'Lets drop the actor', haha. Alan: you're the sexiest man ever to fall from such a hight !

[quebecross]

Cool...thanks for posting...I love Die Hard and Alan Rickman!

According to the BTS information I have gathered from the first Die Hard movie. The expression on Alan Rickman's face as he was falling was real, not pre-acted. Rickman didn't know what the stunt coordinators were going to do as he was hanging from a waste harness, unbeknownst to Rickman they cut the harness wire.

HANS Booooby.... I'm your white knight. *90's yuppy smile*

40 feet = 12+ metres = a very high fall. This guy had balls to say the least

[archeyangel1]

He's still EPIC even though he's older (think of Deathly Hallows Part 1 and 2 ;) )

Ya know, I like Alan Rickman too, (Obviously, that's why I'm here,) but fuck's sake. You could have Alan Rickman on screen taking a dump, and you'd have half a dozen women going "OMG! HE'S THE SEXIEST MAN TO EVER MAKE A BOWEL MOVEMENT!" Give it a rest already, yeesh.

I've always wondered how they did that:)

@alanthe2 i know its just always strange to see a actor as young and old, but it looks like he is still happy even as old

[tayuyajen95]

[alanthe2]

@taiamon because it is 23 years later, thats a significant period of time.

[xRemixHD]

[taiamon]

[shadowwarrior120100]

Does anyone know the gun he is holding I can't quite figure it out =P

[NickFury182]

and Michael Gambon knows how Alan feels to fall from a great height

[WastedPo]

I always wondered how they got that shot at the end with Grueber falling to look so real. Now I know. It *was* real.

[jaibhakti]

He is SO brilliantly funny and lovable and kind.

I can't wait to watch Die Hard again.

I remember hating his character so much! haha...what a great actor, because he seems like such a sweatheart in person!

Thanks for posting these wonderful videos.
