Heroic Self-Deprecation: For all his successes in overcoming hostile situations, John considers heroism to be overrated compared to a stable family life, only saving people's lives because he thinks it's the right thing to do. Surrounded by Idiots: Hans is (in his own words) an exceptional thief, but his henchmen are less so. Karl and Marco both pass up excellent chances to kill McClane (Karl due to it being personal and Marco due to Bond Villain Stupidity), which later causes the whole plan to become undone.

The McClane Family

The Hero: Despite being an Anti-Hero, a major part of McClane's character is that he's less interested in defeating his opponents than protecting innocent people and preventing major disasters. In the first film, he repeatedly gives his opponents chances to surrender, and wants the LAPD to take over and find a solution to the conflict that won't end with a pile of bodies. He only takes action when there are no other options. Hans: Still a cowboy, Mr McClane. Americans, all the same. Well, this time John Wayne does not walk into the sunset with Grace Kelly. Pre-Mortem One-Liner: John has made a smart-ass remark before assassinating his enemies on more than one occasion, notably wishing Hans Gruber a "happy trails" after shooting him out the window.

Well-Intentioned Extremist: Hilariously subverted. He pretends to be this for the purposes of the heist, which results in him almost gleefully bullshitting the police and FBI with a fake Motive Rant while he's trying to stall for time and demanding the release of several imprisoned members of terrorist organizations, including one called "Asian Dawn" that he flat-out admits to Karl he read about in TIME Magazine and might not even exist.
