Which guy?

There ya go.

Which guy?

The American dude that mans the front desk when Al first shows up to investigate ("I got $50 bet on them assholes").

 

[Carlo_M]

Hans believed in the Power of Love. Or he needed a New Drug. Not sure which.

The American dude that mans the front desk when Al first shows up to investigate ("I got $50 bet on them assholes").

So as I was reading your post, that line came on in the movie. True story.

 

[Scott Merryfield]

Great, I'm going to go to my grave seeing that guy as Huey Lewis now.

Every time we watch the film, I say to my wife "there's the guy who looks like Huey Lewis". So it's not just me -- glad to know.

BTW, when "Huey" is watching the USC - Notre Dame football game I get irritated every time, too. Those two teams never played on Christmas Eve -- their annual rivalry game would have been played before Thanksgiving.

He should have known the outcome of the game, so I don't feel sorry if he loses $50. USC and Notre Dame played every year before Thanksgiving weekend. (See my other post).

If you want to make a great movie, the surrounding actors are just as important as the principal actors. That's why Geordie from Star Trek TNG, Huey Lewis, and Fabio all make Snape's goon squad.

On that note, what business has a Christmas party on Christmas eve?

Yes, another faux pas in the film. Only a company run by Ebeneezer Scrooge would make its employees stick around late on Christmas Eve.

 

[Carlo_M]

A Japanese one that doesn't know the conventions and is driven by corporate greed. No early time off, you gotta be working! Which is why Hans, Geordie, Huey and Fabio had to teach them a lesson.

 

[George_W_K]

Which guy?

The guy that takes over the front desk.

 

[Mike Frezon]

The last dozen posts of this thread made me LOL today!

If this is it...

 

[Neil S. Bulk]

I wonder if he thinks Die Hard is just too darn loud.

Grabbed my copy of Die Hard on 4K for $19.98

Ah, but they are not teaching them a lesson -- they are just a bunch of thieves. Not common thieves, but according to Hans Gruber, "exceptional thieves".

 

[Lord Dalek]

An exceptional thief could tell the difference between John Wayne and Gary Cooper.

 

[Johnny Angell]

One of the greatest Christmas films of all time.

I am glad you settled this. I can now tell my wife that DH belongs in our yearly Xmas rotation. I’ve already told her multiple times, but now she’s gotta believe.

I've seen this movie enough times to get this joke, but not enough times to come up with it myself.

It really upsets me that they are not including the 4K on blu ray. Not everyone has a 4K UHD blu ray player yet. I do have a UHD TV but the player will have to wait for the Holidays, and alot of it has to do with my Blu Ray player. I have a Sony that had the player and the surround sound system all in one, and it would mean I have to get a seperate sound system as well as the player. They should always use the new 4K master for the Blu if they include a Blu.
