10 Movie Mistakes You'll Never Unsee

10. John McClane Isn't Really Barefoot - Die Hard

One of the most memorable aspects of John McClane's (Bruce Willis) one-man crusade against Hans Gruber (Alan Rickman) and his terrorist outfit in Die Hard is that McClane does the whole damn thing barefoot.

Yet pay close attention during the climax, when McClane discharges a machine gun on the Nakatomi Plaza's roof and FBI agents Johnson and Johnson (no relation) open fire upon him, and you might notice something most peculiar indeed.

After McClane leaps down to a lower level of the roof and shouts, "I'm on your side, you a**holes!," for a brief moment we can see that Bruce Willis isn't actually barefoot, but wearing a thin, flesh-coloured shoe over his feet. The shoe's seam is blatantly visible below his pant leg.

This was obviously done for practical reasons, given the safety concerns of having Willis actually running around performing stunts in his bare feet.

These fleshy shoes are perhaps best associated with Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings movies, where the Hobbit actors all wore similarly rubber-y shoes intended to resemble actual feet throughout the shoot.
