Roof stunt die hard.

Hans gruber was an internationally feared german terrorist the main antagonist in die hard and a posthumous antagonist in die hard with a vengeance. In terms of the original die hard says mottram the most mind blowing thing was probably the stunt work. It was a quickly. Like the fact that hans gruber s fall from the nakatomi building was actually done for.

The stunt is impressive but it s most memorable because of how scared mcclane is the whole time. While die hard is a total one man army. As he tries to hide viewers can catch willis wearing the foot covers. Die hard s stunts and special effects driven set pieces are especially iconic thanks to mctiernan and his collaborators dedication to realism.

Die hard is a 1988 american action thriller film directed by john mctiernan and written by steven e. 2 alan rickman s falling reaction was genuine. Towards the end of die hard mcclane is caught on the roof by the fbi and is thought to be a terrorist. And the man jumping off the building isn t named john mcclane nor is it actor bruce willis it is.

He was the mastermind behind the nakatomi plaza heist where he used a gang of heavily armed terrorists to take over the company s christmas party and attempt to steal 640 million in negotiable bearer bank bonds inside the building s vault. Of course this isn t reality but the culminating scene in the 1988 christmas action die hard. Director john mctiernan recalled the first time we got to the point in a scene where you would insert a stuntman i told bruce he would only have to take it up to here and he then could go sit down. As a police helicopter tries to take him out and knowing that the roof is rigged to explode mcclane ties a fire hose around his waist and jumps just as the roof blows.

The stunt of the movie has john leaping off the nakatomi tower strapped to a fire hose as the top of the building explodes.
