Fans are in disbelief at some of the behind the scenes footage from a '10/10' Netflix movie that is the 'new' Die Hard.
The movie cropped up seemingly out of nowhere on Netflix in December last year, just weeks before Christmas left fans stunned with a potential new festive favorite.
The action-packed movie, starring Kingsman actor Taron Egerton, has since been compared to beloved Bruce Willis movie Die Hard, as there are definite similarities between the two, not least of all because they are both set on Christmas Eve.

Carry-On follows the story of Egerton's character, a transportation security agent (TSA) called Ethan Kopek, who is blackmailed by a mysterious traveler, played by Jason Bateman, to allow a dangerous item onto a flight fully-booked with families heading home for the holidays.
The Netflix synopsis of Carry-On reads: "A crowded airport. A dangerous suitcase. A mysterious criminal mastermind."
It continues: "On Christmas Eve, a security officer faces the ultimate travel nightmare."
So far, the movie has an incredible 88 percent Rotten Tomatoes rating with fans gushing on social media over the 'outstanding' production and crowning it '10/10'.
Now, new behind the scenes footage shows the extent the production team and cast really went to in crafting the masterpiece, with some rather hairy moments.
One particular dramatic scene in the movie sees Los Angeles Police Department detective, Elena Cole, played by Danielle Deadwyler, is rushing towards the airport when she realizes the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agent driving her isn't quite who he says he is.
While driving down the highway, the pair struggle in the vehicle which swerves across the carriageway while cars and lorries crash around them.
In the high-stakes scene, Cole and the fraudulent agent are wrestling over a gun as the car slams into traffic either side and the pair attack each other with brutal punches.
Creating this shot was clearly no small feat, as the actors sat in a mock car to a green screen, while a camera swerved around them and other tools were used to simulate shots, such as the window breaking.
The mock car then rotates to emulate the car as it rolls over twice in the film.
Fans of the movie have since praised the 'awesome' scene on social media as evidence of its 'great camera work'.
Writing on Facebook, a fan said: "I loved this scene, I was amazed."
Another chimed: "This was the craziest action sequence in the movie and I liked it. One of the best parts."
"My favorite part of the movie," a third penned, "honestly enjoyed this POV, never seeing the actual outside of the vehicle".
"The greatest scene in cinematic history!" a fourth wrote.
