"Oh Johnathan" and "I never seen terrorists with such great hair" are two of the best reactionary quotes I never thought I needed to hear...LOL. Great reaction.

"I don't care whatever else happens, everyone else is wrong." That is the best thing I've heard anyone say about this being a Christmas movie.❤❤

When they pitched the movie Speed, it was literally pitched as "Die Hard on a bus." Die Hard was such a success that it became the modern Hollywood template for action movies.

You don't know what it's like to be a guy with a brother. The chainsaw scene is probably the best illustration of brotherly love I've ever seen.

This is becoming one of my favorite reaction channels. It's adorable, funny and honest.

"Bruce Willis slowly went bald because they kept making him make Die Hard movies!" 😆 I guess I'm going to start telling people I've been in multiple Die Hard situations myself.

It´s not really Christmas until Hans Gruber falls off Nakatomi Awesome seeing you having such a great time with a classic...and "Jonathan"

Hey Nikki! Fun fact - that look of panic on Hans Gruber's face (Alan Rickman) when the watch comes loose and he starts to fall was a real look of fear! The director/stunt coordinator tricked Alan and released him sooner from the harness he was hanging from. Good thing they got it in one shot because you know he was pissed!

It ain’t Christmas till Hans Gruber falls off Nakatomi Plaza.

I have a friend whose family tradition is summed up as: "It's not Christmas until Hans Gruber falls from Nakatomi Tower." They watch this each year on Dec 24. Christmas!

The fact you said, "he will always be a fratelli brother to me", meant the world. Your knowledge of movies and referring to them is awesome. I love people who are able to retain movie knowledge. You and your husband have an awesome relationship!!!!

to calm down after "speed" and "die hard" I suggest to watch a nice movie - "Alien". It is basically like E.T. :D

"Hacker Dude" (Clarence Gilyard, Jr.) was Chuck Norris's partner in the "Walker, Texas Ranger" T.V. series. Al Leong was the bad guy that helped himself to the Crunch bar. He was a bad guy in another Christmas movie starring Mel Gibson & Danny Glover, "Lethal Weapon" (1987).

“My heart is gonna fall out my butt.” 🤣❤️

This was pure joy. You two are a delight. And, yes, it’s a xmas movie. The bearer bonds in the end are falling down like snow. ‘Nuff said.

Love her energy. She's funny.

Since she commented on Alan Rickman, aka Snape, having scary roles... have you seen the hilarious "Galaxy Quest"?

Bruce came away from making this movie with permanent 75% hearing loss in his left ear, due to a gun being fired too close to him in one scene. You were right, he got worked over making this film.

8:13 "IS HE BAREFOOT IN THIS WHOLE MOVIE BECAUSE OF THAT DIPSH--?!?" 👣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👣 You REALLY didn't like that guy on the plane! 😆🤣

This is probably the best reaction to Die Hard that I've ever seen, and I've seen many! Great job, loved it! 🤪

Alan Rickman being ... Alan Rickman. His first major movie in a starring role, (Bruces' too) and what fun!! Definitely a Christmas movie. Also, great to see two fantastic actors on that final step to world recognition.

The guy with the "elegant legs" was actually a world-renowned ballet dancer!

One of my favorite movies ever. I was 17 when this movie was originally released and I immediately loved it. I watch it every Christmas Eve because it is not Christmas until Hans Gruber falls off the Nakatomi building. So much great dialogue in this movie and amazing performances by Bruce Willis and the late, great Alan Rickman. Die Hard was actually Alan Rickman's very first movie; prior to Die Hard, all his acting experience had been on the stage. To this day, I cannot think of anyone else who could have played Hans as well as he did. Two other films in which he played an amazing villain were Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves and Quigley Down Under.

Since she hates elevators so much, you should have her watch Mission Impossible. 😁

8:13 I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this movie, and it never occurred to me that the “make fists with your toes” guy from the plane was to blame for him ending up barefoot 🤣

Your reactions are a perfect mix of humor, compassion and surprise. It'd be great if you guys would setup a patreon and release full uncut reactions.

I watch far more movie reaction videos than I care to admit, and this blonde - the disembodied voice guy's girlfriend (fiancee, wife?) - is by far the most amusing, insightful, and dynamic reactor on KZfaq.

This is quite possibly my FAVORITE reaction to DIE HARD!! Thank you SO MUCH for sharing!! HIGHLY Entertaining! OH, and, Yippie Kai Yay and Merry Christmas *^%#!!

I love the subtle look on Ellis’s face when Carl hands him a coke, when he clearly asked for some coke:)

Don’t forget the other Christmas Classics “Gremlins” and “Lethal Weapon”

The blonde haired guy was Alexander Godunov. He was a world famous dancer with the Bolshoi Ballet. In 1979 while on tour in NYC he defected to the US. He died at 45 in 1995.

At 11:53, when he slapped the MP5, it is called the "HK slap" which is a specified method of closing a latched open action which releases the charging handle from its notch allowing the weapon to fire.

I watch quite a few movie reactors and you are fast becoming one of my favorites! Can't wait till you add more and more content! Your reactions are so genuine and fun to watch.

The build was the Fox Studios building (who put out the film) under construction. In the scene where McClane throws C4 down the elevator shaft to stop the assault, the effects team unwittingly blew out every window on one floor of the building. And the fists with toes works. 😜😜 Oh and police talkies (and some others) can be set hands free.

I'm gonna bet when you said throw something out the window a dead body wasn't what you were thinking. And yes, definitely a Christmas movie!

"that didn't sound like a correct ding" I love it.

"Welcome to the party, pal!" It isn't Christmas in my house until Hans Gruber is THROWN off the top of Nakatomi Plaza. 😎 Merry Christmas! ✝️ 🙏 🎄 🎁 Fun Fact: In 2007, Bruce Willis donated John McClane's undershirt to the Smithsonian Museum. Making Lemonade Fact: The scene where McClane (Bruce Willis) falls down a shaft was a mistake by the stuntman, who was supposed to grab the first vent, as it originally was planned. He slipped and continued to fall, but the shot was used anyway; it was edited together with one where McClane grabs the next vent down as he falls. When Worlds Collide Fact: The scene in which Gruber (Alan Rickman) and McClane (Bruce Willis) meet for the first time was inserted into the script after Alan Rickman was found to be proficient at mimicking American accents. The filmmakers had been looking for a way to have the two characters meet prior to the climax and capitalized on Rickman's talent. Casting Notes Fact: Alan Rickman nearly passed up the role of Hans Gruber, which ended up being his first American film role. He had only arrived in Hollywood two days earlier and was appalled by the idea of his first role being the villain in an action film. To a degree, Rickman was right to be concerned considering his performance as Hans Gruber was so hailed that the actor had to struggle being typecast as a player of villains for much of his career. Location Location Fact: The fictional Nakatomi Plaza is the headquarters of 20th Century Studios, so the studio could use one of its own buildings and didn't have to hold back on stunts and action sequences. While Jeb Stuart was writing the screenplay, he did a tour of the building, and immediately incorporated some of the locations and objects he found there into his script as set pieces. The company charged itself rent for the use of the then-unfinished building. Some of the middle floors were occupied by legal and administrative departments, so only empty floors were used for filming. Still, the filming of scenes that involved gunfire had to be postponed until after hours because some of the employees from the active floors started to complain about the noise.

Hey like so many other things, you were right, Argyle and Al DID save the day, plus a bonus with Holly decking Thornburg on live tv to wrap it up. 😂

The building was the actual office building of 20th Century Fox, newly built and halfway finished at the time. The studio actually charged itself rent for the usage for filming. There were already offices in use, so shooting of gunfire and explosions was restricted to after hours, which is why the movie is mostly set at night.

This is a GREAT reaction channel. Refreshing to see somebody actually reacting to the movie and not just spending most of the time in silence.

The delivery of the "HO-HO-HO" by Alan Rickman is simply perfect.

Great reaction to a fun movie. I love your reactions. You ar definitely one of my favorite reactors and you haven’t even been around that long. Looking forward to many, many more on your channel.

19:58 This scene where Bruce Willis fires the pistol under the table, actually caused permanent hearing damage. It resulted in him being deaf in one ear. Scenes like this have been done before, but with Willis being under the table, caused the sound to echo far worse than expected.

24:21 Found out not too long ago that the candy bar scene was improvised.

Fun fact: at 39:32 when Hans starts to fall, they released him a few counts too early so the face he makes is his honest reaction to falling.

I was having so much fun predicting when she was gonna say"Christmas" It became a fun game!!!

"The second one is called Die HARDER?" 🤣🤣🤣 Priceless comment.

If you like Alan Rickman you should watch the underrated comedy/adventure/science fiction GALAXY QUEST, Alan Rickman was fantastic and it was a great movie. Sigourney Weaver, Tim Allen, Sam Rockwell and more star in it. Highly Recommend. I enjoyed your reaction, I look forward to your next one.

Your channel is so much fun and well edited with great energy, and one of the few channels I have the notification bell on for! :0)

Remember The Blues Brothers, when Ray Charles, the owner of the music shop, "sees" a little kid trying to steal something and fires two bullets just inches from his hand to stop him (a nifty feat for a blind guy)... that kid is Argyle. Aaannd... there are three Playboy centerfold models in this movie. The one on the wall in the construction area, of course, And the girl at the airport in the white tights jumping into her boyfriend's arms, and the woman at the party whose top is open and who is trying to fool around with a co-worker. Yep

YOU TWO ARE AWESOME!! . Nikki So Much Fun and wow how quick and genuine she is. Her husband, (I assume Husband) in the background laughing with and at Nikki's reactions sometimes. is the perfect addition. Very unique way to shoot the video it as well. 😎

Uli, the candy bar snatcher, is played by Al Leong, martial artist, stuntman and 1980s movie and TV henchman. He was in EVERYTHING.

When McLean is going to jump off the building using the fire hose, I absolutely loved the almost fourth wall break you gave us

Argyle was definitely a bro waiting for John to see if he strikes out or not!

Hi Nikki!😊 I think you are right, they must have a hair stylist on the team.😉 Most of the one liners are ad-libbed by Bruce Willis. The next two sequels are very good, too!🏆🏆 Great reactions to your very first Die Hard film, Nikki!!!!🎬👏👏👏👏

It is just great to watch a reaction video in which someone has actual reactions!

he trivia behind this movie is amazing . Bruce Willis was consider to be a joke to be cast in an action movie. The way the movie was shot changed action movies forever . Bruce lost some of his hearing due to the explosions and gun fire. Alan Rickman's first movie. The actor who played Karl was a world renown ballet dancer who's defection was made into a movie itself

The moment when she realizes he’s gonna be barefoot for the whole movie is one of the best moments of this whole reaction. It instantly ramps up the stress of the entire movie.

The real hero of this movie is the building. Explosions on top and bottom and still standing

I still want to see Nikki’s reaction to hitchhikers guide to the galaxy By the way this was a great reaction always 😂

Nikki: "Christmas" Nikki: "Christmas" Nikki......you are awesome!!!! Die Hard is a Christmas movie!!! Thank you so much!!!

If you ever want to see a movie with Alan Rickman playing a genuinely good dude, check out Sense and Sensibility. It's a Jane Austen adaptation, and it's adorable.

I hope someone let her know that "the blond one" was Alexander Godunov, a former world class ballet dancer. That's one of the reasons he came off as so graceful.

FORGET the debate of Die Hard being a Christmas movie or not......let's debate if John McClane's holding a BEAR, or a WOODCHUCK? 😂😂😂😂

"This is way better than the lion king." 🤣

The 'elegant one' is Andreas Wisniewski, one of the two gangsters who IS actually German. He's also a classically trained ballet dancer.

In the 80s, when we were kids watching this, we called "Blondie" Jeff Hanneman. ...Some will get the reference.

Fun fact: the blonde at the airport that John bumps into is Terri Lynn Doss who had a centerfold in Playboy a few months after the movie premiere.

Great reaction video, and I'm so glad your "heart did not fall out of your butt". If you liked this Die Hard you'll love 2,3, and 4.. Thanks for the entertaining reaction. Can hardly wait for your next one. (And yes, I'm A subscriber.)

Rickamn's look of fear when he falls is genuine - they were supposed to drop him (he was on a wire hanging that high up) on three but they dropped him on 1. So he was truly scared shitless.

I love it when you realized john will be barefoot through out the whole movie 😅😂

I will die on the hill that Die Hard is more of a Christmas Movie than It's A Wonderful Life.

Hart Bochner (Lloyd Bochner's son) [Ellis] improvised a lot of his lines when he revealed John to Hans. In particular the "Bubbie", so Rickman's confusion there is genuine.

The Thing from 1982 is a good Christmas movie too....

11:51 - That little slap on the bolt release looks very silly but is actually 100% the correct way to ready an MP5!

My 2nd video-reaction from you (after "it's a Wonderful Life"). Nikki, you are incredible. Soooo entertaining. Your personality is amazing. Also, you have basically no make-up and your face is so beautiful. Your husband obviously adores you. His background laughter is a perfect complement. He is a lucky guy.

This is a Christmas movie and I am prepared to die on this hill. Also this was Alan Rickman's first film role and Bruce Willis's 3rd after Blind Date, he'd been known as a comedic actor due to Moonlighting.

"Speed" connection -- the guy who directed Speed, Jan De Bont, was the Director of Photography on this movie.

*_"The Long Kiss Goodnight"_* would be a suggestion for another action movie set during christmas time (but not necessarily as strongly christmas-themed).

When they filmed Rickman falling, they counted 3...2...1, and then released him on or just before 2. So his shocked expression is real.

The scene with John in the ventilation shaft, hanging from the machine gun strap was a failed stunt. The stuntman fell instead of catching the edge of the ventilation shaft. Through some clever editing, the happy accident was turned into a much more thrilling stunt.

Like the unique way Nikki is shot. Nikki is Beautiful! ( love that hair color). Nikki is So Much Fun. She is very quick witted. Husband laugh is good part of reaction too, feels like we all in the living room together.😁😎 Sense that husband is great guy.. Nikki is a Gem, thanks to both of you for sharing....😎😎

The 'controversy' is it's the only Christmas movie everyone watches, irregardless of month, and usually multiple times a year. Unlike other Christmas movies 😂

"The second one is called Die Harder?!?" That moment when you realize our world is, in fact, a caricature just like in Robocop, Tropic Thunder, etc :)

The constant hair complements were just awesome😂😂😂😂

7:25 Nostalgia. Back in the days when every telephone had it's own two wires.

A soft death in my mind is falling asleep and never waking up.

If you think Alan Rickman was creepy in this movie, you should see him as the Sheriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.

Saw this when it first came out. Had low expectations because Bruce was known for the show Moonlighting and he wasn’t an action star. Still to this day, it’s considered the king of action movies. Nikki’s the king of movie reactions!

The hacker guy was Clarence Gilyard Jr. He passed away last year. He was a Professor at University of Nevada. Great guy. (Also in Top Gun, Walker Texas Ranger).

This movie has been a Christmas Eve tradition in my household for decades

Your reactions are growing on me! Wow, you've moved into my top 3 already & I just found this channel. Back to The Future was my first watch. I look forward to more reactions Nikki!

"Is he barefoot this whole movie because of that dip?!" lol

30:10 This scene was added because Alan Rickman impressed the director with how well he could do an American accent.

This was Allen Rickman (Hans Gruber) First featured film. The climax in the movie when he fell The look on his face was real because they dropped him early for the shot he wasn't expecting it.

This is the best reaction I have ever seen to this movie. Some of the things you said were so relatable such as the wishing the elegant gazelle guy lived longer. I love this movie so much that I must have watched at least 10 reaction videos to it already and nobody else has said that! I always wished he had lived longer too because he was one my favorites.

Her reactions are so fun! I'm loving! I hope at some point she reacts to Scream, it would be awesome!

The rest of the world is going to fall in love with Nikki's reactions. Pure gold. Absolutely fantastic. Definitely going to rewatch this Christmas movie reaction next year. Keep going and growing the channel. "Someone kill him." 🤣 I'm going to call it a woodchuck from now on. 😂 Never thought about Bruce loosing his hair because of the Die Hard movies. 🤔 Be sure to record her going to Psychic School.

I’m excited for where this channel is gonna go. The 45-degree angle reaction position is going to be iconic on the thumbnails.

You are the best person that ever existed Nikki. You know why? Because YOU KNOW that this is a christmas movie. People keep ignoring that this movie has evil christmas music AND christmas sounds nonstop. People also say John doesn't do anything christmasy.... yes he does, he freakin goes to a CHRISTMAS PARTY. Then there are ALL the references to christmas. Just because this isn't a movie from the Hallmark channel, that doesn't mean its not a christmas movie. I'm team NIKKI!
