Where to stream Die Hard, the best Christmas movie, in Canada

It’s a debate as old as time: is Die Hard a Christmas movie?

Now, we’re not here to argue (it’s indisputably a Christmas movie since the entire story, themes, dialogue and music all revolve around the holiday), but instead, we just want to celebrate that it’s a damn good movie to watch at any time, especially during Christmastime.

With that in mind, we’ve rounded up where you can stream the 1988 Bruce Willis classic action flick in Canada. It’s actually pretty straightforward; since Disney owns Fox, Die Hard is streaming in Canada on Disney+ under the Star banner. It’s even got 4K support, to boot.

What’s more, Die Hard 2, Die Hard: with a Vengeance and Live Free or Die Hard are also all streaming on Disney+. Amusingly, A Good Day to Die Hard, the series’ most recent entry, is not on the Disney service, which is fitting since it’s widely regarded to be the worst Die Hard.

So if you’re someone who needs to see Alan Rickman’s Hans Gruber fall from the Nakatomi Plaza to properly celebrate the Christmas spirit, then Disney+ has got you covered.

Bruce Willis movie set burns

Bruce Willis rushed to the set of his new movie when he heard a five-story building used to shoot ‘Die Hard 5’ in Budapest, accidentally burst into flames.

The incident took place on Thursday (05.07.12) as Bruce reprises his famous John McClane character, reports website RadarOnline.

Bruce was apparently taking the afternoon off at hotel but received a phone call because the building where they planned to shoot for the next five days, was burning.

Sources explained that the property was constructed out of wood especially for the shoot, and a fire was supposed to break out in the lobby just as a helicopter was about to land.

Bruce’s stunt double was working and when the helicopter attempted to land, blades estimated to be about 200 ft. in circumference, fanned the fire and caused flames to spread.

The stunt double narrowly escaped injury and fire brigades from the surrounding areas appeared on the scene to try to contain the blaze.

The actor arrived just moments after the blaze started and attempted to help salvage equipment and cameras that were in danger of being destroyed.

His daughter Rumer was recently sent into a panic after her dog, Indy Blue, went missing.

He also recently learned that his other child with Demi Moore, Tallulah Willis, could be caught up in a nude photograph scandal.
