Fritz along with Franco are always seen with fellow terrorist and 2IC of the group, Karl. By the time Fritz meets with his maker, he has already spent about five clips of ammunition in the vain hopes of killing our hero John but to no avail.John has their boss Hans in a tight spot with Hans trying to splatter Johns' head with an empty gun. Fortunately for Hans, Karl and his pals are on the way thanks to a quick CB call from Hans and their timing couldn't be more perfect.

Before John can blast Hans, the 'ding' of the elevator, appears and John's Karl-senses go into overdrive, sending him into a mad, screaming sprint for cover as soon as Karl appears, with John spraying the entrance of the computer room with lead.

Karl, knowing better, puts up his character shield, making the bullets miss him and manages to quickly take cover behind a wall. However, for our friend Fritz who wants a piece of the action as well, he stops dead in the middle of the doorway and lets off a solitary shot before being the recepient of five bullets to the chest and abdomen sending him staggering back and quickly slumping against the wall behind him which puts our archetype 'sole long-haired bad guy in the terrorist gang' out of the action permanently.

Great stuff! grinning smiley I've been facinated with the Die Hard bad guys for over 5 years and i've found it very hard to find out which terrorist is which. I've got the names but like who is "Alexander" and who is "Fritz"? Now I DO know who Fritz is, and that's great!

Im also trying to translate some of the german spoken in the movie. There is a whole lot of fun stuff to do with those Die Hard terrorists.
