No mention of Our Man Flint?


Hans Gruber is a fairly generic German name. It's been used in many flicks and shows. I doubt McTiernan was referencing anything.

Good catch.

I believe if everyone here thought about it for a second, that information is stored in the back of their minds.

I knew that but never made the connection till you pointed it out.

+1. :thumbsup:
