When McClane meets Hans for the first time was improvised. Alan Rickman does his best American accent to try and fool our hero. The filmmakers had been trying to figure out a way for McClane and Hans to meet face to face before the film's climatic scenes. Once they realized that Rickman could do passable American accent, they were off to the races. The scene led Hans to realize that McClane's barefoot, and they should "shoot the glass." That scene is what led Terry Gilliam casting Bruce Willis in L'esercito delle 12 scimmie (1995). A lot led to the realization that the British Rickman could sound like a red-blooded American.
