Factual error: The film states that the 42nd blockade is located on the M602 motorway, 27 miles outside of Manchester. The M602 is 3.4 miles away from Manchester at its farthest point and is barely three miles in total. It is a very short motorway. It only has 3 junctions. The filming location was actually the M1, outside Milton Keynes.

Visible crew/equipment: On the shot of Jim walking across Westminster bridge there are visible crew/members of public on the right of the shot at the end of the bridge. (00:09:30)

Trivia

Trivia: The dramatic pause, as the taxi hits the gate near the end of the film, is done so because this was the original ending. Test audiences didn't like the ambiguity of the ending and wanted something more succinct, and so we got an ending-like sequence followed by the actual ending.

Questions

Question: Aren't distances in Europe designated in kilometers? Col. Henry West says he and his men are located 27 miles NW of Manchester. I figured he'd use the equivalent distance in kilometers,43 km. Is this common in Europe to use either measurement?

Answer: The metric system is used in mainland Europe, but very rarely in Britain. Road signs are still measured in miles in Britain, and distances usually are too.
