Wissenswertes
The fictional Nakatomi Plaza is the headquarters of 20th Century Studios, so the studio could use one of its own buildings and didn't have to hold back on stunts and action sequences. While Jeb Stuart was writing the screenplay, he did a tour of the building, and immediately incorporated some of the locations and objects he found there into his script as set pieces (such as the cart that McClane and Karl end up riding during their fight). The company charged itself rent for the use of the then-unfinished building. Some of the middle floors were occupied by legal and administrative departments, so only empty floors were used for filming. Still, the filming of scenes that involved gunfire had to be postponed until after hours because some of the employees from the active floors started to complain about the noise.

Patzer
Several times during transmissions with the two-way radios, characters interrupt each other, which would be impossible given the type of radios they were using.

Zitate
John McClane: [huddled in an air vent, recalls his wife's invitation] "Come out to the coast, we'll get together, have a few laughs..."

Crazy Credits
In the widescreen version, the 20th Century Fox logo is stretched.

Alternative Versionen
The Ultimate edition DVD contains the following deleted/extended scenes:
Extended power shutdown sequence.
Extended opening flight scene.
Brief dialogue in the first Hans/McClane confrontation.
Extended scene where Robinson/Powell brief the FBI on the tower situation.

Extended/alternate dialogue in McClane/Powell conversation after McClane uses the plastic explosives.
Brief scene of FBI agents getting stuck in thorn bushes as they make their way towards the building.
At the end, McClane says "You got a warranty for this (Holly's watch, a gift from Nakatomi Corporation)?" to which Holly laughs.
Argyle's dialogue as Powell's police cruiser flies by in the background.
Brief Ellis dialogue reacting to the terrorist intrusion.
City engineer briefly coughs before pulling out the power cord.

Ladies and gentleman, Mr.Bruce Willis, Movie Star

DIE HARD (1988) **** Bruce Willis, Alan Rickman, Bonnie Bedelia, Alexander Godunov, Reginald Vel Johnson, William Atherton, Paul Gleason, Hart Bochner, Robert Davi. NYC cop John McClane (Willis in his star-making iconic role) is visiting LA at Christmas to reconnect with his estranged wife Bedelia who is at an office party that becomes a nightmare when a group of terrorists take over the building led by Hans Gruber (perfect Rickman) a German nutjob out to filch millions in bonds in the vault of the Japanese company. As the " fly in the ointment", Willis does his damnedest to stop him at all costs relying on his street-smarts and out-guessing as time ticks away. Great blend of action suspense and much welcomed humor. Best bit: Willis plunging from a rooftop attack by the FBI (thinking the disheveled cop is one of the bad guys!) attached to a fire hose and shooting his way into an empty office! Hair-raising and exhilirating fun for all. "Yippiee-Kay-Ay !!!!" (Dir: John McTiernan)
