The Jameson Cult Film Club pulled out all the stops for its explosive double screening of the 1988 action classic DIE HARD. Following on from the successful screening of the gritty Irish crime flick INTERMISSION back in June, organisers treated ticket holders to an exclusive viewing experience at Dublin’s Tivoli Theatre, which was completely transformed into the foyer of Nakatomi Plaza for the evening.

The crowd were completely immersed in the film from the moment they arrived as sirens and police cars barricaded the entrance while LAPD’s finest Sergeant Al Powell interacted with the gathering crowd and offered words of support to John McClane on the police radio.

Once inside characters from the movie led by Hans Gruber used props and themed special effects to act out key scenes in front of the audience including Marco’s body falling from the roof onto Al’s police car, shards of ‘glass’ and ‘debris’ landing on the audience during one of the bigshoot out scenes.

Enjoying the Jameson Cult Film Club experience were rugby player Mike McCarthy, Devon Toner as well as David Coffey, Aidan Power, Dermot Whelan and Lottie Ryan.  Following the screening, the party continued in true Jameson style with guests tucking into ‘Yippee-Ki-Yay Burgers’ and Jameson, Ginger and Lime long drinks while DJ Aidan Kelly took to the decks.

Following on from the infamous Danny DeVito ‘TrollFoot’ appearance at the last Jameson Cult Film Club screening in February, organisers were challenged with transporting the audience right into the world of the comedy-crime caper Intermission for an unforgettable viewing experience and ticket holders were not left disappointed.

Attendees were instructed to meet at a secret Docklands venue, which had been completely transformed into the movie’s Mega Mart. To ensure the crowd were completely immersed in the film from the moment they arrived, masked men interacted with the queuing crowd from their car as they tried to case the joint.

Enjoying the Jameson Cult Film Club experience was the movie’s line producer Des Martin who was joined by renowned film director Jim Sheridan. Following the screening, the party continued in true Jameson style with guests tucking into ‘LehiffBurgers’ and Jameson, Ginger and Lime long drinks while DJ Aidan Kelly took to the decks playing songs from the soundtrack including Colin Farrell’s rousing rendition of ‘I Fought the Law’.
