Green Street Hooligans

Factual error: When Wood's character and the gang go to the match which is supposed to be between West Ham United and Birmingham City the teams we actually see in the football action shots are West Ham United and Gillingham.

Factual error: Before the trip to Manchester, we see Charlie Hunham and Elijah Wood outside King's Cross station (London's station for trains to the North East & Scotland) with a GNER train in the background. In the next scene, they are shown inside Paddington station (London's station for trains to South Wales, Devon & Cornwall) catching a First Great Western train. The next scene shows a shot of a Silverlink County train, which run from London Euston to Northampton and Birmingham. In these three consecutive scenes we are shown 3 different trains, run by 3 different operators, none of which actually serve Manchester.

Revealing mistake: In the final fight scene we see Matt hitting a guy in the arm with a piece of wood. If you watch closely when he hits him the wood vibrates, indicating it is made of rubber.

Matt Buckner: I've never lived closer to danger, but I've never felt safer. I've never felt more confident, and people could spot it from a mile away. And as for this, the violence? I gotta be honest - it grew on me. Once you've taken a few punches and realise you're not made of glass, you don't feel alive unless you're pushing yourself as far as you can go.
