“Die Hard” – 1988. Written by Jeb Stuart, based on Roderick Thorp’s book. Directed by John McTiernan.
It’s winter but Bruce still has a vest on! Baddies in Towering Inferno rip-off, but baddies with machine guns, high-tec drills and of course, Alan Rickman. Over the top and then some, it’s an action film that everyone likes. The lines are now part of our culture, it put Mr. Moonlighting on the path to Movie Stardom and it made Alan Rickman the best snarling baddy for ages. Explosions, Guns, Throwaway line, it’s got the lot and it’s got a lovely Christmas background too!
Say it with me, come on now, say it….”Now I have a machine gun. Ho Ho Ho”
