Die Hard (1988)
Join the Born to Watch team as we discuss the 1988 seminal action blockbuster DIE HARD. Starring Bruce Willis, this movie was the one that saw him announce himself to the world and become the biggest star on the planet.
Episode 13 - The action movie that broke the mould, Die Hard is still as good today as it was when it was released in 1988.Spawning four more sequels, the franchise whilst very good never hit the heights of the 1988 original film. Bruce Willis exploded onto the scene after starring in the TV Series Moonlighting with Cybil Shepherd. Willis would then spend the better part of the next 2 decades as part of the Hollywood elite, where movies were green lit (for better or worse) because he was attached.
Alan Rickman in his first major film role turns in a star turn as the villain Hans Gruber, this role would see that if there was a villain role to be filled that his name would come up in discussions.
This is a favourite of the BTW team and it will be interesting to see whether they still hold it as close to their hearts as they did in their teenage years.
Gow treats us to one of the best Kick Arse Credit Songs to be composed so far, although the bar isn't very high to be fair.
