    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.

    Wasn't there a famous composer or conductor named Hans Gruber?
