Corrected entry: When dump trucks show up outside train station where Charlie is and Simon introduces himself as detective Bob Thompson of the city engineers office, Charlie doesn't recognise him or the guy on the side of the dump truck, even though in a previous scene Charlie was in the van when the FBI was showing the pictures and explaining to McClane and Zeus about Simon being Peter Gruber and the other two.

Correction: He was sitting in the back, he didn't see the picture. Even if he did, then it's a character mistake, hardly a plot hole.

Corrected entry: The German version is strange, because the English is dubbed, but the German (obviously) isn't. However, this means that when they're on the boat, and the guard shouts "nicht schießen" [don't shoot], Willis asks "was hat er gesagt?" [what did he say], and is answered "nicht schießen". Bizarre....

Correction: Well they wouldn't edit out of the part McClane didn't understand what he was saying, just because they dubbed it all into German. Dubbing doesn't mean the German viewers are to believe they all are actually speaking German, its just an alternative to the subtitles, just to let people who don't understand English to understand it. But they understand McClane is suppose to be speaking English and not understand the German.

Correction: Actually, the guy in the German version speaks Hungarian and says "Ne lö" which means "don't shoot. McClane then asks "Was hat er gesagt?" ("What did he say?") and then Targo kicks him and says "Er hat gesagt nicht schießen" ("He said dont shoot").

Correction: The guy spoke Russian, not German. The gangsters were from former East Germany and had some Russians amongst them.

Corrected entry: The doors are locked in the school preventing the kids from getting out. Couldn't the kids just unlock the door from the inside?

Correction: Not necessarily, a lot of locks can't be opened on the other side when locked with a key. Besides, the kids panicked and didn't know what to do.
