Revealing mistake: Just after Wade gets threatened and his home is about to be bombed, he leaves his van trying to call his friends. After this shot, the camera pans over a load of scrap cars. Whilst the movie is meant to be set in America, at least 3 UK registered cars are visible in amongst the scrap cars, still wearing their UK plates. These 3 rather unremarkable cars, a Ford Mondeo, Fiat Punto, and Ford Fiesta Courier van, are unlikely to have ended up in the US.
Suggested correction: Though unlikely, not impossible. This is a future scenario and it's not far fetched to think that some economic crisis prompted people to buy import cars and then never given US plates. Or they were imported for parts. Or some UK workers using their own car.
This is a ridiculous correction. Why would Americans seek out right-hand drive cars from the UK when Canada, Mexico, and South America all use left-hand drive and are significantly closer than the UK? It would have been at least plausible if the vehicles were in some way special, but none of the three vehicles are in any way special; they would cost more to transport than they are worth.
