- Movie Goof (incorrectly regarded as a mistake): In the scenes where an IP address is traced to reveal a person's name, the IPs displayed for these traces (172.16.55.103 and 10.252.27.112) both belong to IANA private network IPv4 address space reservations. Realistically, IP addresses in this range do not exist on the Internet, as they are reserved for internal network use only. An attacker would need to be on the same local-area network as the victim for a reserved address to be returned in a trace, but this scenario would obviate the usefulness of such a trace in determining the geographical location of the victim. Further, IP traces alone do not reveal personal information such as user names; such a deduction as portrayed in the film is entirely unrealistic. (This may have been done intentionally by the filmmakers to avoid giving out IP addresses that could be reached via the Internet.)
- Movie Goof (continuity error): In the scene in the elevator shaft, when the guy gets hit by Matt and falls onto the back of the SUV and drops his weapon into the SUV, the steering wheel is missing, just after John drove drove it into the shaft the scene before.
- Movie Goof (incorrectly regarded as a mistake): After McClane busts the BMW's window to break in, he's seen driving moments later with a window up and whole again. However, it is the back window which is broken, not the front.
- Movie Goof (continuity error): When the FBI are flying to the rescue at the end of the movie, they clearly state they are fifteen minutes out and then the camera pans to a shot of them with dockyards in the background. Firstly they are heading to the dockyards and secondly when we return to them later they are still flying over the same dockyards in the same direction.
