In order to tell Archie where the loot is hidden, Ken imitates a flying jet, and Archie immediately states "Heathrow". That may be okay for people who don't know London, but Archie is born and bred - he would have to know that Ken could be alluding to any one of the two major or two large regional airports which serve London - Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted or Luton (London City wasn't open in those days). He's a lawyer - he wouldn't jump to conclusions like that. (Why didn't he ask Ken to write the address down?!?). [Given that Heathrow is the most popular airport, Archie took a guess...which Ken didn't correct...that it had to be that one. Also Ken was driving the motorcycle they were on. He would have taken him to the right airport anyway.]

Shortly after the robbery, Kevin Kline and Jamie Lee Curtis get together in a little flat and Kline calls the police from a landline to tell them who committed the robbery. In England this would immediately lead the police to the flat from which the call was made. [Otto (Kevin Kline) was calling to report the name of who committed the robbery, this would not require the police to race to his location.]

When Wanda goes to Archie's office, Archie is told that he has a meeting at 12:15 with Sir John. When he gets the call from his assistant telling him that it's time for his meeting, his watch says 10:15. [He is told the meeting is at 12:30 and his watch shows 12:25.]
