TDW 1271 - Christmas Eve at The Die Hard Building

0:03 welcome everyone Adam the woo here

0:03 Christmas Eve has arrived tomorrow is

0:07 the fantastic day where Santa should

0:11 hopefully if you were a good boy and

0:12 girl left some Christmas presents either

0:16 under your tree or around your fireplace

0:18 and hopefully you have an empty plate

0:21 full of cookie crumbs that the Jolly Old

0:25 bearded man I had a beard a couple days

0:28 ago I was borderline Santa but now that

0:32 I've shaved

0:34 recently you can say that I am not as

0:36 Santa esque as I once was it's my second

0:39 channel daily Vlog channel it's the

0:42 daily woo let's talk about Christmas

0:43 movies yesterday we talked about

0:45 Christmas vacation today we are going to

0:48 talk about what is probably my all-time

0:52 favorite Christmas

0:55 film at least in the action genre I'm

0:59 talking about die hard in fact I love

1:02 that movie so much the Bruce Willis

1:04 classic the sequels not as great as the

1:07 first one but the first one is a

1:11 holiday tradition not tradition because

1:14 I actually watch it all year long I love

1:17 that movie I actually did the filming

1:19 locations for my main Channel I am not

1:22 going to show you all the filming

1:23 locations from die hard because I've

1:26 already done that and you can actually

1:27 watch a very accurate hopefully I think

1:31 it was pretty well done of course I have

1:33 a very jaded perspective of that because

1:36 I actually was the one who put the video

1:37 together on the Adam the woo Channel

1:39 just look up Adam the woo die hard if

1:41 you want to see all the Nitty Gritty of

1:44 that filming location I did probably

1:46 about a year or so ago I put a lot of

1:49 effort into it it's one of those videos

1:51 that really hasn't done super well on

1:53 the Adam the wo Channel but as all the

1:56 filming locations over on that main

1:58 Channel they are all labors

2:00 of

2:01 love and that's what we're talking about

2:04 love and

2:06 Christmas and the best action Christmas

2:08 movie ever made die hard and why not me

2:12 and you vicariously we're all together

2:15 spin Christmas getting a close look at

2:19 this

2:29 sh it's nakat Tomy Tower right there no

2:29 they weren't ter IST I guess they were

2:30 terrorists that took it over but they

2:32 were basically robbers they wanted to

2:34 break into the Vault up there in the

2:38 tower itself and it's actually called

2:40 Fox Plaza and Fox Studios is on the back

2:44 side of it if we were to drive around

2:46 you would see the newly since the movie

2:49 has been made it made entrance to the

2:52 Fox Studios but look at

2:57 this think of all the action that

3:00 happened here in the80s when they were

3:05 filming die

3:07 hard it's beginning to look a lot like

3:11 die hard not the sequels there weren't

3:15 that good but the first one is

3:18 completely a Christmas classic and we're

3:21 going to document it up close on this

3:26 Vlog now please please go watch the the

3:30 woo video my friend Donnie Spielberg and

3:32 I trudged around all of this property

3:36 now you were not allowed to really go on

3:39 the property you're not allowed to film

3:40 on the property or go inside the

3:42 building so I did the best I

3:45 could at least in my opinion I keep

3:48 saying in my opinion because I do not

3:50 want to toot my own horn go over there

3:52 and decide for yourself if I accurately

3:54 portrayed all the filming locations of

3:57 Die Hard not just here but also in all

4:00 the other spots around Greater Los

4:01 Angeles of course the opening reveal of

4:04 nakatomi tower started right down

4:08 here when the car the limo turned right

4:11 around this corner when Ary you're

4:13 pretty fast Argy you're pretty fast Argy

4:17 Bruce Willis and Argy turn this corner

4:21 revealing this look at that and of

4:25 course blowing up on the roof the

4:27 helicopter falling from the roof

4:31 all of that

4:33 happened right here now you're not

4:35 actually

4:36 supposed to film on the property but I'm

4:38 kind of wondering since it is Christmas

4:40 Eve there might not actually be anybody

4:45 on property so we might not we're not

4:47 obviously we're not going to be able to

4:48 get inside the building but we might

4:50 actually be able to walk up to the front

4:53 door there's no harm in that there's no

4:55 harm in walking up to the front door so

4:58 let's go up to the front door of

5:00 nakatomi Plaza and see what happens

5:03 cross your fingers let's have a

5:05 Christmas miracle I know Christmas is

5:07 tomorrow maybe Santa will put a

5:09 Christmas miracle underneath this

5:12 Christmas Eve Vlog and we will get lucky

5:15 enough to actually get a close

5:19 view of nakatomi Plaza which is now Fox

5:23 Plaza and of course the tank in the

5:25 movie was blown up right there all this

5:28 can be seen just by by simply searching

5:30 Adam the woo Die Hard go show that video

5:33 some love as I was let me reiterate

5:35 myself as I was saying that video did

5:38 not really like blow up it did not

5:40 become a hugely popular video it's

5:43 strange how some videos on YouTube get a

5:45 lot of views and other get a few views

5:47 from subscribers and then they kind of

5:49 just kind of diey a little bit they kind

5:51 of just taper off just a tiny bit so I'm

5:53 kind of wondering why the Die Hard video

5:56 really did not kind of like get more

5:59 views than it did so go over there and

6:01 show the dieh Hard video we keep in the

6:03 last couple days we've had a lot of

6:05 issues with these these buttons how many

6:07 times you have to push a button before

6:09 finally they let us cross the road maybe

6:11 they're trying to keep out robbers or

6:14 would be people that are coming in

6:17 trying to actually wreak havoc from

6:19 crossing the

6:21 road okay any second now the there we go

6:25 we actually have the we actually have

6:28 the white

6:30 person there crossing the road who has

6:33 now changed to the

6:35 2019

6:37 18 the little white guy that like runs

6:39 across the road that's the first thing

6:41 you see and then it changes to the red

6:43 hand all of a sudden the guy that's

6:45 walking across the road becomes the

6:47 red-handed wonder if we were caught

6:49 red-handed it's interesting because when

6:51 the people cruised in here they were

6:53 robbers and they could have been caught

6:56 red-handed what color are their hands

6:59 now now I do not know if I'm supposed to

7:00 be walking up here I didn't see any

7:02 signs saying that I wasn't allowed to

7:04 come up here so we're just going to

7:05 wander right down here and of course in

7:07 the movie you know the van pulls in here

7:10 one van goes down the other van

7:13 cruises around this way it says no

7:17 parking here see it says no parking but

7:20 it doesn't say anything about not being

7:22 able to walk oh look at this what do you

7:25 think's down there oh man there's heat

7:27 there's a lot of heat being EX exuded

7:30 from down

7:36 there holy cow that's like Steam and

7:36 heat so basically this is the DI hard

7:39 building right

8:00 here

8:00 of course this is where Reginal V

8:01 Johnson who played the police officer

8:03 drives in does the circle around the

8:06 side right

8:17 there I think that's actually as close

8:17 as we're going to get there's actually a

8:19 security officer over there and I could

8:21 tell by the way he actually is looking

8:24 he's giving me the creeper peepers and I

8:26 can tell don't C he's saying in his mind

8:29 he's mind melding with him with me

8:31 saying do not show your face on this

8:33 property so I'm going to be respectful

8:35 do not walk up to the front door but

8:37 take a look at this the dieh hard

8:39 building here in Century City

8:51 California I love that movie and a lot

8:51 of people say that's not a Christmas

8:52 movie why do you keep saying that's a

8:53 Christmas movie but I think it is a

8:55 Christmas movie because it was set on

8:57 Christmas Eve it was set on the the

8:59 holiday season of Christmas which is

9:01 crazy to think because if this was if

9:04 Die Hard was happening now today today

9:08 that van would have pulled right in here

9:12 driven

9:13 down driven down to the delivery

9:17 area and then the other two guys would

9:19 have pulled in and of course gone in and

9:22 shot the main guy in the

9:25 lobby starting the

9:28 entire the entire movie basically

9:30 started right in here so basically this

9:33 is it a DI hard building so

9:45 cool it's funny there's actually a

9:45 couple other people who have videos

9:47 online that actually tried to get up to

9:49 the front of the Die Hard building and

9:51 they were definitely halted they were

9:54 definitely halted kind of a rude manner

9:56 which obviously it's private property

9:58 you do not want to actually to go inside

9:59 the building they have security measures

10:01 which is totally understandable in this

10:03 day and age with buildings but take one

10:05 good last look at the dieh Hard

10:09 building happy Christmas Eve I hope you

10:12 guys have a great night tonight with

10:14 friends or family or if you're by

10:16 yourself I hope it's a good one and I

10:18 hope tomorrow morning when you wake up

10:20 you are blessed not only with either

10:23 presence but just blessed with the

10:24 feeling of Christmas and the whole

10:28 exuberance that actually is going to

10:30 happen tonight and tomorrow in this

10:31 whole holiday season I'll see you guys

10:34 later love you guys goodbye
