I remember hearing on one of Kevin Smith's podcast that the scene where Hans Gruber kills Harry Ellis was added into the movie to illustrate that Hans and the terrorist were the bad guys. Apparently before the scene was done, Hans was considered to be too sympathetic as a villain, so they put it in to make him look evil.

Because blowing Takagi's head off wasn't mean-spirited at all? The ****e people talk...

One great movie.
When did it become a christmas movie tho? Only heard that in the last couple of years with youtube etc. Growing up it was always just a great action movie. Anyone else the same?

With the production value of that documentary, thinking it's a movie is a very easy mistake to make.

So happy for John and Holly. Looking forward to a simpler time when shes rushing back to him for Christmas and he's off to the Airport to pick her up.

Has anyone thought about the Gruber family and the circumstances in which they lost their beloved son/brother?

i understand his brother will be travelling for the funeral. If time allows perhaps John could meet him half-way (say New York) to explain the circumstances of Hans' fall and help the family get some closure.

Yes that would be nice. Perhaps it could end with a nice boat trip ? Perhaps following a pub quiz and sone coloured cocktails??

I'm thankful this is now a globally known event and John McClane will get the freedom of his home city. Making it safe to walk through any of the NY boroughs and be received like the hero he, undoubtedly is.
