Live Free or Die Hard mistake picture

Deliberate mistake: While McClane drives in the tunnel, Gabriel orders, "Open the gates on the north side entrance." A few shots later the signal light changes from red to green and the north gate opens. The "warning" sign is backwards in this flipped shot. Then, when Gabriel opens the gates at the south entrance, there's a proper shot of the "south" gate opening. The two shots of the "north" and "south" gates opening are the same, but one is reversed. All the dirty smudges on the signs, booths, etc, are identical. (00:41:20 - 00:42:05)

Visible crew/equipment: When Lucy enters her bedroom, she asks Martha if she likes the painting done by Mr. Fairley and Martha quickly replies no, then just as Martha walks over to the bed, a black T-mark is visible on the rug near the big leather chair, right before Lucy takes a few steps toward that mark's location and stands there. (01:15:30)

Visible crew/equipment: During the in-law visit Mother starts weeping, prompting Captain Gregg to roar at Lucy, "Make her stop the eternal caterwauling," and when Lucy tells him to keep out of this, of course Mother thinks Lucy's comment was directed at her. In the next shot, when Lucy stands up the black tape mark is visible on the rug at Mother's feet. (00:38:55)

Visible crew/equipment: After Lucy's in-laws inform her that she's lost her source of income, Lucy sits down beside the vocal Captain Gregg and responds to him aloud that she doesn't intend to make a scene. Then, when Mother takes a seat beside Lucy, the shadow of the moving boom mic is visible above Mother at the top of the screen. (00:38:40)

Continuity mistake: When Martha and Lucy put away Lucy's mourning clothes, at the start of this scene the wicker knitting basket is on the table beside the big leather chair; it's still visible there when Captain Gregg shouts his wish for Lucy's roses to die of blight. Later in this scene, Captain Gregg corrects Lucy's misuse of nautical terminology while romanticizing the seaman's life, and when Lucy sits on the bench she reaches right beside her for the wicker knitting basket, that moved itself onto the bench.
