Die Hard is the ideal 1980s action film, one that has defined several tropes throughout the past few decades. The film has even spawned its own sub genre of copycats, with the latest being Dwayne Johnson's Skyscraper, which just hit theaters last weekend.
Since the film has gained its status as a classic, a debate has always been stirring questioning whether Die Hard is a Christmas movie or not. The majority of fans have joined the former camp, claiming that its setting and themes of family have a huge influence on its identity. During the taping of comedy Central's Bruce Willis roast, the action star had something to say about the matter.
Towards the end of the taping, Willis took a chance to address the fans, specifically stating that “Die Hard is not a Christmas movie, it's a goddamn Bruce Willis movie,” adding more fire to the famous debate in front of the live audience. When approached later on, the star was asked how he thinks fans would respond to the statement. He simply said “We’ll see.”
