Cassetteboy remix proves Die Hard is a Christmas movie

Beloved YouTube mash-up artist Cassetteboy has turned his attention to classic action movie Die Hard, creating its very own 12 Days of Christmas.

The Bruce Willis-starrer celebrates its 30th anniversary this year, but the world still can’t seem to agree on whether it’s a Christmas film or not.

Sky Cinema is hoping to settle the matter with a public vote on a dedicated website.

Cassetteboy draws attention to all the references to Christmas in the script, while carving up its dialogue to retell the 12 Days of Christmas.

“I don’t know why we even debate this every year,” said Ian Lewis, Director of Sky Cinema. “Die Hard is the biggest Christmas movie of all time. The proof is all in the script”
