The 1988 classic die hard features a wide array of 13 (13 not 12, 13) villains for Bruce Willis to take out but how do they rank aganist each other
13 - Heinrich - he is incharge of - spoiler - putting the C4 on the top of the building and is killed in a fairly boring way by McClane, plus he has no screentime so, here he goes
12 - Alexander - he is the ordinarg looking missle guy who blew up the SWAT RV.
11 - Kristof - does absolutley nothing but he does get the honour of being spared by McClane and being one of two terrorists to survive the night. He is Theo’s assistant
10 - Fritiz is Karls long-haired bodygaurd. He appears a bit throughout the movie and is killed when McClane fires wildly into the lift.
9 - Tony - Karls brother places low because the action scene he dies in is the worst in the movie
8 - James - he is the strong missle guy, he is Alexanders assistant, he along with Alexander are killed when McClane blow them up.
- Franco - getting shot in the kneecaps and landing on glass got him here
- Uli - he is the person who loves chocolate so much he eats some when preparing for a shootout.
- Marco - “next time you have the chance to kill someone, don’t hessitate” shoots him “thanks for the advice.” This is one of my favourite action scene in the movie and the franchise. such a fun sequence from the shoot out to the police car escaping the gunfire from the other terrorists. Very cool, very fun. Not sure who shot at the car so i am mentioning it here.
- Eddie - all right, its just the main 4 left (A.K.A the ones with any plot relevance) so we know the ranking but lets continue anyway. Eddie is pretending to be the secetary for the first half of the movie, hangs around by the vault for the second and has a laugh off with Hans and McClane before he is shot in the head. His actor does a good job, the slight akwardness with the laugh is good, everything is good… but everything can be even more good.
- Theo - he is the 2nd terrorist to survive the events that took place in nakatomi plaza on christmas eve 1988. It would of been cool if they acknowleged they’re survival. Anyway he is pretty darn great, but he has little screentime and like Hans and Eddie, isn’t very physical as he never fights McClane.
- Karl - finally the proper good stuff. Karl is so fun. The way his only goal is to kill McClane, for killing his brother. I mean they didn’t need to add that to the movie but they did and his actor gives a pretty good performance, plus his fight with McClane is cool, double plus the way he could get away but doesn’t want McClane to survive is pretty cool too.
- Hans Gruber - go read an article on why he works as a villain, that exists. In short, he is perfect. Top five villains of all time.
