Detailed item info
Movie description
One of the greatest action movies of the late 1980s, DIE HARD ushered in a new standard for the genre. With the dissolution of the Cold War, both the stereotypical Russian threat (represented in movies such as TOP GUN and RED DAWN) and the destructive egoist (as seen in OCTOPUSSY) became less fearful. With DIE HARD, director John McTiernan introduced Hollywood to a new type of villain: the terrorist entrepreneur. Alan Rickman stars as Hans Gruber, a relentless businessman whose lethal tactics achieve his goals. Unlike most '80s film villains who committed globally dangerous acts for liberty, genocide, or megalomania, DIE HARD's Gruber uses guns, explosives, and cunning to storm the Takagi Corporation's Christmas party and heist millions of dollars from the company. In addition, DIE HARD also saw the development of the clumsy or bad luck hero with John McClane (Bruce Willis), a man in the wrong place at the wrong time who chooses to intervene. Action fans would see this misfit hero archetype again in UNDER SIEGE (Steven Segal) and THE PHANTOM MENACE (Jar Jar Binks). Although DIE HARD contains many action movie cliches (one-liners, pyrotechnics), it also broke new ground in its genre.

Editorial reviews
Rating: A-
Entertainment Weekly - Robin F. Schwartz (11/27/1992)

"...It works....Relentless energy and smashing special-effects extravagance..."
New York Times - Caryn James (07/15/1988)

"...A triumph of well-oiled mechanical precision that performs miracles of destruction. As a grand flourish of cinematic technique, it is awesome..."
Los Angeles Times - Kevin Thomas (07/15/1988)

"...DIE HARD is still the definitive action thriller. Alan Rickman delivers a deliciously ruthless Hollywood debut at the eloquent villain..."
Total Film - Nev Pierce (06/01/2000)

"A seductive mix of machismo and humility, Willis reinvented the reluctant hero for the action age."
Premiere - Premiere Staff (04/01/2004)

Please Read (or at least skim over!) before bidding, asking questions, leaving feedback!

*  MY GOAL - Is to earn your 100% Satisfaction and 5 STAR RATING across the board, no exceptions!  Please be sure to tell me if I made ANY mistake and allow me to correct it before leaving neutral or negative feedback or less than 5 Stars in any category.  Thanks!!  Happy Bidding!!  ;-)  Lory

* THIS IS ONE of endless items!  New, Barely Used, Used.  I save EVERYthing, often buy things & receive gifts that I don't use, or find "treasures" to sell!!  I specialize in nothing!!  This means I don't know stuff about stuff!  I don't know what many things are, who made them, what they're made of, how old they are, etc.  So if you do, you might discover a diamond that I thought was zirconia, an original that I thought was a copy... you know what I mean, especially when it comes to antiques!  Check back often!

* I Have Excellent Feedback & work hard to earn it!!  I try to get decent photos & will describe everything as accurately as possible.  You're welcome & encouraged to ask questions if I miss something you'd like to know!  Ask BEFORE bidding, not after!

* ALL SALES ARE FINAL UNLESS - I accidentally describe or ship the wrong item.  Ask questions before bidding!  Clothes & Shoes may not be returned due to not fitting!

* PACKING - I RECYCLE!  I use anything I can get for packing.  Old boxes, new boxes, no boxes, shoe boxes!  Bubble wrap, shredded paper, I reuse all materials!  Please give me 5 Stars for shipping, not for it being pretty, but for your item arriving safely and me "shipping green"!  Thanks!  (If it needs to be pretty, tell me in advance!!)

* SHIPPING - Some items come with Free Shipping, all others I try to estimate the packed weights accurately so I don't lose money on shipping.  Rarely I may ship with a different service than specified.  I ship every week (Except from Dec.23rd to Jan.2nd, & the 1st 2Wks of May), so you should receive your item within approx. 1 to 2 wks after you've paid.  Please give me 5 stars on shipping since I can't help that the rates keep going up, I've clearly stated my handling time for your consideration before bidding, and I can't control how long the shipping service takes to get your item to you.  Thanks!  (If it gets close to 2 wks, feel free to ask me to check on it for you!)

* INSURANCE- Sometimes required, sometimes included in rates, sometimes optional. Buyer is responsible for lost or damaged items if not insured.  I pack just fine but tossing, dropping, crushing, & loss, does go on!  No negative feedback for me if you didn't get insurance & your item is lost or damaged in transit, it happens!!  SALES TAX - Sales Tax is charged for NC only.

* INTERNATIONAL - 1 item can often go 1st Class, (usually less than priority), multiple items are usually over 1st Class weight limit (4lbs) & have to go Priority. Ask for quote!

* PAYMENT - Please just click the "Pay Now" button when you get the "You've Won" email, it'll give you an invoice.  Please Pay right away, or Communicate about your payment right away, such as if you're bidding on other items that haven't ended yet to have them shipped together to save on shipping.

* FEEDBACK - Please Leave Feedback as soon as you get your item so I know you did!  Due to the uncaring unfairness of a few, I'm now waiting to give positive feedback till after the transaction is complete and I know I've made you happy.   Please base my feedback only on my performance, not the performance of eBay, Pay Pal, or the shipping service.

*  MY GOAL - Is to earn your 100% Satisfaction and 5 STARS across the board, no exceptions!  Please be fair... tell me if I made ANY mistake and allow me to correct it before leaving neutral or negative feedback or less than 5 Stars in any category.  I absolutely care enough to earn ALL Positive Feedbacks and 5 Stars in ALL categories! 

* I Think I've Covered Most Everything - I'm sure I'll make changes as I continue adding items & receive your questions & suggestions!  Happy Bidding!   :-D

My goal is your 100% satisfaction!  That being said, please know this is not a big business... this is a "one woman show"!  Please consider sales final unless I accidently described or shipped you the wrong item.  In that case (my mistake) I'll not only refund your item, I'll refund your shipping, BOTH WAYS, because YOU shouldn't be out ANY money!  And in the same fairness, if I made no mistake, but you did (forgot to ask something or just changed your mind), I'll refund (upon return of item) cost of item only, as in that case it's ME who shouldn't be out any money paying for your shipping either direction (including what it cost me if you got free shipping), Fair enough?!  Please ask questions BEFORE bidding, Thanks!!
The buyer is responsible for return shipping costs.
