Episode Five: Die Hard (Part I)
On a Wednesday afternoon in Cincinnati. Sean was in a cheery yet festive mood as he steps outside, with Dean Martin's rendition of Let It Snow starts playing and he starts singing.
Oh the weather outside is frightful.
Sean realizes that he's outside without a coat on in this 35 degree temperature.
"Holy shit, it's cold!" Sean runs back inside.
But the fire is so delightful.
Sean puts his hand close to the fireplace to warm up, he accidentally places his hand on the fireplace gate and burns his hand.
"Ow, fuck!" Sean exclaimed.
And since we've no place to go.
"What the? Where the hell are my Christmas cookies?!" Sean exclaimed and picked up his combat knife and threw it at a DVD copy of A Christmas Story 2. "Ah, there."
Sean heads upstairs and enters his office, sitting down at his desk as he finishes the song before starting the review. "Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it….DIE HAAAAAAAARD!"
(A clip from the Die Hard trailer plays)
Announcer: Bruce Willis. Die Hard.
"Die Hard, the most awesome yet manly, testosterone-packed action film of all time. Simply shouting out the title of the movie will send your testosterone count to over 9,000. Like so, DIE HAAAAAAARD!" Sean shouts the name of the movie.
(A clip from Friends season seven episode The One with the Nap Partners plays)
Ross (Played by David Schwimmer): Yeah!
Ross and Joey (Played by Matt LeBlanc): Die Haaaard!
"DIE HAAAARD!" Sean shouts again.
Ross: Yeah!
Ross and Joey: Die Haaaard!
"DIE HAAAARD! Wait a minute. Oh, yeah. Bruce Willis did guest star on Friends. He played Ross' girlfriend's father who dated Rachel." Sean said. "Die Hard was released on July 15, 1988 during the golden age of 80's action flicks. This film has a pretty interesting production history so allow me to begin. In 1966, novelist Roderick Thorp published a crime story called The Detective. The detective in question was Joe Leland, he's hired to investigate the death of a widow's husband. A film adaptation was released two years later and it starred the late Frank Sinatra as Joe Leland. The film was billed as a more "adult" approach to depicting the life and work of a police detective. The film was a box-office success and it became the 20th highest earning film of the year and due to the success of the film, Thorpe was asked to write a sequel. So, the sequel he wrote was Nothing Lasts Forever. Oh, man. That sounds like the title of a James Bond movie. Fox offered Swoonatra the lead role as Joe Leland once again, but the problem is that he declined the role, which makes sense with him being 64 years old at the time, but I digress. The story of Nothing Lasts Forever would go to good use as it would be re-worked as a sequel to the 1985 film Commando starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and it was intended for Schwarzenegger to reprise his role as John Matrix but he wasn't interested either because he wasn't too keen on doing sequels at the time."
(Posters of Terminator 2, The Expendables 2, Terminator 3, Terminator: Genisys and The Expendables 3 pop up around Sean)
"Oh, the times have changed, my friends. But Fox really wanted Schwarzenegger, so they re-worked the story so it could be it's own stand-alone film and the character John Matrix would be changed to John McClane. But Arnold was still not interested. The script was offered to different actors like Mel Gibson, Sylvester Stallone, Harrison Ford, Don Johnson, Richard Gere, Clint Eastwood and Burt Reynolds. Wait, Richard Gere? Richard Gere's too of a nice guy to be playing as John McClane. So, no current action star was interested so who did they pick? They went with Bruce Willis." Sean said as a clip from the hit ABC show Moonlighting starts playing.
(A clip from Moonlighting plays, showing the character David Addison, played by Bruce Willis, starts singing The Temptations' My Girl)
"20th Century Fox has made the dumbest, smartest decision ever since Warner Bros. made the dumbest decision for casting Ben Affleck as Batman. But yeah, Bruce Willis, he was then known as a comedic television actor and he was best known for his role as David Addison from Moonlighting and he also did a couple of Seagrams commercials as well. Not a bad choice, as far as I can see. So let's see what director John McTiernan and Bruno the Kid cooked up for us. This is DIE HARD!" Sean shouts. "By the way, Bruno the Kid is a cartoon from 1996 by BKN and it starred Bruce Willis as the title character and the ungodly CGI animation of him."
Sean: (Narration) Our merry tale opens New York detective John McClane, played by Bruce Willis, arriving in Los Angeles, and he gets some unorthodox travel tips.
Businessman (Played by Robert Lesser): You wanna know the secret to surviving air travel?
"Don't have sex in airplane bathrooms?" Sean asked.
"What secrets? For me, it's have a smooth flight." Brian said, sipping his hot chocolate.
Businessman: After you get where you're going, take off your shoes and your socks then walk around the rug barefoot and make fists with your toes.
"Wait, what?" Sean asked.
Businessman: Take off your shoes and your socks then walk around the rug barefoot and make fists with your toes.
"Oookay." Sean said in his Bull Shannon voice and raised his eyebrow. "That works too, I guess. I mean, it's better than saying this."
(Cutaway Gag)
Sean (as the Businessman): Look, what you want to do is after you get where you're going, unbuckle your belt then pull down your pants and underwear and make your ass sneeze.
(John stays silent)
(Cutaway Gag Ends)
Sean: (Narration) After we've established that airport security in 1988 is totally lax, we're introduced to a somewhat important character named Argyle, played by De'voreaux White. Who you might recognize him as the Guitar Thief from The Blues Brothers. Argyle is the limo driver that Holly's boss has arranged for John.
John McClane (Played by Bruce Willis): What do we do now?
Argyle (Played by De'voreaux White): I was, uh, hoping you could tell me. It's my first time driving a limo.
Sean: (Narration) Argyle happens to be a former cab driver and incredibly intuitive, which we get an exposition dump about McClane's family life.
John McClane: 'Cause I'm a New York cop. I got a six-month backlog on New York scumbags I'm still trying to put behind bars. I don't just get up and move.
Argyle: You mean you thought she wouldn't make it out here and she'd come crawling on back, so why bother to pack, right? (Laughs)
Sean: (Narration) And boy, the late 80's is fully realized when Argyle plays some Christmas rap.
"I am not joking, my friends. He started playing Christmas in Hollis by Run D.M.C., I am not making this shit up." Sean grinned.
John: You call this Christmas music?
Argyle: This is Christmas music.
(Christmas in Hollis starts playing as the camera pans up, giving us a shot of Nakatomi Plaza)
"Fun fact: that's Fox Plaza, Twentieth Century Fox's official headquarters. Or known as Weazel Plaza in Grand Theft Auto V." Sean said.
Sean: (Narration) Argyle drops John off and opts to stick around in the parking garage in case things go sour between John and Holly. And judging that Holly doesn't go by "McClane" anymore, she goes by "Holly Gennaro".
(Sean notices a goof in the film)
"Hey, wait a minute." Sean said, picking up the remote and rewinding back to play back the mistake. "Did anyone notice that? Before the screen changed, the spelling for Holly's last name was "Gennaro" with an "A", and then her name's spelling changed after selecting her name. I should've mentioned this on my Mask of the Phantasm review, but there's a goof where right after Batman leaves Andrea's apartment, she drops a glass and we hear the sound of the glass shattering, and then the camera zooms out and we see that the glass is still in one piece. Come on, guys. Stop goofing up movies. I mean, I get annoyed when someone mispronounces my name wrong."
"Hey Sean, I was wondering if…." Sean's intern Barry enters after he mispronounces his name wrong. Sean picks up a Christmas cookie and throws it at Barry.
"It's Sean, you idiot! Get my name correct!" Sean yelled.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry. I won't get your name wrong again!" Barry cried as he ran out of Sean's office.
Sean: (Narrating) John reaches up to the office Christmas party, he meets Holly's boss, Joseph Takagi, a Japanese native, played by the late James Shigeta. And he's from Hawaii. Then, we also meet Douchey McDoucheburger himself Harry Ellis, played by Hart Bochner.
"And trust me, if you think that Councilman Arthur Reeves from Batman: Mask of the Phantasm was the biggest asshole on the face of the Earth, then you have not met Ellis." Sean said.
Sean: (Narrating) It's not long until John's wife Holly, played by Bonnie Bedelia. Who you might know her as Macauley Culkin's aunt. Yeah, she's related to Macauley Culkin. Another fun fact.
John McClane: He's got his eye on you.
Holly Gennaro (Played by Bonnie Bedelia): It's okay, I have his eye on his private bathroom.
"For washing up or for the stash of cocaine?" Sean asked.
Sean: (Narrating) Things seem to go well for John and Holly, in hopes of reconciling again. Until John fucks it up by bring up the whole last name thing.
John McClane: I guess you didn't miss my name though, huh? Except maybe when you're signing checks?
Holly Gennaro: This is a Japanese company. They figure a married woman's got….
John McClane: You are a married woman, Holly. You are married to me.
Holly Gennaro: Are we going to have this conversation again? We did this in July.
John McClane: We never finished this conversation in July.
"Okay, I know that John was being a dick about this but why couldn't Holly have "McClane" as her last name? It's bad-ass. You take someone's first name and make it sound amazing." Sean said as photos of different movie and television show characters pop up.
(A photo of Phil Dunphy from Modern Family pops up)
Sean: Phil… McClane!
(The photo of Phil Dunphy changes with Phil having sunglasses, a beard and a cigar in his mouth and explosions behind him)
(A photo of Lucas Friar from Girl Meets World pops up)
Sean: Lucas… McClane!
(The photo of Lucas changes with Lucas having sunglasses on his face, two samurai swords and an explosion behind him)
(A photo of Kylo Ren from Star Wars: The Last Jedi pops up)
Sean: Kylo… McClane!
(The photo of Kylo Ren changes with a mustache on Kylo Ren's face)
"It just works. Take full advantage of it, woman!" Sean exclaimed.
Sean: (Narration) But enough of all that, something fishy is going on when a group of deadly European terrorists arrive at Nakatomi to cause some trouble, starting with the front desk.
(Karl and Theo enter the building and walk up to the front desk)
Theo (Played by Clarence Gilyard Jr.): So Kareem rebounds, right? Feeds Worthy on the break, over to A.C., to Magic, then back to Worthy, right?
(Karl pulls out his silenced pistol and shoots the guard at the front desk)
Theo: Boom! Two points!
"Uh, shouldn't you say something like "Boom, goes the dynamite."?" Sean asked. "Oh, and also the body count has started."
Sean: (Narrating) We're introduced to our friendly neighborhood hacker named Theo, played by Clarence Gilyard Jr. from Walker, Texas Ranger, and Karl played by the late Alexander Godunov. But they're not as important as we're introduced to the big bad guy of the movie named Hans Gruber, played brilliantly by the late Alan Rickman. The group closes all of the doors and puts the building on lockdown before crashing the party.
"Looks like Hans Gruber is going to be a daunting adversary but no need to fear, my friends, because action star Bruce Willis is here to save the day." Sean said.
(John is making fists with his toes)
John McClane: Son of a bitch. (Laughs) Fists with your toes.
"Christ, Bruce. You're not helping me out here." Sean rolled his eyes.
Sean: (Narrating) So, Hans and his men make their way up to the 30th floor and crash the party and start rounding up some hostages, giving John the opportunity to slip past the henchmen only to escape to the next floor and come up with a plan while at this time Hans is calmly looking for Mr. Takagi.
Hans Gruber (Played by the late Alan Rickman): Where is Joseph Takagi? Joseph Yoshinobu Takagi, born Kyoto, 1937.
Holly Gennaro: (Whispers) Don't move.
Hans Gruber: Family emigrated to San Pedro, California, 1939. Interned at Manzanar, 1942 to 1943.
Sean: (Narrating) Takagi speaks up as Hans leads him out of the group and takes him up a floor in the longest elevator ride ever and into a meeting room to get some information out of him.
Hans Gruber: I need the code key because I am interested in the $640 million in negotiable bearer bonds that you have locked in your vault. And the computer controls the vault.
Takagi (Played by the late James Shigeta): You want money? What kind of terrorists are you?
Hans Gruber: (Chuckling) Who said we were terrorists?
Sean: (Narrating) John eavesdrops on the conversation but I just want to make one thing very clear that Takagi's logic was stupid which results in this. I mean, a man is threatening your life and all you have to do is give him the code to stay alive. So, what do you do?
Takagi: You're just gonna have to kill me.
"Huh?" Sean asked.
Hans Gruber: Okay.
"Oh, wait..don…don't….the code!" Sean exclaimed.
(Hans fires his gun and shoots Takagi in the head)
"You fucking idiot! You should've given him the code but instead you had to be an idiot and have your brain matter splattered all over the door!" Sean yelled.
Sean: (Narration) After witnessing Takagi's death, John hastily retreats, only to make enough noise to spook the bad guys, but he still slips away like he's in a stealth video game and desperately wanting to inform the authorities he pulls the fire alarm on the 32nd floor and advertently alerting the bad guys who know exactly where he is, but it doesn't go well as the terrorists call them off and send one of the goons up to the 32nd floor.
Tony (Played by Andreas Wisniewski): The fire has been called off, my friend. No one is coming to help you. You might as well come up and join the others. I promise I won't hurt you.
"Yeah, right." Sean scoffed. "If you're not going to hurt me, then I'm Scarlett Johansson."
Sean: (Narrating) John distracts Tony, played by Andreas Wisniewski, and manages to hold him at gunpoint.
Tony: You won't hurt me.
John McClane: Yeah? Why not?
Tony: Because you're a policeman. There are rules for policemen.
John McClane: Yeah. That's what my captain keeps telling me.
Sean: (Narrating) The two of them get into a scuffle, with the help of Bruce Willis' stunt double, and John comes out victorious by breaking the guy's neck. Like any decent gamer, John loots the corpse and grabs himself an MP5, a radio and a lighter, then sends Tony down to the 30th floor in an elevator just to give Hans a special Christmas gift.
(The female worker screams as she notices Tony's corpse in the elevator)
Hans Gruber: "Now I have a machine gun. Ho-Ho-Ho."
Fritz (Played by Hans Buhringer): A security guard we missed?
Sean: (Narrating) And then we find out a little something about Tony that he has a brother named Karl and when Karl finds out that his brother is dead…..
(Karl throws the desk down in rage after learning about Tony's death)
Karl (Played by the late Alexander Godunov): I want blood!
"Jesus Christ, is Karl a freaking vampire and all of a sudden he wants blood?" Sean asked.
Sean: (Narrating) Karl is highly pissed and he wants to kill McClane, but Hans tells him to cool his jets and not alter the plan. Meanwhile, John makes his way up to the roof in an attempt to call emergency services via radio.
Police Supervisor (Played by Diana James): Attention, whoever you are, this channel is reserved for emergency calls only.
John McClane: No fucking shit, lady! Do I sound like I'm ordering a pizza?!
"I forgot how many awesome quotable lines were in this movie and this is one of them." Sean said.
Sean: (Narrating) While John is trying to convince the police that there are terrorists in the building, Hans sends Karl and his men up to kill him but Karl has a personal vendetta against McClane and they interrupt McClane's call by shooting at him. Didn't Hans tell him not to alter the plan?! Also, the police sends someone down to check it out and here we are introduced to….
(The theme song to Family Matters starts playing)
Sean: (Narrating) This guy buying Twinkies is Sergeant Al Powell, played by Carl Winslow himself Reginald VelJohnson and he's buying a bunch of Twinkies. A whole lot.
Sgt. Al Powell (Played by Reginald VelJohnson): They're for my wife. She's pregnant.
(The clerk nods)
Sean: (Narrating) Powell gets a call to check out the commotion going on at Nakatomi and….
(Sean sees the gas price on the sign)
"Damn! 75 cents? That's cheap gas. Well, it's 1988 and adjust it for inflation that's…." Sean said as he picks up his phone to use his calculator. " $1.50. Wha…wha…what?! $1.50?! Damn, that's cheap gas!"
Sean: (Narration) Back on the roof, John manages to escape from a bloodthirsty Karl through the elevator shaft and…..
(John falls and screams)
"Wow. I haven't seen anyone go down a shaft that far since Riley Rei…." Sean said before being interrupted by a clip from the movie Bronson.
(A clip from the movie Bronson plays)
Bronson (Played by Tom Hardy): Shut your fucking mouth!
"Oh, come on! Just let me finish my dirty jo…." Sean said before being interrupted again.
Bronson: Shut the fuck up, you *beep*!
"But…." Sean said.
Bronson: Shut it!
"Sorry." Sean said, pouting and looks down at his desk.
Sean: (Narrating) But with all do seriousness, John manages to escape from the baddies and tries to signal Powell about some real shit that's going down, he has a random encounter with Heinrich and Marco, played by Gary Roberts and Lorenzo Caccialanza, and a gunfight ensues.
(John shoots and kills Heinrich as Marco jumps up on the table while John crawls underneath)
Marco (Played by Lorenzo Caccialanza): You are dog now. No more table. Where you going, pal? Next time when you have a chance to kill somebody, don't hesitate.
(Marco gets ready to shoot John, but John ends up shooting Marco and kills him)
John McClane: Thanks for the advice.
"Okay, I love this scene but a quick reality check. Let's see how many bullets that John has fired." Sean said before going back to the clip where John kills Marco.
(John kills Marco, with 17 shots)
"17 shots. He fired 17 shots. My friend, he has mastered the 80s and 90s unlimited ammo cheat. Guess I'll have to take full advantage." Sean said.
(Cutaway Gag)
Marco: Next time when you have a chance to kill someone, don't hesitate.
Sean: Okay.
(Sean picks up his gun and starts shooting, a clip from the CSI: Crime Scene Investigation episode Targets of Obsession plays, making it act like Sean is shooting at Justin Bieber)
Sean: (In his John McClane voice) Thanks for the advice.
(Cutaway Gag Ends)
Sean: (Narrating) After he kills Heinrich and Marco, Powell leaves after figuring out that things are hunky dory in the hood and being the clueless officer that he is. You know, guns tend to be loud and especially in this movie they used extra loud blanks that caused Bruce Willis to suffer permanent ear damage, and this Twinkie eating idiot doesn't even no….
(Marco's body lands on Al's patrol car, getting Al's attention)
Al: (Screams) God damn it! Jesus H. Christ!
Sean: (V/O) Thank you!
(One of the terrorists shoot at Powell)
John McClane: Welcome to the party, pal!
"Uh, I believe you meant to say was this." Sean said.
John McClane: (His voice replaced by Steve Urkel's voice) Did I do that?
Sean: (Narrating) The police finally arrive as they lay siege to the building while John talks to Hans over the radio and have a friendly chat with each other while John steal's Heinrich's bag, which is filled with C-4 explosives and detonators.
Hans Gruber: Just another American who saw too many movies as a child? Another orphan of a bankrupt culture who thinks he's John Wayne? Rambo?
(A clip from Tango & Cash plays)
Lt. Raymond Tango (Played by Sylvester Stallone): Rambo is a pussy.
Hans Gruber: Do you really think you have a chance against us, Mr. Cowboy?
John McClane: Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker.
"That sounds like something that Lucas Friar from Girl Meets World would say to a terrorist while trying to save his wife Riley. Well, hell. Lucas is from Texas, so yeah. Wait, I just have a thought, a remake of Die Hard with Peyton Meyer as John McClane, Rowan Blanchard as Holly Gennaro McClane and Adam Driver as Hans Gruber. Adam Driver will have to master the accent though." Sean said.
Sean: (Narrating) Meanwhile outside, the LAPD take siege in front of the building, we meet Deputy Police Chief Dwayne T. Robinson, played by the late Paul Gleason, who is less convinced of the random good guy's intentions.
Deputy Police Chief Dwayne T. Robinson (Played by the late Paul Gleason): Powell, has it occurred to you he could one of the terrorists pulling your chain?
Sgt. Powell: I don't think so, sir. In fact, I think he's a cop.
Deputy Police Chief Dwayne T. Robinson: How do you know that?
Sgt. Powell: A hunch. Things he said like being able to spot a phony ID.
Deputy Police Chief Dwayne T. Robinson: Jesus Christ, Powell! He could be a fucking bartender for all we know.
"Bartender? Really? Has this man ever been to New York?" Sean asked.
"My dad has to watch this movie every Christmas." Brian said, sipping his white wine.
"And speaking of bartender, here's a fun fact: Bruce Willis was the spokesperson for Seagrams Wine Coolers. So, yeah, he's been singing and dancing about wine coolers in the 80s before this movie. Oh and here's another fun fact: Roger Ebert didn't like the character Dwayne T. Robinson and I mean he really didn't like the character. He gave the movie a 2. The biggest complaint that he had about the movie was that he didn't like the deputy. And I don't blame him, I like the movie but I didn't like the deputy and Ellis. These are two guys that I wanted to punch in the face. And we'll get to Ellis later, trust me on that. What he does will make you want to hate the character and punch him in the face." Sean said.
Sean: (Narrating) Aside from the cops arriving at Nakatomi, this arrogant prick of a reporter named Richard Thornburg, played by William "I Am Not Making Any Ghostbusters Jokes" Atherton, is on the scene reporting about the Nakatomi situation, which gets the attention of Argyle. Argyle tries to escape but gives up.
(Argyle looks in the mirror and sees the teddy bear)
Sean: (V/O as the teddy bear) I love you.
Argyle: Shut up!
Sean: Robinson, being the idiot that he is decides to send a S.W.A.T. team straight in. And the terrorists start shooting at the lights.
Capt. Mitchell (Played by the late Matt Landers): It's panic fire. They can't see anything.
Sgt. Powell: They're shooting at the lights.
(The terrorists starts shooting at the searchlights)
Deputy Police Chief Dwayne T. Robinson: They're going after the lights.
Sean takes his glasses off and facepalms. "No shit, Sherlock!"
Sean: (Narrating) And speaking of stupid, watch what happens to the S.W.A.T. while they're trying to break into the building.
(The terrorists start shooting at the S.W.A.T. team)
(A clip from Decker Shado plays)
Decker Shado: Yeah, they deserved that.
Sean: (Narrating) After having their men get shot, the LAPD send in with an armored vehicle and the bad guys use a rocket launcher and….
"Let me work on my AuzzieGamer impersonation for this." Sean said.
Sean: (Narrating and imitating the AuzzieGamer) The bad guys grab a rocket launcher and blow that motherfucker sky fucking high! Yeah! After seeing the LAPD S.W.A.T. team getting shot at and blown to bits, John decides to send a little gift to James and Alexander, played by the late Wilhelm von Homberg, who you might recognize him from this movie.
(A clip from Ghostbusters II plays)
Vigo the Carpathian (Played by the late Wilhelm von Homberg but voiced by Max Von Sydow): I Vigo, the Scourge of Carpathia, the Sorrow of Moldavia, command you.
"And Alexander is played by Joey Plewa, who…actually what has Joey Plewa acted in besides Die Hard anyway?" Sean asked and he sees a poster of Michael Jackson: HIStory on Film – Volume II and sees that he's a producer for the music video You Are Not Alone. "Oh, he produced some music videos. Yeah."
Sean: (Narrating) But anyway, John drops off a little Christmas gift to James and Alexander, by blowing up the floor they're on. Uh, how is that possible? You do know that when you use C-4, you have to use a detonator to detonate the bomb. You don't drop it instantly, duh.
"That's it for part one of the Die Hard review. Tune in next time for part two, where things get intense. And now for our commercial break. Let's hope it's a Seagrams commercial with Bruce Willis in it." Sean said.
And that's part one of the Die Hard review. I could've finished it last week but I have been busy with work and stuff and I have been exhausted with work. Since I'm off Monday through Friday, I have time to update my stories and post new ones. Someone has requested a Girl Meets World Christmas one involving Smackle, Maya and Farkle, I have a new Fuller House story involving Jackson, Rocki and Ramona in the works, a new Rucas story is in the works as well. Updates for Juliet's World, Her Protector II, Return to Riverdale and The Blood of Family are coming up as well. Don't forget to review this story, add this to your favorites and follow it for future updates. After this review, which movie for 2018 do you want me to review? Either Die Hard 2: Die Harder, the Macauley Culkin movie Richie Rich, Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: The Movie, The Rescue (the 1988 Kevin Dillon movie) or the Christopher Lloyd movie Camp Nowhere? I'll see you guys next time for part two of the Die Hard review and I hope that you all had a good Christmas. Till next time, my fellow readers.
