- Complete Monster: Hans Gruber takes over 30 workers hostage in the Nakatomi Plaza, deviously intending to kill them and escape with millions in the vault's treasury bonds. When a SWAT team is called to stop him, Hans fires heavy weaponry upon them to eliminate the police presence; and when Detective John McClane begins interfering Hans kills a hostage claiming to be John's friend, intent on killing more until John returns his blast detonators. Shooting down a police chopper overhead, Hans kills a hostage for panicking after hearing an explosion and even vindictively kidnaps John's wife to spitefully try and kill both.
- Crazy Is Cool: John McClane may be insane for going up against several armed robbers with his wits and some weapons, but he is definitely a formidable and charismatic character.
