Die Hard (1988) | Ep. 32 - Part 2

Alan Rickman's terrified fall was filmed by genuinely dropping him a beat earlier than he expected, and the reaction is real. John, Westy, and Luke continue the story, picking up at the rooftop showdown.

We dig into the crew behind the film — the screenplay adapted from a novel, Michael Kamen's score, and the practical stunt and effects work behind the tower — before breaking down the finale, the reception, and the enormous template it set for the genre. Plus the hosts' final verdict and scores. And, yes, the Christmas debate.

Not heard how Gruber takes the building? Part 1 has it all.
