One of the film's most memorable action beats is the brutal fight between John McClane (Bruce Willis) and terrorist henchman Karl (Alexander Godunov).

The brawl ends with Karl strangled, seemingly to death, by a chain and left hanging in the rafters. However, one viewer recently noticed the presence of a distinctly un-chained "Karl" in the background of the very next shot.

The last time we saw Karl, he was hanging next to a wall opposite the stairs, yet in this shot we can see him - or possibly a mannequin intended to resemble Karl - standing at the top of the stairs, many feet from where his unconscious body should be.

Considering this mistake makes little sense even when accepting it as a continuity or editing error, cue the urban legends about Die Hard being a haunted production.
