Yippie-Ki-Yay, Motherfucker!
What's not well-known is that Willis suffered major hearing loss during the filming of Die Hard. It happened while they were filming the table scene in which he shoots one of the bad guys from beneath a table. John McTiernan wanted the shots and explosions to sound really loud. That's why he had the actors use some extra loud blanks. Unfortunately for Willis, the gun was too close to his left ear when he "shot" the bad guy. This accident left him almost deaf.
