Hans Gruber is one of the greatest movie villains ever. Impeccably dressed, articulate, cultured, polite while incredibly cruel and violent at the same time. RIP, Alan Rickman.
You said it perfectly! I've always had a crush on him as Hans, and always had a crush on Alan Rickman of course ! He was a fantastic, very clever actor 😊
Gosh he seemed like such a charming and poetic soul. Gentle, yet intense and talented in more ways than known. Alan Rickman, we are missing you, dearly. ❤️
so was John McTiernan, because the shot used he told Rickman he was going to drop him at the count of 3 but then dropped him on 1 to get the 'OHSHIT!' look REAL
The expression on Hans face was priceless when MacLaine released Holly’s watch band. I can’t even begin to describe it. But basically I guess a person in their head if they even had time would be thinking. Aww CRAP this is it!!!!!!
this is straight from the production notes. When Alan was dropped in at final scene, they were going to count to three. Instead of releasing him at three, they released him at two so he could look even more surprised. Looks like it worked out pretty well.
It definitely is but IMO the jumping off the building scene in the first Lethal Weapon movie tops that one. That movie came out one year prior to Die Hard and that scene doesn't take itself too seriously and in a way it has a mix of comedic and serious elements to it instead of being 100% serious because at the end of the day they both make safe landing and are still alive.
Die hard is the greatest action movie ever made. And Alan Rickman is a huge part of why that movie worked! Everything came together in Die Hard and it’s a masterpiece!!
The "gentleman"villain...he was so gorgeous, there will be nobody like him...so hard to accept that he will not be in this world again...really miss this exceptional actor
But isn't it wonderful that there are many movies with Alan Rickman that we can always watch when we feel like seeing/hearing him!? Anytime we want and there he is.

@@johnnyb4266 5) Rasputin 4) Truly, Madly, Deeply 3) Severus Snape 2) Hans Gruber in Die Hard And my most favorite of all... 1) Colonel Brandon in Sense And Sensibility In this he was just perfection!! Thank you for asking.
He should have won an Oscar for Hans. Rickman's had so many memorable roles ... but for many (minus the Potter series - popularity due to the books), Rickman was Hans ... one of the greatest movie villains of all time.
Last month I saw Die Hard for the first time at a local theatre & Alan Rickman was amazing. The fall scene at the end was incoming brilliant. It gets screened every Xmas in theatres.
I loved die hard too, but I fell in love with him as Severus Snape. No one, could ever play Snape like Alan, no one. Now or ever. He didn't actually play Snape, he was Snape. Severus Snape will be an iconic character for decades and decades. Mark my words!
He made such an incredible villain, not only here but also in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. At his core though, he was indeed a highly charismatic and sophisticated English gentleman.
Actually in his film ‘Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves’, he’s the best one in the film and that’s why I even rewatch that film - - so hilarious as the ‘bad guy’ (‘…..’and cancel Christmas!’.
@@slcRN1971 I think in many ways, Morgan Freeman and Alan made that film what it is. Kevin Costner having an American accent as he played the titular character was rather cringeworthy, although I still enjoyed the film.
He was fantastic in that role. Such a polite man! Everyone who worked with him said he was the opposite of the character he played in Die Hard. A true gentleman. You are missed Alan. Thanks for all the great performances.
He really seemed like he was over her but was very polite, kind, and down to earth the entire time and she seemed very smitten with him as I’m sure all the ladies were
One of the best villains in film history. Mr Rickman was a super actor and always convincing. RIP, Mr Rickman. Thank you for your cinematic brilliance. Your films will live on.
He was so iconic and quotable in that role....when my former wife and I saw Harry Potter at the theater I whispered to her when he came on screen "Where are my detonators?" she about died laughing.
Christmas hasn’t been the same since he left. Die Hard and Love Actually are two of my top Christmas movies. Yippee-Kai-Yay, Alan! You’re missed always.
I remember watching ‘Die Hard’ with my husband, when it was first shown in theaters. What a great movie and he certainly played a major role in why it is so great. Both Bruce Willis and Alan Rickman have lines that are still used today. His death is a tragedy: to his family, friends and all his numerous fans. Now Bruce Willis has had to quit acting, do to a debilitating illness.
One of the Finest Movie of all time!!! The Masterpiece expressions of Alan Rickman and the sexiest Attitude of Bruce Willis makes this Movie a Gold❤️ Hollywood is so better back in 80's
What an incredible actor, product of a grammar school education before our country went bonkers and got rid of them all. Rickman was from a council estate. If he was born now, we'd have been deprived of one of the stage and silver screens greatest actors.
I remember Alan Rickman from this time early late 80s/90s like yesterday. He looked like a young rock star. Hard to believe he gone, he’d be nearly 80 years old now if alive, RIP
It’s crazy to think he made it to Hollywood with Die Hard around the age of 42 and went on to have a great career with the Harry Potter films,Robin Hood,Sense & Sensibility and many many more
It is impressive that his first movie role is this iconic lead villain. He was amazing. Willis of course became a superstar & was great but rickman just captivates every scene he's in
And the take they used was the one where they released him a little before the agreed upon cue, just to get that extra terror on his face, according to the behind the scenes material. The first time I saw him not as a villian after many times seeing Die Hard and Robin Hood was so trippy, to finally see him in a funny part and later on in interviews. He was a great actor and person shame that it is already past tense! :(
What’s amazing is Alan said his fall was 40 feet straight down onto an airbag. Watching the movie it really looks like he’s falling from 32 stories up. I don’t know if it’s the camera angles or what but it’s amazing how they can make things like this in movies look so believable and real life like. R.I.P. Alan Rickman ❤️❤️❤️😢😢
There is a good reason for that fear , the stunt coordinator told Alan he would drop him on the count of 3 , and let him go on 1. So the suprise on his face is legit.
John Mctierman couldn't have picked a better actor, who played the best villain other than Alan Rickman.. Great job John!! RIP Alan!! You were a great actor who played everybody's best villain... You are the epitomi of playing the bad guy!!
All the people who worked in the film made the film a classic. Hundreds of people did work on this film . Director , producers , actors and many others .
Ever since the first time I saw this movie, I’ve been saying the same thing, he was the star of that movie. Bruce Willis was a small costar. He was unbelievably great in that role of the villain Hans Gruber.
I can’t believe Hans Gruber was Alan’s first film role. He owned that 100%.
Yeah a huge role also for your first, made his career.
@@Hatemoth He got in the film scene late - he was on TV as a bit/background actor whilst doing theatre (I remember this from alright on the night in the Uk)

Oh my goodness, if I was held hostage by Hans I would be a blushing mess. I know he’s a bad guy but Alan just…made him so…just wow

Ladies and Gentlemen........Ladies and Gentlemen!
RIP. He left us too young. Sadly missed
do you really miss him, or you just think that is the right thing to say?
Same as Rutger Hauer.
His voice is like liquid gold - love Alan Rickman so much!
Wow the image is great !
Just discovered him... he reminds me of Jeremy Irons
That scene of him falling from the building is a movie classic. Alan Rickman was brilliant.
so was John McTiernan, because the shot used he told Rickman he was going to drop him at the count of 3 but then dropped him on 1 to get the 'OHSHIT!' look REAL
The expression on Hans face was priceless when MacLaine released Holly’s watch band. I can’t even begin to describe it. But basically I guess a person in their head if they even had time would be thinking. Aww CRAP this is it!!!!!!
And he survived that fall only by using the "Arresto Momentum" spell.
this is straight from the production notes. When Alan was dropped in at final scene, they were going to count to three. Instead of releasing him at three, they released him at two so he could look even more surprised.
Looks like it worked out pretty well.

Love how he lights up when he smiles *-*
The hair though
I feel so stupid that I was flustered through out this whole interview
A true English gent with a voice to die for.
“ Do not pity the dead, pity the living, and above all, those who live without love.”
Alan: *Gives an ambitious, detailed answer to the first question*
Question 2: You did your own stunts?
Alan: Yeah......... *reacts*....

1) Colonel Brandon in Sense And Sensibility
In this he was just perfection!!
Thank you for asking.
@@FreyaF... also Robin Hood Prince of Thieves although the film was corny he out shone Kevin Costner in every scene
Alan’s performance as Hans Grubber is the best movie villain of all time.
Mines would have to go to Skeletor
Possibly his 'sheriff of nottingham'....
Sheriff of Nottingham as well, dam he played a great vilan!
He should have won an Oscar for Hans. Rickman's had so many memorable roles ... but for many (minus the Potter series - popularity due to the books), Rickman was Hans ... one of the greatest movie villains of all time.
One of them, for sure!

Reportedly they told him he'd be "going on 3" but they dropped him on "2" and thus the genuinely shocked expression during the fall!
He was good as Snape, but I will FOREVER see him as Hans Gruber!

he looked *so* good in this my god

He always looked good
That voice. Iconic.
Beautiful man and accomplishes actor. Stole every scene he was in just with his commanding voice.
I just read "Madly, Deeply: The Diaries of Alan Rickman". An interesting insight to a wonderful actor.
He's so calming to listen to.
He was the coolest bad guy I've ever seen on film.
He was so iconic and quotable in that role....when my former wife and I saw Harry Potter at the theater I whispered to her when he came on screen "Where are my detonators?" she about died laughing.
Hahaha, lmao! That is hilarious, nice one 😊😅
Alan had a rockin' mullet.
I like how she says “see you in the sequel” ... 😂
He was in a flashback scene in Die Hard with a Vengeance I suppose 🤣

Christmas hasn’t been the same since he left. Die Hard and Love Actually are two of my top Christmas movies.
Yippee-Kai-Yay, Alan! You’re missed always.
Rickman was such a special, special actor.
If you hadnt had the chance to see. Go check out Quigley Down Under. Plays a good villian in that as well.
