30-Second Bunnies Die Hard

Jennifer Shiman's 30-Second Bunnies Theatre puts the silly to Bruce Willis' 1988 action film Die Hard.

A little Hollywood history: way, waaay back in the 1980's, Bruce Willis was a smirking private detective opposite Cybill Shepherd on television's Moonlighting. Then came 1988's live-action flick Die Hard. This action flick not only turned Willis into a credible action star (at least until Hudson Hawk), but introduced Hollywood to one of its favourite villains, Alan Rickman. Rickman's protrayal of high-tech thief Hans Gruber put him at #46 of the American Film Institute's "100 Best Heroes/Villains" in movie history.

In honour of Willis' current attempt to revitalize the franchise with this summer's Live Free or Die Hard, Jennifer Shiman's 30-Seconds Bunnies Theatre has put their own spin on the first (and, so far, best) flick. Everything is here, including a bunny Hans Gruber, random silliness and Bruce Willis' immortal catch-phrase (every 1980's action star had to have one): "Yippie-ki-yay, M*****f****r."

Fun Fact 1: Willis' famous line is usually overdubbed for television as "Yippie-ki-yay, Melon Farmer" or "Yippie-ki-yay, Mr. Falcon."
