Factual error: The opening scene, set in 1970, is played over the song "Get it On (Bang a Gong)" by T. Rex. That song wasn't released until 1971.

Factual error: We see Jason Statham walking into a shop in 1971 which has a Visa/Barclaycard logo on the door. Only problem with that is that the name Visa wasn't brought in until 1977.

Factual error: In the end credits, the characters are grouped into categories - the category "THE VILLAINS" is misspelled as "THE VILLIANS".

Revealing: When Terry hits the old man to the floor it's clear that under the grey coat is padding, to protect the actor.

Factual error: In the scene where Terry makes a phone call to the garage to see if Eddie is ok, Ingrid the receptionist tells him that unless he wants to see Eddie again he must call a number beginning with 01946. However in 1971 the entire area code of London began with 01, it wasn't changed until May 1990 where it split into 2 different area codes. As the film is only taking place in London involving all characters, the area code doesn't need to be given unless Lew Vogel was elsewhere.
