Corrected entry: DeNiro and Kilmer were at least ten yards from the bank entrance and on their way to the getaway car when spotted by Detective Casals who was driving up to the bank. Al Pacino then gives the order to park the car and walk up to the bank. Almost 1 minute later, DeNiro and Kilmer are still walking to the getaway car. Tom Sizemore made it from the bank entrance to the getaway car in 22 seconds. Deniro took at least 55 seconds, and Kilmer took at least 1:15 to walk the same distance (30-35 meters max). Kilmer also no more than 5 meters behind DeNiro when they walked out of the bank.

Corrected entry: During the final robbery scene, Al Pacino is armed with a Belgian FNC (Fabrique Nationale Carbine) - a rifle not used by any law enforcement agency in the U.S. (01:46:45)
Correction: It's not officially issued, but officers are allowed a certain amount of preference. If they feel more comfortable with a certain type of weapon, and they pay for it themselves, and it performs the same function for whatever given operation, they'll usually be allowed to use it. You'll notice many police officers carry .45 or sometimes .357 handguns instead of the standard 9mm issue models.

Correction: The scene with Pacino dosnt necesarily show that it takes place in real time, it most likely takes place a minute or so before they start exiting the bank. He probably knows that it would be really awkward for both of them to try to get in the car, seeing how both of them have huge bags of money on their back, and assault rifles under their clothes, which would leave them pretty defensless as they tried to fumble their way into the car. Plus, if you watch closely, you can see that Kilmer starts to hang back a little bit once he gets about halfway to the car. Obviously, he's the last man to enter the car, so he's the one designated to look out for trouble. We see thats the case as he's looking out for police, and spots them in an instant when they show up.
