Continuity mistake: In the subway scene, when carrying it before it starts to mix, the door is hanging off on the left side. When it starts to mix, the door is hanging off on the right side. There could be some time that he could rotate it, but with him using his left hand to tell people to move to the front of the car and grabbing the poles, he wouldn't be able to rotate it.
Die Hard: With a Vengeance (1995)
1 video
Directed by: John McTiernan
Starring: Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson, Jeremy Irons, Graham Greene
Factual error: This film perpetuates the Hollywood myth that being shot in the upper leg is a minor inconvenience and will leave you with a slight limp and not much else. Simon shoots Zeus in the thigh with a Heckler and Koch MP5K from a range of about a metre. That would almost certainly shatter his thigh bone and rip through his femoral artery. In the unlikely event that Zeus was lucky enough to avoid any such injuries, he wouldn't be walking anywhere for months.
Zeus: Didn't I hear you say you didn't even like your brother?
Simon: There's a difference, you know, between not liking one's brother and not caring when some dumb Irish flatfoot drops him out of a window.
Trivia: In the German version of the first 'Die Hard' movie, the terrorists were changed into radical Irish because the dubbing producers didn't want to have German terrorists (see 'Die Hard' Trivia). In the German dubbing of this movie, however, they have decided to adapt the original background after all, and the late terrorist leader is called by his original name, Hans Gruber.
Question: In the bank, inside the lift, when John McClane is with the fake Detective Otto, what does he see in Detective Otto's badge that convinces him he is fake?
