Deliberate mistake: The nose pieces on the face masks have been removed from all of the SCBAs used in the movie. The nose pieces are essential to keep the mask from fogging up, but were removed to allow the audience to see all of the actors' faces.
Ladder 49 (2004)
1 deliberate mistake
Directed by: Jay Russell
Starring: John Travolta, Joaquin Phoenix, Robert Patrick, Jacinda Barrett
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Jack rescues the worker from the warehouse, while lowering the victim - the rope is wrapped around the beam - but in the overhead shot as the floor gives way - the rope is only laying across the beam.
Lenny Richter: Why does it always have to be the 12th floor? Why can't they be on the 4th?
Trivia: Jacinda Barrett's father was a fire fighter in Brisbane, Australia. She has been quoted as saying that's what drew her to working on this movie.
