Conveniently Empty Building: Nobody is in the building except the folks partying on Holly's floor. Justified, since the building is still under construction, and even in the finished areas, it's after business hours on Christmas Eve. Villains Out Shopping: Hans tells the hostages that Mr. Takagi is dead while helping himself to the party buffet. Later, just before fighting the SWAT team, Uli sneaks a candy bar from the concession stand he is covering behind. Incidentally, these were both moments the actors themselves contributed. invoked Yiddish as a Second Language: Ellis very famously calls Hans Gruber " bubby", short for " bubalah", a term of endearment. The line was ad-libbed by Hart Bochner, who is Jewish. That said, Ellis also casually drops an anti-Semitic slur in the same scene, so it's unlikely that the character is Jewish. Robinson saves Leland's life in the book, but in the film, aside from a few moments of clarity, he is mostly obstructive and rude. Alarm SOS: John tries to get help to fight the terrorists by pulling the fire alarm, but the terrorists respond by calling 911 and telling them that it's a false alarm.

The Glomp: At the airport, John McClane watches as a young lady in the airport runs over to a man who is ostensibly her boyfriend, jumps up, wraps herself around him, and kisses him passionately. McClane initially has a shoulder holster for his Beretta 92F service pistol but he leaves it behind in the bathroom when the terrorists storm the building and spends the rest of the movie carrying his handgun in his pants. This is a highly impractical way to carry a large bulky pistol like the 92F.Incredibly Obvious Bomb: The C4 bomb John discovers on the roof has a red blinking light and an audible beeper. Safe Behind the Corner: The cop who is called in to investigate the public disturbance, walks down the hallway but stops before reaching the corner behind which one of the baddies is hiding. When Tony is slowly trying to disable the phone lines electronically, Karl simply walks by, cuts through the lines instead with a chainsaw, and walks away pleased with himself. Blatant Lies: "I promise I won't hurt you," as Tony is stalking McClane with a submachine gun. A moment later he opens fire on where he thinks John is hiding.

Ellis: Hey, what am I, a method actor, Hans? Babe, put away the gun. This is radio, not television. Downplayed by McClane in this movie. He is a bloody mess that is visibly worn out by the end of the film but on the other hand, he probably should be dead several times over. Every other movie in the series has him play this straight, and the degree to which he is made of iron increases in each successive sequel. invoked Cop Killer: The terrorists slaughter the SWAT team sent to storm the building and later kill the FBI agents on a helicopter after trying to blow the roof up with all the hostages on it. McClane is distracted by other matters during the second, but he takes the first one hard. Shoot Him, He Has a Wallet!: Al Powell shot a kid who brandished a toy gun, which Powell mistook for a real one. The guilt from this incident led him to be unable to draw his gun on anyone else, so he was relegated to desk work.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.
