Plot hole: Harry goes into the Mall, and two of the terrorists follow him through the Mall, up the escalator, down the hall, and into the men's room. Then the third terrorist leaves the car and follows exactly the same path to where the other 3 went, even though there's no way he could have known exactly where to go.
True Lies (1994)
1 plot hole
Directed by: James Cameron
Starring: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bill Paxton, Jamie Lee Curtis, Tia Carrere, Eliza Dushku, Tom Arnold, Art Malik
Factual error: Schwarzenegger flies the Harrier without ear protection of any kind. I was fifty metres from one at the Farnborough Air-show, and I can tell you that after landing he (and his daughter) would be both stone deaf. Yes, they are THAT loud. (02:02:00)
Trivia: The shots of Jamie Leigh Curtis hanging beneath the helicopter were pick up shots - it was mostly stuntwoman Donna Keegan. Cameron wanted an actual shot of Jamie Leigh Curtis - she had to be convinced to do her own stunt for it, with Cameron offering to hang out of the helicopter with the camera to get the shot. It was filmed on her 35th birthday.

Chosen answer: He just exclaims, "Shit!" It's not what he says that makes the henchman let him go, it's that they both realize that if they don't find cover they'll both likely be shot by this random, firing Uzi.
