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.
Die Hard: With a Vengeance (1995)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: John McTiernan
Starring: Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson, Jeremy Irons, Graham Greene
Simon (Jeremy Irons) is Hans Gruber's brother (the leader of the terrorists in the first Die Hard movie). The bomb in the school was just to distract the NYPD while he robbed the central bank of all its gold. Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson board the ship. Simon ties 'em up near a bomb. They escape and the ship goes kaboom. Willis, Jackson and the police catch Simon & friends at the Canadian border. Willis forces Gruber's helicopter into a a power line, killing him. "Yippie-kay-yay, motherf%#&er!"

More mistakes in Die Hard: With a Vengeance
Zeus: I told you 9th Avenue is the quickest way south.
John McClane: Stop all the goddamn yellin'! I know what I'm doing.
Zeus: Not even God knows what you're doing!
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: I always wondered about this. As a cop, McClane knew about weapons. While handing over the machine gun to Zeus, he explained how it worked. But he did not tell Zeus to switch the safety catch off. How on earth could McClane forget to tell something crucial like that? Zeus isn't even pissed about it later on, while it could have cost him his life.
Chosen answer: A simple omission, in the heat of the moment he forgot to mention it. He may have thought, since he just took the gun off an enemy, that the safety was already off.
McClane probably did that intentionally as Zeus didn't know much about guns. In fact, you hear McClane say "Don't be a hero, you find him, you come get me."
Of all the possible answers, this is definitely not the one. There's no way he handed him the gun and then purposely did not tell him that the safety was engaged. There would be no point in that.
Answer: And Zeus mentions about brothers knowing how to shoot guns.
He said it was racist to assume that brothers know how to shoot guns. He admitted he didn't know how to use that model.
