To both compare and contrast the Gruber brothers, John McTiernan employs several parallels to express the similarities and differences of the criminal kin: Hans Gruber is introduced exiting a truck with his entourage in tow, establishing himself as the boss. Simon as well, is walking down Wall Street with his disguised thugs exiting a vehicle and joining him. While Hans has Ode to Joy as his main theme, representing his classical and theatrical nature, Simon's theme is When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again, to symbolize his perspective as a soldier with purpose. Both brothers have henchmen that carry unique traits that make them distinctive, and both use a fictional motivations to cast shadow on their true intentions. On a more superficial note; both are portrayed by English born actors utilizing German accents; the late Alan Rickman and Jeremy Irons.
