Homburg made his big screen return in the action thriller "Die Hard" (1988) with Alan Rickman and Andreas Wisniewski. Homburg plays James, a member of the German group that plans to rob the Nakatomi Tower, meeting his demise courtesy of a DIY bomb from John McClane (Bruce Willis). From there, Homburg appeared in the movie sequel "Ghostbusters II" (1989) playing Vigo The Carpathian, a 16th Century Eastern European tyrant (based loosely on Vlad Țepeș), the role for which Homburg is possibly best known. The character’s full name was Vigo Von Homburg Deutschendorf, an homage to his ring name. With his speech being slurred, all of his lines were dubbed with Max von Sydow’s baritone. Wilhelm's last notable role was in "Diggstown" as a vegetative ex-boxer who had been cheated out of his life. His final film role was in John Carpenter's "In the Mouth of Madness" (1994).
