The top mistakes in The Bank Job http://www.moviemistakes.com/film7282 en Sat, 19 Jul 2008 05:55:46 +0000 133963 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. 135866 In the end credits, the characters are grouped into categories - the category "THE VILLAINS" is misspelled as "THE VILLIANS". 138076 When Terry hits the old man to the floor it's clear that under the grey coat is padding, to protect the actor. 138716 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. 138025 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.
