#BROOKLYN 99 TELL ME WHY MOVIE#
Jake: “ Die Hard is the best cop movie of all time. Our first look at Jake’s Die Hard obsession arrives through an ode to John McClane’s accessorising: wearing his badge on a chain. Here is a comprehensive list of every single time Die Hard is referenced in Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Sure, he hasn’t put his name forward for a cameo yet, but maybe that’s because he hasn’t seen the supporting evidence.īruce, I’ve got your back. And after repeat viewings of Brooklyn Nine-Nine, I’ve decided Bruce Willis needs to understand it, too. I understand Jake’s obsession with the films. When I finally got around to watching Die Hard one Christmas (because it is most definitely a Christmas movie), it ticked all the boxes. Personally, I’m a strong advocate for any film with plenty of action sequences, eternally quotable one-liners and a relatively ordinary person doing something extraordinary. It’s a fair obsession to have given the enormous success of the franchise. If that isn’t next-level dedication, I don’t know what is. The guy wears his badge on a chain to be more like John McClane. Has a character ever loved Die Hard as much as Detective Jake Peralta? Short answer: no.
