Hans Gruber...

Anybody else notice that there is a Hans Gruber in ReAnimator and the lead villen in Die Hard is named Hans Gruber? Is this possibley John McTiernan giving a nod to ReAnimator???

Wow, I have to admit, I never realized that until you pointed it out. :stunned:

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:
