20 Things You Somehow Missed In Die Hard

1. We Don't Clap Here

At the outset of the film, the Yuletide spirit is getting underway at Nakatomi's corporate Christmas party.

Joseph Yoshinobu Takagi addresses his colleagues at the party and informs them of what a successful year the company has had.

The shot then focuses on the crowd on the 30th floor atrium and, even though the sound effects portray Takagi's colleagues as being celebratory and overjoyed, the office workers that the audience sees are nothing of the sort. In fact, they seem to be behaving very soberly at an office party (all except for Hart Bochner's Harry Ellis, of course, who is looking for his next fix of cocaine).

I started writing for WhatCulture in July 2020. I have always enjoyed reading and writing. I have contributed to several short story competitions and I have occasionally been fortunate enough to have my work published. During the COVID-19 lockdown, I also started reviewing films on my Facebook page. Numerous friends and contacts suggested that I should start my own website for reviewing films, but I wanted something a bit more diverse - and so here I am! My interests focus on film and television mainly, but I also occasionally produce articles that venture into other areas as well. In particular, I am a fan of the under appreciated sequel (of which there are many), but I also like the classics and the mainstream too.
