    • Trivia
      Is an avid fan of John Wayne. When The Duke saw Ein stahlharter Mann (1975), he wanted Hill to helm his last film, Der Scharfschütze (1976). But Hill refused because he didn't want to see his hero dying in a movie.
    • Quotes
      [on working with Charles Bronson on Ein stahlharter Mann (1975)] Well, Charlie does things in terms of performance that are hard for a lot of other people to comprehend as being part of an actor's tool, and that is being visually interesting. There is a great poetry in Charlie's face. With just a look, he can suggest moods that are quite interesting. He's always on time, he always knows his lines, and he never misses a mark.
    • Trademarks
        At least one character in many of his films drives a sky blue Cadillac Convertible. e.g. Nur 48 Stunden (1982), Zum Teufel mit den Kohlen (1985) and Red Heat (1988).
