DIE HARD: The Ultimate History of the Entire Franchise

Awesome! Loved this! Thanks for putting it together!

Die hard 2 is underrated

1 and 3 are the best and the Johnny comes marching home tune is epic. Jesus line is hilarious

16 blocks is really good

The last boy scout is another good one

Was already at Die Harder when this posted

Great video! Very well researched.. However, a few things were left out:
1. Die Hard 2 was originally pitched as a Commando 2 but Arnie turned it down, then it became a Die Hard 2... the Commando sequel makes sense as to why the villian was a Rogue Military Colonel...

2. The Simon Says script that became Die Hard with a Vengeance retained about 80% of the original story, only a little bit of it needed to be changed to turn it into a Die Hard movie.

3. Live Free or Die Hard got an R rated release on DVD and Bluray that put back all the F-bombs and you hear his signature phrase clearly, it also did not have all the PG-13 cuts in the actions sequences so they were a bit more violent and bloody.

4. A Good Day to Die Hard was the first movie in the franchise to be written as a Die Hard movie and not a previously written story where John McClane was added into it to become a Die Hard movie.

One of those films that the Directorial changes made the film as well as casting Bruce was a stroke of luck as he does come across perfectly as an everyday man.

"ACAB does not include John Mcclane" lol

Team: Heavy Spoilers lol jk I love both of you guys. Cheers!

Just saw your “feud” with Heavy Spoilers!!! Hilarious!!🤣

4 Film Franchise!

Yippee ki yay Mr Falcon

I love Kiefer Sutherland's 24, I wish they actually went on that route. It could've been a good movie for both franchise.

Yippie ki yay!

Great synopsis. Never saw the 3rd movie, and didn't know there was a 5th movie. I must be the only person in the country who enjoyed the 3rd movie, but I live in my own world. lol

Die Hard 2 screenwriter Doug Richardson actually wrote a draft of Die Hard 4 where John McClain teams up with his son who is a computer hacker to battle some cyber terrorists. The script was completely different than the film they ended up making and in my opinion a million times better. Sadly, Willis said no to it. At the time, he wanted McClain to protect his daughter not team up with his son.

I had no idea that the DH2 villain also played the Reaper in Bill & Ted--thanks as always!

I love this channel a lot, and this video has given me even more to love! All the best in the new year Screen Crush

1 is a classic, 2 really good, 3 a lot of fun, 4 is an odd one I enjoyed but should have been its own thing and 5 I can bring myself to watch to not leave on a bad note 😂 and had thought about 6 being called Too Old to DieHard and it's the kids saving John and Holly who are being held hostage in Nakatomi at a retirement anniversary celebration or something.

But wanted to mention one other tidbit of another potential shared universe that never came to be: DieHard/Lethal Weapon. Al Powell was potentially going to cameo or have Riggs/Murtaugh pass a desk and the camera linger on the desk of John McClane to tease a crossover after another LW film. But I believe the Mel Gibson meltdown made that impossible so it never came to be...

Die Hard is one the iconic movie ever 🎉

I really enjoyed this one! Thank you for your work on this!

What a wonderful surprise! 💞💓💞 I loved this awesome video. Great job as always❣ Wait for it.....
The ending made me laugh out loud & rewind.... So much love & blessings for a great 2025🎉🎊🎉

Oh yes, January 6th... The darkest day of the US. Stop with your TDS.

I love these film game references.
Have you thought of doing any game film videos? Star Wars has some great games.

Ehhh, yall could have done “What If” instead…….. I’m taking my likes and subscribe to Emergency Awesome!!!

There are 2 beautiful episodes from creature commando's but u didn't breakdown or discuss any one....very sad 😢😢

Argyle helped out aswell by crashing the limo

16 blocks reminds me of a Clint Eastwood movie the gauntlet

Die hard video? What about “what if?”

Really nice stuff, thanks!

Loved this! Would love to see other classic deep dives!

Die Hard with a Vengeance is my personal favorite of the franchise!

the Bruno cartoon too😍

"Old Habits Die Hard" is a fantastic title for the sixth and final movie we'll probably never see.

Damn, I didn´t know there were more issues of the comic book! I´ve got the first one when I went do the US years ago... gotta grab the others now

Thank you for this excellent video we needed!! And for giving me several movies to watch 😊

2 things you didn't include for the first movie. Television is introduced for the first time as a protagonist in thrillers and action movies, which later became fashionable. It is probably the only movie ever made where every scene has an impact on some future scene. Things that make it very significant for movie history

I can’t believe you didn’t mention the Die Hard The Musical from Bob’s Burgers. Work Hard or Die Trying Girl!

The comic book Die Hard: Year One from 2010 was really good. It's the story of McClane's rookie year in 1976. It would make a great movie.

Die Hard and 24 teamup would have been so very interesting. Willis and Sutherland.. yez.

Fox Plaza was also used for AIRHEADS years later

Welp, looks like I'll be adding Ricochet to my future Die Hard franchise marathons.

LOL!! Terminator Genesis! LMFAO!

Please do a video on Jack Bauer/24

Not sure where I saw this, but there is a bruno (bruce Willis) mockumentary, where he's a lost beetle member. It was years ago, so not sure where to find it.

OHMSS is a great Christmas action movie similar to die hard no one knows about 😊 hearing old school country songs that have yippie ki yay is interesting gene autry, I have to say some of the talk about movies are super old which millenial knows Roy rogers. old habits die hard would have been a good name, die hard 3 is basically a remake of Goldfinger, just like die hard is of ohmss, I respect that guy that says Arnold achwanagger, Joseph gordan levitt as young Bruce Willis lol

OMG I forgot about that episode of Chuck!!
