Remember an interview where Alan Rickman said he didn’t approach the role as that of a villain, but rather a person who has a different agenda or point of view that’s in conflict with the other characters; regardless of what his approach was, it clearly worked as to this date Hans Gruber is still one of the most memorable characters in cinema

In my opinion, what makes Die Hard an action movie classic is it's simplicity. Sure it seems like a massive blockbuster, but people seem to forget how small it keeps things. I kinda wish most modern films would be more simple and straightforward, rather than be overblown, CGI heavy, wannabe superhero blockbusters. Also I really like that John McClane isn't some ex-marine, a super soldier Vietnam vet, or a terminator, he's just an off duty police officer who wants to see his wife and kids for the holidays, but needs to fight crime and save the day first. I also think making it a Christmas movie was a great move, artistically. Because not every Christmas movie needs all the cliche conventions like, Santa Claus, snow or all that basic crap we get from normal Christmas specials.

It was Alan Rickman who suggested Hans should wear a fine business suit. Originally the costume department fitting him for body armour when Alan said why would he wear amour the same as his body guards. Its is in one of his interviews.

His dialog about the suits to takagi is both suave and sociopathic given what hes doing

Alan Rickman as a villain absolutely amazing

Great choice for a villian.

Honestly, props to Holly for being the only person capable of getting under Hans’ skin. Even John McClane’s repeated foiling of Hans’ efforts does little more than mildly annoy him. When Holly tells Hans right to his face that he’s little more than a common thief, he snaps. It didn’t matter if Hans had succeeded in stopping John and pulled off his scheme afterwards. In that moment, he lost, pure and simple.

Hans was just TOOOOOOOOOO good !

Hans Gruber has become one of the most iconic villains in film history, often hailed as one of the greatest. Empire magazine ranked Gruber as the 17th Greatest Movie Character of All Time, while John McClane was placed 12th. Additionally, Gruber holds the No. 4 spot on Empire's Greatest Movie Villains of All Time list, surpassed only by Darth Vader, The Joker, and Loki. IGN also recognized Hans Gruber, placing him at #14 on their top 100 villains list. His influence is evident in subsequent movie villains, including Howard Payne in Speed, Cyrus "The Virus" Grissom in Con Air, Eric Qualen in Cliffhanger, and Egor Korshunov in Air Force One. Alan Rickman's portrayal of Gruber marked his first significant film role, cast after producer Joel Silver saw his performance in Les Liaisons Dangereuses on Broadway. Actor Hans Buhringer, who played the criminal Fritz, noted that Rickman meticulously researched to perfect his German accent, successfully mastering the German-English dialect for the film.

Alan Rickman was absolutely superb in this role and a truly wonderful actor, and he is sorely missed!!

Awesome choice for a villain. 👏

Something to think about.: Hans’ plan seems brilliant, until you think about his escape plan. His plan was to escape by driving away in a small ambulance? The small ambulance would’ve been packed up with the bonds. There would only be enough space in the ambulance for Hans and the techie henchman. How would the rest of Hans’ team escape? What if the cops tried to stop the suspicious looking ambulance that came out of nowhere? Did Hans plan to abandon his men and take the bonds for himself? So many questions.

Can you please do Jabba the Hutt
