Sweeney (1977)

Continuity mistake: The bus stops, and the hitmen are behind it in the blue Volvo estate; a white car stops behind the Volvo. When Regan and Bianca get off the bus there are no cars behind the blue Volvo, the angle changes and the white car is back, and the hitman shouts out of the passenger window for the driver of the white car to back off.
