“True Lies” Goofs List
- Continuity: Tire tracks visible on the carpet in the hotel before Aziz rides through.
- Revealing mistakes: The urinal flexes when the bad guy’s head is thrust into it.
- Continuity: Bullets in the bathroom were fired at an angle, but the holes were straight.
- Continuity: During the Hotel striptease, the phone is on the floor when Helen places the bug, but it is on the bed when Harry is handcuffed.
- Continuity: Aziz’s position after he kicks open the toilet doors.
- Crew or equipment visible: Tape holding explosives for bullet holes in the toilet doors.
- Crew or equipment visible: Reflected in the toilet paper dispenser in the booth where the old man is sitting.
- Revealing mistakes: Wrinkle in the drop screen that is supposed to be the city when Harry is talking to his horse on the roof of the hotel.
- Continuity: Juno’s face is cut before Helen slaps her.
- Continuity: The cut on Juno’s face switches sides during the fight in the limousine.
- Incorrectly regarded as goofs: Harry grabs and fires a gun with no visible hammer; it’s a Heckler and Koch pistol that is specifically designed with an interior hammer thus enabling it to fire.
- Factual errors: The holes in the bread vans are smaller than the 25mm rounds fired by the Harriers.
- Factual errors: Bullets fired from an AK-47 would not shatter the canopy on a Harrier jet. This was known by the filmmakers, but the shattered canopy was included to avoid having to worry about reflections on the canopy glass.
- Continuity: Disappearing bullet holes in the Harrier jet.
- Continuity: When Harry is outside the office building in the Harrier Jet you see a shot of a group of terrorists inside the building on one of the floors. They look out at the jet and Harry smiles back. The inside shots show the glass of the windows to have no tint. Yet on the other floors of the building you can see tinted windows on interior shots. Also the shots of the plane outside the building reveal that the glass has a mirror tint on it, and Harry could not have seen clearly into the building.
- Factual errors: The drysuit that Harry is wearing at the start of the film has the zip across the back (this can be seen as he is pulling the suit off over his head). This type of drysuit is impossible to take off without help from another person (“self-donning” suits have a zip across the front of the body).
- Continuity: When Harry is returning the Corvette to the lot, the car to the right side disappears halfway through the skid.
- Revealing mistakes: When Harry is being chased from the mansion, he is attacked by two Dobermans. The Dobermans jump at him and get ‘coconut crunched’ together. The dogs used at that point were rubber. One of the rubber dogs’ eyes pops out and can be seen flying off the right side of the screen when using frame-by-frame advance, as well when they fall to the ground they bend and crease like rubber (they also bounce).
- Continuity: The motorcycle starts falling as soon as Aziz drives off the roof of the hotel, but he is clearly in a newly elevated position when he is shown falling into the pool.
- Audio/visual unsynchronized: While Harry is escaping from the mansion, Gib is driving the van down a very icy road, yet once Harry gets in the van and Gib takes off, the tires squeal, implying that the van was taking off on dry pavement.
- Factual errors: In the opening sequence when Harry is accessing the billionaire’s computer he boots it like a Macintosh. The Mac sound plays but the screen displays the boot screen for Windows 3.1
- Revealing mistakes: When the bomb goes off in the Aziz camp, you can see the springboards the stuntmen are flung from.
- Continuity: Although Helen doesn’t wear shoes for most of the film’s last half-hour, the soles of her feet are perfectly clean during the limo catfight.
- Continuity: Although Helen was wearing the same outfit since being kidnapped from her striptease for Harry in the hotel, she is wearing less revealing underwear when she is in the back of the limo as the bridge is being demolished.
- Audio/visual unsynchronized: When Aziz and Dana are on the crane, Dana slips and you can hear her say “Someone help me” but her lips aren’t moving
- Factual errors: The Statues of purported “Persian” origin are actually Assyrian.
- Continuity: At the beginning, when underwater, Harry is using an underwater welder to cut the gates, he is not wearing gloves, in the next scene, a gloved hand with knife rises out of the ice.
- Crew or equipment visible: When Harry takes a ride with Simon in the Corvette the camera is reflected in the windshield for several seconds.
- Revealing mistakes: When Harry chases Aziz through the hotel, Aziz blows by a bellhop who falls back into a chair, causing it to fall over. As is does, we see the spring-loaded device underneath the chair to assist it in pushing it and the bellhop back.
- Continuity: When Harry and Albert had Simon on the dam wall, the dam wall is wet. The next we see it, the dam wall is almost completely dry.
- Continuity: Harry breaks the window of the van but it is intact in later shots.
- Revealing mistakes: In the scenes following the horse chase, during a briefing on who Harry was chasing, the video on the big screen is paused, yet the burned in time code for the video keeps rolling. If the timecode was indeed burnt in, it should have stopped, if it wasn’t, there is no need for it.
- Revealing mistakes: After the EZ Van has exploded on the highway on the bridge in the Florida Keys, shots from the helicopter’s point of view show that what should be the burning wreckage of the van is in fact merely two flame throwers firing into the air.
- Revealing mistakes: When Juno checks her cheek with her hand after Helen hits, she rubs her hand across where the blood is and looks at her hand, obviously having picked some up, but the blood on her face doesn’t smear.
- Audio/visual unsynchronized: While Dana is hanging onto the front of the jet she yells, “Oh my God, do something.” to Harry because in a effort to get rid of Aziz, his jacket strap gets caught on a missile on the jet. As we hear audio of Eliza Dushku’s voice, her mouth does not match up with the words we hear.
- Continuity: When Harry punches the guy who rifle butts Helen, he does so with his left hand hitting him on his right cheek. A moment later he is seen holding his left cheek.
- Revealing mistakes: When Dana is on the nose of the jet, in some shots it is clear she is wearing a harness under her trousers.
- Continuity: When Harry notes the missing page in the printout he stops his car on a sidewalk and the car’s front wheels are straight. After speaking with Albert, Harry returns to the car and it’s clearly seen that wheels are turned to the left.
- Continuity: When Aziz was kicking open the stall doors in the bathroom scene and Harry knocks down the stall door to escape, the angle shows Aziz standing far away from where Harry knocks down the door. The next scene (continuing this sequence) shows Aziz much closer and at a different angle when he starts firing his weapon at Harry.
- Revealing mistakes: When Harry and Gib are being followed by Aziz and two other guys in the station wagon, the view from inside the station wagon shows Gib pulling over and the station wagon pulling over. When it cuts to the view from inside Harry’s car they are just pulling over and the station wagon is pulling over behind them.
- Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When chasing Aziz to the hotel, Harry is going west and tells Gibb to be on the south side. Aziz first turns right and runs into Gibb, which puts Gibb on the north side of the street.
- Incorrectly regarded as goofs: The when the lead terrorist, Aziz was videotaping his threat to United States, he described the island where he was, as “uninhabited”. Of course with a bridge costing millions of dollars leading to that island, it was inhabited with people, but he’s not going to tell the truth to the world when making a threat on videotape.
- Continuity: When Harry is reading the transcript of Helen’s phone conversation with Simon, the first line shows Helen saying, “Helen Tasker, litigation.” But in the voiceover, she says, “Hello?”
- Factual errors: Early in the movie, when Harry is accessing the computer, which happens to be running a version of Microsoft Windows for what probably is Persian (Farsi). This language is written from right to left, just like Arabic and Hebrew. Harr
