Trivia: The Nelsons' license plate tabs reads "APR 66." The minions land in 1968 New York. Obviously the Nelsons are such criminals that not only is robbing a bank a family activity, but they refuse to pay their license tab fees to keep their car registration up to date.

Other mistake: Two cars with the same license plate numbers are seen as the minions are hitch hiking on the road. The plates of the hippie wagon and the old lady's car both read D-6413.

More quotes from Minions

Question: It is 1968, and in the trailer it says "42 B.G" which 42 years later would be 2010, which is the first film. But the ending of this movie implies that the minions have been working for Gru since he was a child. So why is "42 years Before Gru"?

JaxxJaxx

Chosen answer: The writers wanted to keep Gru's cameo at the end of the film a secret for the fans of the franchise. So, saying "42 Years B.G" (before Gru) in the trailer doesn't give the surprise away.
