For this reason, during the filming of "Die Hard", the director could not delete the scenes of Rickman's reaction after the gun.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >6, driving too "cautiously"</h1>
When Rickman was filming in California, he wanted to take a local driver's license for the convenience of travel, and as a result, at the time of the test, the examiner refused to issue a driver's license on the grounds that "when crossing the green light, driving too carefully". It turned out that Rickman had driven too slowly for safety.
