All team (210)

• Liam Neeson performed all the fight scenes himself.
• In the film "Hostage" (2007), Brian Mills tells the kidnappers over the phone what he will do and what they are up against, to which they reply: "Good luck." And in the film "Hostage 3" (2014), it's the opposite – Frank Dotzler tells Brian what he will do and what Brian is facing, to which Brian replies: "Good luck."
• In the film, at the 33rd minute, Kim's height is listed as 6'4" (193 cm) in the police profile, while the actress Maggie Grace is actually only 5'9" (175 cm) tall.
• When Mills is interrogating Stuart St. John, he accuses Mills of sleeping with his wife. In the original version, you hear him say "screwing" in that moment, but lip-reading shows he's actually saying "fucking."
• In the scene where Brian interrogates Stuart by dunking him in water, the watermarks on Stuart's t-shirt change between shots.
• At the beginning of the film, when Brian is being chased by the police, he manages to escape by crawling under a truck and then into the sewer. He completely submerges himself in water. However, when he emerges from the sewer, his shirt is only wet up to the collar.
• When Mills steals the police car, it sustains damage to both the front and rear. However, later it becomes apparent that these damages have disappeared.
• The jet pilots request takeoff from runway 2. The very next shot shows them taking off from runway 5L.
• Brian calls Kim after managing to escape the police, and when he hangs up, a beep is heard on Kim's line. Kim has an iPhone, which does not make that sound when a call ends.
• The Porsche crashes into the front landing gear of the plane, but in subsequent scenes, there are no signs of damage on the car.
• In the scene where Brian enters the skyscraper's elevator, he grabs a defibrillator and knocks out two guards, applying a separate electrode to each. A defibrillator will not work on a person if only one electrode is used, rather than two.
• At 33:19 in the film, Lenore's car is identified as an AUDI A8 Spyder – in reality, the car model is an AUDI R8 Spyder.
• When Brian meets his daughter in the restroom, we see a top-down shot. We see a standard narrow stall, 14 tiles wide. There are no windows. In subsequent shots, when showing the father and daughter’s conversation, the stall becomes very wide, and a window appears in the wall.
• In the scene where Stewart gets into the car, he gets into a Mercedes-Benz S500 W221, and in the very next shot, it’s clear he’s driving a Mercedes-Benz S500, but the body style is now a W222.
• When Melankov is talking on the phone in his house, he is holding the phone upside down.
• In the final scene at the crashed plane (1:34:12), when Dugrey Scott pulls out the protagonist's daughter by her hair, we see him holding the muzzle of a gun to her head – sometimes above her head, sometimes at ear level. In the next shot, when the daughter breaks free by hitting him with her elbow, we see that the gun muzzle is slightly in front of the daughter and below her chin.
• At the end of the film, when Stuart and Kim are driving to the airfield, Stuart is clean-shaven. Two minutes later, at the airfield, he already has stubble.
• In the film "Hostage" (2007), Brian Mills tells the kidnappers over the phone what he is going to do and what they are up against, to which they reply, "Good luck." And in "Hostage 3" (2014), it's the opposite – Frank Dotzler tells Brian what he is going to do and what Brian is up against, to which Brian replies, "Good luck."
• In the film, at the 33rd minute, Kim’s police profile lists her height as 6'4" (193 cm), while the actress Maggie Grace is actually only 5'9" (175 cm) tall.
• When Mills interrogates Stuart St. John, he accuses Mills of sleeping with his wife. In the original version, you hear him say "screwing" in that moment, but his lips reveal that he's actually saying "fucking."
