And 20th Century Fox is releasing a special, holiday-themed, limited edition Blu-ray and Christmas card set just in time to cash in celebrate. Was anyone still debating that this is a Christmas movie? It takes place on Christmas Eve, they’re attending an office Christmas party, McClane’s estranged wife is named Holly…the signs were all there, what else did they have to do to make you see? Get it together, people.
If anyone in your life still remains unconvinced, this extra festive re-cut of the original trailer should put to rest any dissent you’ve been hearing about the jingly status of Die Hard. And quashing dissent is really what Christmas is all about. So, for the last time, John McClane was just your average cop wanting to spend some quality time with his family over Christmas and, via the antics of one very tricksy Hans Gruber, taught us the true meaning of Christmas: explosions.
