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.
Alan Rickman as a villain absolutely amazing
He was cast after producer Joel Silver, saw his performance in Les Liaisons Dangereuses on Broadway.
Great choice for a villian.
Something the late Alan Rickman (RIP 2016) was exceptionally good with, enduring in his legacy of characters which precedes himself. Remembered by younger generations as Professor Severus Snape in the Harry Potter series.
His dialog about the suits to takagi is both suave and sociopathic given what hes doing
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.
Good point! Often what ticks us off reveals what’s most important to us.
@@inthemindofavillain Yep. Hans’ ego was his downfall. When he has McClane dead to rights at the end (or so he thinks), he gets distracted by his own joke (or, rather, McClane laughing at it) that McClane is able to hide his gun on his back, then shoot Hans’ henchman and Hans himself.
Hans was just TOOOOOOOOOO good !
That role was immortal. He will
Be missed
Now for your next video do Ken from barbie
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.
Awesome choice for a villain. 👏
Can you do other Die Hard Villains
I'd love to see a video on Die Hard 3's Simon. Being that he was Hans' brother, that would be a great follow up to this one.
Indeed, John McClane is even a great selection candidate! Being that, he is ranked 12th by Empire magazine, which places Hans Gruber at the 17th position in the Greatest Movie Character of All Time list. As for another good criminal from Die Hard, Fritz maybe a better choice than the leading hero, who importalised Bruce Willis with the classic line "Yippe Kai-A Moter Truckers"... or words to that effect.
Alan Rickman was absolutely superb in this role and a truly wonderful actor, and he is sorely missed!!
Love it!

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.
Yes wanted it all for himself and his minions didn’t matter as long as they did there job protecting him
Same as in the last Boy Scout epic film the main don didn’t give a fuck about any of his henchmen
