QWhat kind of handgun does John McClane use in the movie?
AThe Beretta 92F, a common handgun also used by the US Armed Forces since 1985. This was never issued to the NYPD so McClane must have bought it privately. He continues using the Beretta in the next two Die Hard films & changes to a SIG Sauer P220R for Live Free or Die Hard.
QHow did McClane know the C4 would explode on the floor that Hans' men using the rocket launcher were on?
AHe didn't, however, he did know that the elevator car they used was stopped at that floor. All he had to do was insert the detonator & let the chair with the C4 & the computer monitor strapped to it hit the elevator car & explode.
QWho are the 'terrorists'?
AActually, the villiains are not terrorists, they are simply robbers who are posing as terrorists as part of their scheme to manipulate the authorities for their real apolitical goal. There are 13 "terrorists," led by the former German terrorist Hans Gruber. Hans' second-in-command is compatriot Karl (Alexander Godunov), whose brother Tony (Andreas Wisniewski) is also involved. There are two Americans: Eddie (Dennis Hayden), who impersonates a security guard in the lobby, and Theo (Clarence Gilyard Jr.), the computer whiz kid. Theo is assisted in cracking the vault by Kristoffe (Gérard Bonn), who appears to be French. The missile team is made up of marksman Alexander (Joey Plewa) and loader James (Wilhelm von Homburg). Heinrich (Gary Roberts) is tasked with rigging the explosives on the roof, a job he undertakes with Uli (Al Leong) and Marco (Lorenzo Caccialanza). Finally there is Fritz (Hans Buhringer) and Franco (Bruno Doyon), who each carry out a wide range of jobs during the heist.
