Continuity mistake: When looking at Hattie's file, the picture changes in the file. It's only a slight change but look to the top right corner, in the first shot of the picture where it's being lifted up there are 2 or 3 green lines in that corner. In the close ups those lines have gone. (00:14:55)

Factual error: When the Eteon bike is riding over the cars in the alley, the registration plates are completely the wrong format for the UK. Most cars use either the "A 123 BCD" or the "AB 12 CDE" format. Some personalized plates can be different such as "38 G." However none use the format shown in the film "D51M R9S" (00:36:20)
