Continuity mistake: When Hans takes Holly hostage, as she is sitting on the floor talking to Hans, as the camera goes from him to her, each time Holly's shirt is unbuttoned and open more so her bra and boobs are revealed.
John McClane: Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker.
Trivia: During filming, Alan Rickman was found proficient at mimicking American accents; the scene in which McClane and Hans Gruber meet was then inserted.

Answer: At first, John made the mocking Stevie Wonder remark because Al drove up to the Nakatomi Building very slowly and leisurely after John made that frantic emergency call to the police. He was expecting a forceful police response. Later, John is referring to how Al had suddenly flown into action and expertly drove the cop car backwards after the dead body hit the hood/windshield. John meant that Al must have been a patrol cop skilled at high-speed driving.
