Audio problem: After the terrorist in the helicopter opens fire on John and Matthew, a policeman yells something about backup into his radio. What he's saying doesn't match up with his mouth. (00:37:45)
Audio problem: When at the Warlock's place, McClane says something along the lines of, "What're you guys talking about?" When he does, his lips are out of sync with the audio. (01:29:50)
Audio problem: When McClane and Ferral arrive at Woodlawn, Ferral says something about the cooling towers being on the lower floors. As he does, his mouth doesn't move at all. Granted his mouth is blocked for most of it, but you can see a bit of his mouth at points and it's not moving. (01:30:15)
Audio problem: When McClane and Ferrel are confronted at Woodlawn by the bad guy, the bad guy says "You, fix it." When he does, his mouth doesn't move for "You." (01:33:00)
Audio problem: When McClane is walking through Woodlawn and talking to Gabriel over the radio, his mouth doesn't match what is being said. (01:38:50)
Audio problem: Just as McClane and Farrell are about to leave the Eastern Power Hub, Farrell goes on a long rant and his mouth does not match the words he is saying. [In the unrated version of the film, the rant concurs with Will's mouth movements, but the mistake is valid for the regular version.]
Audio problem: During the final chase scene when McClane takes control of the semi truck, you can hear the truck continuing to shift gears even though McClane is not completely in the driver's seat and nowhere close to the clutch or shifter.
Audio problem: When Gabriel is starting to move out with the large truck, you hear the sounds from the truck tires but the tires aren't moving.
Audio problem: As McClane attempts to escape from the car in the lift shaft, a henchman shoots at him. As McClane hides between the seats, he cries, "Motherf**ker!" However, McClane's lips aren't moving. ('Unrated'/'Ultimate Action Edition' version only).
Audio problem: Why does the whole city make a 'whooom' noise when the power turns off? And each block makes exactly the same sound.
Chosen answer: In 2005, Hurricane Katrina ravaged the city of New Orleans, with many of the residents temporarily housed in the Superdome. FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) was highly criticized for their response (or lack of), including how long it took to supply the Superdome with adequate water and food. Matt's pointing out to John how the government isn't nearly as capable of responding to disaster as people think.
