True Lies

Trivia: The hotel chase and horse in the elevator scenes were actually filmed in two hotels in Los Angeles as opposed to Washington D.C. where the film was set. The building with the elevators is the Westin hotel near downtown, and the lobby chase was filmed at the now-demolished Ambassador on Wilshire.

True Lies mistake picture

Revealing mistake: During the scene where Arnold's character is escaping from the mansion at the beginning of the movie, there is a part where he is running down a snowy hill through trees. At one point during the hill scene, Arnold does a flip head first. When he lands the flip, you can clearly see the stunt double's face as he turns to shoot at more bad guys. (00:13:30)

Question: How could Harry have known what floor the terrorist leader was going to get off on during the hotel chase sequence?

Chosen answer: He didn't really. Harry just knew he was heading up. He pressed the top floor to get the elevator moving and kept an eye on him on the way up. If the terrorist's elevator suddenly stops, Harry can press the button for that floor to stop his elevator.
