Scene of the Week: Merry Christmas Hans!
It has been said there are two kinds of people in this world, those that believe Die Hard is a Christmas movie and those who are wrong.
Die Hard starts off innocently enough with our hero John McClane (Bruce Willis) attending an office Christmas party with his wife Holly (Bonnie Bedelia). But the party goes terribly wrong when a group of terrorists led by Hans Gruber (Alan Rickman) start taking hostages as part of a plot to pull off an epic heist during “the most wonderful time of the year”.
The story that unfolds as John McClane goes all cowboy on Hans Gruber and his terrorist buddies is nothing short of magic… the type of magic you can only find during the holiday season.
It has also been said (in meme form) that it is not Christmas until you see Hans Gruber fall off Nakatomi Plaza. If you resemble that remark, I suggest you check out this week’s Scene of the Week and one last thing… Merry Christmas action fans!
