gruber would probably win this in a landslide. i'm more interested in what we think of the support team he had in place.

Ah crap, I thought this was gonna be a poll of the lead villains in all of the *other* Die Hard movies (in which case Jeremy Irons, duh!)

Gonna be hard not to vote Uli for stealing that candy bar. Apparently it was the actor's idea, cos he was hungry.

i like that each of these dudes gets a good death (or, in the case of theo and kristoff, knockout moment) and they're all pretty decently defined even when their only dialogue is unsubtitled german.

Definitely time for a rewatch, not sure I've seen it this century.

Theo has some great lines.

my guess is Huey Lewis is gonna take this. curious to hear from s1ocki and max and hungry4ass on this subject.

Haha, every time I watch this and he gets shot I'm like, "Huey Lewis! Nooooooo!"

candy bar scene is one of my most enduring memories of the movie so gotta vote leong.

I have a friend who has never seen this movie. We have plans to see it Monday night. I am so excited for him.

Theo has some great lines.
"/You didn't bring me along for my charming personality./"

In the original take he also says "but you could have."

glad this isn't a poll of the other-movie villains so I don't have to feel bad for not voting for olyphant
