15. Three Playboy Playmates Have Cameos

Believe it or not, Die Hard boasts cameos from three popular Playboy Playmates hidden in plain sight.

First off, the excited young woman who jumps into her lover's arms at the airport - prompting John McClane to sardonically quip, "California..." - is July 1988 Playmate of the Month Terri Lynn Doss.

Secondly, the female Nakatomi Corporation employee who is having sex with a co-worker when Gruber and his terrorists interrupt them is May 1982 Playmate of the Month Kym Malin.

And finally, while not technically an in-the-flesh cameo, November 1987's Playmate of the Month Pamela Stein appears on the pin-up centerfold McClane is briefly distracted by while navigating his way around the tower's vents.
