Die Hard - Not so Fast, Smarty
In the television newscast where the "terrorist expert" is being interviewed, he brings up the possibility that the hostages may have "Helsinki Syndrome." Then one of the anchors, Harvey, says "As in Helsinki, Sweden." The expert corrects Harvey by saying "Finland." While Helsinki is, indeed, in Finland, the actual name for the syndrome the expert is talking about is the Stockholm Syndrome. And we all know that Stockholm is in Sweden. So maybe Harvey wasn't that dumb after all.

Highly unlikely. This definitely would appear to be a slip-up on the part of the script writers, who obviously didn't have, or take, the time to research this. Good find!

maybe they just wanted to be sneaky and make you think about which one it really was. maybe they wanted to say the stockholm syndrome but for some reason were unable to and so they made a round about way of saying it. hmmmmm.

How do you know what he said and what he meant was different? While there is a Stockholm sydrome, they may have made up the "Helsinki Syndrome" for the movie. Maybe the dude writing the book (Who is a 'authority on world terrorism') made a new syndrome in the book called "Helsinki Syndrome"
