A brand new RiffTrax Presents starring Matthew J. Elliot!



Only one film dared to confront the twin menaces facing America during the 1980s—terrorism and aggressive male-pattern baldness—and that film is Die Hard. So it's fortunate that I'm writing about that particular movie, or something would seem to have gone terribly, terribly wrong—like an emu wearing a Stetson, or anything involving Tom Green.

This fearless fly-on-the-wall documentary charts the everyday struggles of vest-wearing cop John McClane, a man who swears like a longshoreman with tourettes and who, we imagine, has real problems getting insurance coverage for any aspect of his life, since he can't seem to walk across the street to use the automatic teller without becoming involved in some sort of automatic weapon-related unpleasantness.

When Alan Rickman takes John's annoying big-haired wife hostage, only one response is appropriate. But instead of sitting on the couch in his underwear, scratching himself and watching Phil Donahue, McClane improbably decides to rescue her. And the surprises don't end there! Unless you've seen any action movie made since Die Hard, in which case, they pretty much do.

Great!  I am a big fan of his previous efforts!

Sure, 3 days after I delete all the individual files from my Riff Raff Theater reauthor.  Hooray timing!!  Looking forward to it.

Whoa, out of the blue one (at least for me).

Sample looked pretty funny . A lot of dead air, but this is the first single-riffer sample I've heard so maybe that's normal. And the stuff that's there is really funny. I may just give this one a try.

If the dead air thing bothers you... then you might have issues with his riffs. He's not a rapid-fire sort of riffer. All of his previous riffs were pretty representative of how this one sounds. Personally I've never had any issues with his riffing style, but there are some who might have a problem with it in that respect.

I can promise you that this is my most Riff-intensive commentary to date - the recording studio in Manchester had to keep an oxygen cannister on hand for some sequences (although it may have been helium - does it seem like my voice gets higher near the end?) If the sample doesn't reflect this, it's only because I thought it was necessary to select a two-minute sequence without any cussing, and, as you'd expect, in a Die Hard movie, that's a ****ing nightmare. I hope you enjoy it.

Into my shopping cart you go!

Now there are two cuts of this movie, is this the cut with the extended sewer traversing scene?

Probably the regular version.. I used the 'extended' sewer version with RRT's and it threw it way off..

EDIT: Confirmed.. Do Not Use the Extended Sewer version.

Very cool....  I loved your previous stuff and look forward to this one as well. Yippe kiya and all that good stuff.

[Thrifty]

Wow.  55 Chapter stops.  New record.  Now I'm glad this is a Rifftrax Presents offering so I don't have to add in all the chapter stop subtitles.
