When Takagi first appears on screen around 2 mins, 15 sec into the movie the string quartet is playing Bach's Brandenberg Concerto No. 3 (Allegro). In movie time, 11 minutes later, when Ellis is snorting a rail before getting introduced to McClane, the quartet is still playing this exact movement. Accounting for - optimisitically - a 30 minute limo ride from LAX to Nakatomi, this would make for a repetitous party soundtrack. Less egregiously, around 14.5 minutes into the movie when McClane and Holly are chatting in the bathroom, Beethovans Ode to Joy starts. This same classical diddy is still playing over 9 minutes later when Hans and the boys step out of the elevator and start blasting. Again, an unrealistic representation of two of the masterpieces of classical music.
