Children of Men

Visible crew/equipment: After the roadside ambush scene, when the police pull the car over, Luke says "I can't outrun them" and the camera follows Theo looking out the back window. In this shot you can see the top of the head of a crew member wearing headphones crouched down in the small boot space behind Theo's chair. Also, after Luke shoots the two policemen, just before Theo gets out the car you can see a piece of the elaborate camera rig sticking out over the top of the car, above Theo's door. (00:29:40)

Continuity mistake: Theo goes to Jasper's house at the beginning of the film. He is petting a cat. The cat is facing left. Cut to Jasper eating something. Cut back, the cat is facing right.

Factual error: Jasper is implied to live somewhere south/southeast of London, however when Theo meets him at the railway station signs can be seen reading "Alresford", the filming location, which is in Hampshire and too far west to be a plausible meeting place.

Kee: Dylan. I'll call my baby Dylan. It's a girl's name, too.

Trivia: When Theo goes to visit his cousin at his apartment at Battersea Power Station, an inflatable pig can be seen flying between the smokestacks, a recreation of and reference to the cover of the Pink Floyd album "Animals," whose vision of society the film mirrors.

Question: Was the birth scene real? It seemed completely real, and the woman appeared to actually be pregnant earlier in the film.

Chosen answer: No, it wasn't real. Good make-up and acting, that's all.
