There’s a scene in “Die Hard” (released in July of 1988, therefore, NOT a Christmas movie), when Sgt. Al Powell encounters the dirty doorman at the Nakatomi Plaza. The shifty terrorist tries to get rid of the police presence by kicking back and watching a basketball game, presumably the Lakers, and whines that he has “50 bucks on those @##%&^%.”
It’s not going well for the doorman. But wait until he sees what’s in store for him anyway.
Now, granted, there is a list of unrealistic turns to come in that film, least of which is believing a corporation would host its company Christmas party on Christmas Eve.
