Car Fu: Argyle, the limousine driver, is oblivious to the hostage situation for half of the movie and useless for most of the rest, but in the last 15 minutes or so, he slams his limo into the getaway vehicle, trapping it against the wall of the garage and preventing Theo from escaping. Probably the most notable is McClane and Powell trading anecdotes as McClane pulls glass out of his feet. 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. I Need a Freaking Drink: Argyle is mixing a drink when the news report comes on about the hostage crisis. When he hears it's taking place right above him at Nakatomi Tower, he takes a drink right from the bottle.Improbable Cover: McClane builds a homemade bomb and tosses it down an elevator shaft. When it goes off, a blast of fire shoots upward toward him. He survives by stepping to the side of the door. Darkened Building Shootout: A few of them within unfinished sections of the Plaza, especially when the power is cut. John McClane: Mayday, mayday! Anyone copy in channel 9? Terrorists have seized the Nakatomi building and are holding at least 30 people hostage! I repeat, unknown number of terrorists, six or more armed with automatic weapons, at Nakatomi Plaza, Century City. Somebody answer me, goddamn it! Indestructible Edible: John finds a Twinkie that he says is years old and asks what they're made of. In the climax, Hans keeps the last Mook standing from shooting John right away by saying "Nein! Dies ist mein," which translates to "No! This one is mine."

Come with Me If You Want to Live: John says this to Hans in the scene where the latter poses as a hostage. Nuclear Candle: John is advancing in a ventilation shaft, illuminating his way with a Zippo. The light provided is, however, more akin to a searchlight than to a small flame. The mooks searching for him spot the glow from the opening and use it to hunt him down. Ellis is perfectly willing to sell McClane out to Hans ( though it's because he thinks McClane is putting him and all the other hostages at risk) but he lies to Hans that McClane is an old friend of his and doesn't reveal Holly is McClane's wife. Of course, Hans still kills him. Spanner in the Works: Hans' entire plan might very well have worked if not for the unforeseen complication of a New York cop escaping the initial takeover. Whilst on the radio, John lampshades this directly when asked by Hans Gruber who he is: "Just a fly in the ointment, Hans. The monkey in the wrench. The pain in the ass." Armed Altruism: Seeing through Hans' charade, John pretends to be doing this when he gives him a gun.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! Spell My Name With An S: Holly's maiden name of Gennero is usually seen spelled with two Es, though it is spelled "Gennaro" on the computer at the beginning of the film (though it changes to the other spelling when John selects it) and in the credits.

Avenging the Villain: Karl's prime motivation for killing McClane is to avenge his brother's death at McClane's hands early in the film. Hans Gruber: Touching, Cowboy, touching. Or should I call you, Mr. McClane? Mr. Officer John McClane of the New York Police Department? Bond Villain Stupidity: Karl has a gun pointed at John. He could have easily shot him any time, instead John managed to disarm him and engage in hand-to-hand combat. Why? Karl thought he'd make John die slowly and painfully. The Only One: McClane is in the building seeing everything up-close, so he is able to respond to the criminals effectively. However, the authorities have their playbook and go through it step-by-step — despite it becoming increasingly obvious that the criminals have read that playbook and either respond with a specific countermeasure or integrate it into their plans. Hollywood CB: Averted with McClane's talks with Powell which are perfectly audible to the terrorists (hence his use of "Roy" instead of his real name). Except for one point where he interrupts Hans on a walkie-talkie.The criminals in comparison to the terrorists in the novel, if ever so slightly. In the book, they are killers and terrorists, but they are also genuinely motivated by a political cause and not just trying to make money. In fact, in the book, their plans include taking the money from the company's vault, and throwing it out the window. This is subtly lampshaded when Theo says to Hans, "You didn't bring me along for my charming personality," implying that Theo realizes that he isn't a pleasant person to be around. Hans smiles sardonically at this, suggesting that even he may actually hold a quiet distaste towards his demeanour. Department of Redundancy Department: Ellis approaches the terrorists by asking, "Sprechen sie talk?" (Literally, "Do you speak talk?") Comically Missing the Point: The city engineer supervisor tries to tell the FBI agents that they can't cut power to the building from here, while the engineer in the manhole says that he can because he can radio central from there.
