20 Things You Somehow Missed In Die Hard

15. The Empty Truck

Die Hard Missed
20th Century Fox

In the opening minutes of the film, the supposed terrorists disembark from a Pacific Courier truck in the underground parking garage of the Nakatomi Plaza. The film shows the truck to be quite empty when they have left it.

However, later in the film, whilst Hans Gruber and his men are planning their daring escape from the building, an ambulance is shown being unloaded down a ramp from the same truck.

As well as being a master planner, Gruber must also be something of a magician, as the van does not leave the parking garage to be able to collect their intended getaway vehicle.

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.
