Continuity mistake: In the beginning once McClane and Matthew have escaped the apartment, and are going through the alleyway, when John gets in the car and throws it in reverse look to the left of the screen. The back driver's side window is rolled down about 2-3 inches. The remaining camera shots during the escape show the window being rolled all the way up.

Continuity mistake: When Detective Maclean is trying to convince Matt to go with him, Matt tries to open a window, so he can escape, but the window won't open. Later, after all the gunfire, both men escape through the now-working window.

Continuity mistake: When the hacker pulls up the F-35s schematic, it is shown with 10 missiles outline in red, 3 on each wing, and 4 internally. When the F-35 is shown on screen, it has no weapons mounted on the wings. (01:47:20 - 01:47:50)

Plot hole: Since they took down the telephone network, it would have been impossible for Justin Long to even be speaking to the emergency response woman for the car, much less send a signal to start the car up.

No, the BMW system requires a cell signal to work, which was taken down earlier in the movie.

Question: When the FBI take McClane and Farrell and the voice of Maggie Q is recognised by Matt - how does she know McClane is with Matt? She says to get her a line to the FBI driver and get me all the info on John McClane. At which point did they even know John McClane's name or who he was?

Answer: The radio line mentioned the officer's name in the seconds after Gabriel's voice recognition picked up Farrell's name.

Answer: They would have called ahead to DHS to advise them that a NYPD office of SO SO name would be coming to hoover building escorting Mr Feral. I would only assume when they said his name and Matt's name over the police band it triggered a hit for Matt's name, and then they listened to it, causing them to know who is riding in the LEO car. Hypothetically of course.

Answer: They sent 5 guys to kill Matt Farrell. 2 survived and stated there was a guy with Farrell as the reason they didn't kill him. I always figured, up until that point, that they had checked to see who was dispatched to Farrell's address before they got to him.
