michael Posted January 26, 2007 Author Share Posted January 26, 2007 iirc the bad guys in Die Hard weren't given an exact nationality, for fear of upsetting the Jerry audience probably. Hans Gruber wasn't it? Classic generic name Oh and the big guy called Fritz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 The depiction of an Anglo-Pakistani family in 1970s Salford in East is East represented the husband as a polygamous wife-beating tyrant that fitted many of the negative perceptions people have of Muslims.' Well to be fair, most muslim men are wife beaters. The unmarried ones are usually terrorists. legs it away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Oh well, wrong again: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095016/trivia # The German that the terrorists speak is sometimes grammatically incorrect and meaningless. In the German version of the film, the terrorists are not from Germany but from "Europe". This has been fixed for the Special Edition VHS and later home video releases. The only instances of incorrect use of German are Alan Rickman's (Hans Gruber) lines. # In the German version, Hans Gruber's name is changed to Jack Gruber.

ivan Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 The bad guys in loads of Hollywood films have been Brits for years. I don't remember there ever being a religeous or political backlash about that though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Ah, Art Malik in True Lies, with his band of slightly comical fanatics. Stinger missile slapstick, Chaplin would turn in his grave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
