William Saddler was the Grim Reaper in Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey!

I think a sin should have been removed for this being the first action movie I can think of where a bullet fired through a plane didn’t create a magical explosive decompression sucking vortex. Also, how’d you miss the Glock 7?

How could you NOT sync "Beat it" with the group of bad guys leaving their hotel rooms? That was a match made in heaven.

NOOOOOO, this movie is sinless, it's perfect and pure! At least that's how it seemed to 10-year-old myself.

um you didn't sin the fact that, that the plane is not fitted with an ejector seat in real life.. still love the movie though.

The nude work out scene was the actor’s choice. He just did it and the director essentially said ... “I like it”. Also, my first flight ever was out of Dulles. In 1992, and as a kid I was able to see the control tower, the cockpit, IN FLIGHT, and when my father worked in DC he went on quite the business trip, and I got to see the Concord land there. As well as the plane they typically used for Air Force One (which is not called that unless the President is on board). Also it was the first 747 I ever saw. Never been lucky enough to fly on one or an A380 either. A3-something for my 4 international flights. Also I love the Die Hard series except the PG-13 one. And I love McClain’s M9 great gun!!! And hey even Robert Patrick had to get his start somewhere... I can’t wait to hear what you have to say about the blanks.

Great video as always. I have always loved these movies. What I love more, when they were coming up with ideas for the last one, one of the exec's suggested that they have it in a skyscraper. Cause no one has done that yet.

What sucks is after John saves his wife twice she still divorces him.

Wo wo hey hey hey, slow down there. That DH2 is at christmas again is definitely NOT a sin - it is the reason why we have at least 1 good Christmas-movie :)

Fun fact: Siskel & Ebert actually considered DH2 to be the best in the franchise. Roger didn't even like the original, while Gene ranked this sequel as the 6th best film of 1990 above the likes of Dances with Wolves and Godfather 3.

Who else remembers "Yippee ki yay, Mr. Falcon"?

Do an EWW for Cliffhanger!!!!! Great movie, but a TON of sins!!

Couple of things you missed. 1. The payphones John McClain uses at Dulles Airport have Pacific Bell logos on them. 2. There would never be that type of action allowed at a civilian Airport. The foreign military plane would have been landed at Andrews Air Force Base. Also, the plane was coming from somewhere in South America, why wouldn't they land the plane at Homestead Air Force in Florida why would they go through to Washington and fly into a massive snowstorm? Dumb planning! 3. We see the terrorists crash a jetliner we are told twice is low on fuel. If it is so low on fuel why does it explode in a massive Fireball? 4. There is no such thing as an ejection seat on a cargo plane or any pressurized aircraft. Only canopy fighter jets have ejector seats. 5. Airport runways never have tunnels running underneath them, when you have aircraft away half a million pounds slamming on to them at over a hundred miles an hour you want nothing but solid underneath.

Always finds human sized HVAC ducting that's strong enough to support a human, that's not insulated has no screws, stick pens or dampers. Then the good guy comes up to the slow running massive fan, that speeds up just in time for the bad guy to fall/get sucked into it. It can easily grind the bad guy into pink mist but can be stopped by the good guy with a belt/shoe/conveniently placed 2x4.

Why didn't sin the fact the movie was literally called Die Hard 2: Die Harder?

1:31 *_IT'S HIIIIIIGH NOOO-_* I'll show myself out.

As far as the naked Tai chi, it was the actors idea, he said it would make the scene more unsettling aaaaand he was right

Now I understand where the idea for this channel came from and why you were forced, and now willingly are, just sin "whatever". I really don't remember die-hard/2 being this, well bad, but here it is in all its glory. I was barely 3 and of course, saw it later. It seemed like a pretty damned good movie to me. Nope, you didn't ruin it for me. It's just interesting the inconsistencies when I actually sit down and think about it. Not just through your short clips(through the movie as well... is that a sin because I had to say it... haha). It's really quite amusing actually.

Wow, thanks to you every time I watch a movie I think in my head," roll credits" and," scene does not contain lap dance." One time I even whispered it under my breath, and my sister sitting next to me said," what?"

watched it in class, cause my teacher is a very big kid

Half this movie I'm yelling at the tv that there are dozens of perfectly good planes with perfectly good radio sets sitting right outside the damned building. Nobody really thought about the plot of this movie having to make sense before they decided to make it.

Also, the payphone John uses is a Pacific Bell when he's supposed to be at Dulles!!

Been going through your videos (again), your lack of a sin video for “Airplane” is worthy of a sin. *ding*

Can you please do “Die Hard with a Vengeance” and “Live Free or Die Hard?”

There’s a scene where Mcclane makes a call on a pay phone in Dulles and the sign on the phone reads “Pacific Bell” as opposed to “C&P Telephone” (pre Verizon). Sin!

To be fair, all the observation skills McClain has could be that he's a seasoned veteran cop.

everything wrong with 9 please my favorite movie i'd love to see whats wrong with it

After watching this CinemaSins it really makes me want to watch this amazing movie!

The narration in these videos are hilarious. Keep it up.

Can't wait to watch the other two sins vids for these movies....Die Hard with a Vengeance and Live Free or Die Hard. So glad to see you are already working on them. :)

He didn't pick up the dead guys gun because it would also jam because of the "bad guy gun jam ant convenient moment" cliche

He wasnt some random homeless dude in the basement he was a maintenance guy/custodian janitor

Jeremy missed that the phone booths supposedly in Dulles Airport were all Pacific Bell phones. And also that Dennis Franz tells McClane that he violated "District of Colombia laws" when that's not where Dulles is. Overall, great job though.

You should do the accountant next! Great video !

Yall gotta do "Everything wrong with Clash of the Titans" and "Wrath of the Titans".. its alot of bullshit in there to sin.

LOL omg a movie note that got passed around then put into the screen play! lol lol I love this freaking channel !!!!

plus if you see the plane that Holly Mclane flew on, Northeast 140... the Aircraft shown all the time is Lockheed L-1011 Tristar, but the plane's cockpit was a cockpit of Boeing 747-200 which shown four-engine indicator on it and also the plane's cabin was also the cabin of Boeing 747-200 because during the scene when Thornburg was kick out of First-Class cabin and when Holly about to call John again for the second time, the stairs to access the upper-deck can be clearly seen

Also sinnable: triggering an ejection seat when a plane is on the ground will get you shot in the air, and then killed as your seat with you in it smashes to bits on the ground before the chute can even open.

2:52 The Church has closed spray painted on the front of it, the guy inside is living in it not a night watchman.

Fun fact: The reason why your eyes sting in a public pool is due to the chlorine in the pool reacting with the piss.

Fun Die Hard fact (2 and a half years late) The script for Die Hard started life as Comando 2 - and I am so happy it turned out the way it did, imagine Arnie storming around a skyscraper cracking one-liners

You missed some serious sins! At #43, you let Sipowicz tell McClane that he had violated "five District of Columbia regulations" when Dulles is actually in Virginia, and not subject to DC's regulations on airport operations. (At #58, you clearly show your knowledge of Dulles' location.) *ding* During your tirade on #73, you missed a good 10 payphones supposedly in Dulles, Virginia, but sporting the PacBell logo. *ding* At #96, the runways mentioned are 10 and 15. The runways at Dulles are 01(/19) and 12(/30). *ding*

Do everything wrong with Bee Movie

Best part was the T-1000 reference

That last voice over caused an uncontrollable fit of laughter. Thank you!

I love your channel

Cinemasins forgot a scene when you can see the pilot pushing 4 throttles in a trijet

Do everything wrong with Ghostbusters 2016

@13:05. Runways are number based on compass heading. 10, and 15 refer to 110 and 150 degrees, or North East. Currently Dallas only uses 19R, 19C, 19L, 30R, and in the future: 30L

man i love this movie. hurts listening to you make good points. damn you cinema sins

I remember when I tested my taser (in the air). It was so damn loud!!!! There is no way you could pull it out on an plane without everyone knowing about it.
