Adaptation Name Change: The lead terrorist in Nothing Lasts Forever, the source material for the first film, is named Anton "Red Tony" Grueber. Here, he's named Hans Gruber. 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.

Non-Action Guy: Downplayed as he never fights John one-on-one and it's implied he wouldn't have much chance even if he did but he knows how to use a gun and definitely isn't afraid to get his hands dirty, personally executing Tagaki and trying to kill John and later Holly. He also was in the military prior so he likely has combat experience but prefers not to fight now. Determinator: A Trope Codifier for the non-invincible action movie hero who has to Earn His Happy Ending. In the first film, he gets beat up, shot at, nearly blown up, jumps himself off a building and crashes through a glass window, his feet get lacerated, and he eventually gets shot in the shoulder. This does not stop him. The third film has him getting pistol-whipped, blown up, beaten, drowned, shot at, beaten, and blown up again. This makes him angry. In the fourth film, he is shot at, blown up, shot at some more, thrown out of a car, beaten up by a Dark Action Girl, dropped down an elevator shaft, frozen, beat up again, shot at by a jet fighter, shot, and then shoots himself. He doesn't give up at any point.
