Side Bet: In the scene where Hans interrogates Mr. Takagi, Theo says "Told you" and Karl replies "It's not over yet" when Takagi won't talk. When Hans shoots Takagi, Karl hands Theo a bill. John McClane falls down a shaft and grabs the edge of an air vent. Instead of just broken fingers, he gets an acceptable break because he's in an action movie. note Turns out the air vent grab was due to a mistake by the stuntman. Left in invoked because it looks cool, nothing is said on whether the stuntman got bashed up. Villain Ball: Hans initially only sends Tony to investigate the fire alarm.

Good Guns, Bad Guns: The terrorists mainly wield MP5s (aside from Karl with his Steyr AUG). John mainly wields a Beretta 92F pistol, the SWAT team carries M16 rifles, and Sgt. Powell carries a Smith & Wesson 15, showing him as the straight-laced cop to John's Cowboy Cop. Faking the Dead: Hans ultimately plan surrounded this and blowing out the roof with all the hostages. With all the chaos, damage, and bodies to shift through, nobody will believe they actually got away. FBI Agent: Agents Johnson and Johnson take over the law enforcement response to the takeover and, as Al Powell says, "They've got the universal terrorist playbook and they're running it step by step." This plays right into the hands of Hans Gruber, who takes advantage of their tactics to break into the vault. The agents then try to slaughter the terrorists while risking the hostages' lives and get blown up by a terrorist trap. Long before he's managed a single scheme?" Hans obviously has big-time capital well before Nakatomi: the weapons, the personnel, and even his own sartorially-resplendent self could not have come cheap. There's no way this is his first time at the rodeo. Come with Me If You Want to Live: John says this to Hans in the scene where the latter poses as a hostage.

Billionaire Wristband: Holly Gennaro receives a gold wristwatch upon being promoted to the Nakatomi Corporation's executive board. Office weasel Harry Ellis sniffs, "Of course, it's a Rolex." This watch proves to be a Chekhov's Gun during the climactic scene.

John's estranged wife has reverted to her Gennaro surname, but she casually switches to McClane when she reconnects with him. rd floor: Under construction, Alexander (one of the terrorists) stationed here, he and James are killed here. A Million Is a Statistic: Financial variation. Hans attempts to persuade Takagi to give up the code by saying that the bearer bonds he wants are only worth a few days worth of capital, a small amount of money that can be easily recouped by a massive company like Nakatomi and would only be a small inconvenience. Professionals Do It on Desks: Two employees of Nakatomi are going at it on a desk when Hans Gruber's boys show up and drag them out with the rest of the hostages.

McClane himself is made more sympathetic. He's not misogynistic the way Leland is in the book, and McClane mostly kills only in self-defense, while Leland executes captured terrorists simply because he thinks they are about to try and lecture him on the righteousness of their cause. Karl's brother being killed is a deliberate choice by Leland in the book, while in the film it's more accidental due to him trying to overpower McClane. More importantly, McClane's actions save everyone on the roof, so it's clear McClane's involvement is a good thing and unambiguously heroic. In the book, it's never entirely clear if Leland's actions didn't end up making things worse. Argyle. After spending most of the film trapped in the garage, he manages at the end to ram the ambulance driven by Theo and then punch him out. When the trouble starts, does McClane immediately rise to the occasion? No, he spends much of the first part of the movie trying to call for help. In fact, once the police actually arrive, he spends the next 20 minutes of the movie not doing much of anything (the greatest danger he gets into is trying to eat an old Twinkie). He knows he is on the wrong side of a losing equation, and the only reason he takes on the terrorists is that he needs to protect himself and the police are too incompetent. Hell, the very first thing he does after grabbing his gun is run away! The Easy Way or the Hard Way: Hans threatens Takagi in this manner, then shoots him and says, "We'll do it the hard way." Mooks: Surprisingly averted. Anybody who gets killed in the film is either given a personality or is, at least, shown to be quite good with a pistol/rifle.Hostage Situation: Subverted. The entire hostage situation is choreographed to provide cover for the real crime, a massive robbery. The FBI's response, to shut down the power, is exactly what they wanted.

I figured since I've waxed Tony and Marco and his friend here, I figured you and Karl and Franco might be lonely so I wanted to give you a call." Incredibly Obvious Bomb: The C4 bomb John discovers on the roof has a red blinking light and an audible beeper. Reality Has No Subtitles: The German "terrorists" speak to each other in German on multiple occasions without any translation for the audience.

Lawful Stupid: Except for Sgt. Al Powell, every LAPD officer, as well as FBI special agents Johnson and Johnson (no relation), is unhelpful to John McClane in his efforts to stop Hans Gruber, who takes complete advantage of their stupidity. Foreshadowing: "Glass? Who gives a shit about glass?!" You will, John, after someone shoots out a window and you have to run across it barefoot... Holly McClane: After all your posturing, all your little speeches, you're nothing but a common thief. Averted with Ellis' death. We get a nice (although slightly blurred) view of the exit wound on his head, and it isn't pretty. Hollywood Police Driving Academy: Al's driving abilities are called into question by John. To be fair, though, Al doesn't completely trash his police car, and much of the damage it sustains is done under fire and just after a body has been dropped on it.
