Continuity mistake: In the final scene when the three squad cars, a Granada, a Triumph and a Cortina, are chasing the villain's Jaguar across the field, the angle changes and the Cortina has disappeared. When the chase changes to a lane the Cortina reappears. (00:46:36 - 00:47:22)
Visible crew/equipment: When the squad cars are chasing the Jaguar across the muddy field you can see the camera vehicle in front of them is spraying up water from the wet grass. (00:46:36 - 00:47:14)
Visible crew/equipment: Camera lights are visible on the white van used by the gang in the getaway for the first robbery.
Continuity mistake: Carter is in the betting shop watching Albert Milligan, when Milligan goes out of the shop you can see through the doorway a red Fiat coupé parked outside the shop which is still there when Carter leaves the shop, but when the scene changes to outside the shop the red Fiat is parked outside the shop next door.
Continuity mistake: At the retirement party when the carriage clock is first seen on the table it is showing the time as 10.10 but when it is being presented to the officer the time on the clock is now 10.05.
Character mistake: After Regan and co jump out the back of the police van and a punch up ensues, Brian Blessed quietly walks away to a white car to make his escape. Regan clocks this and goes after him. Brian Blessed lashes out and pushes Regan away, but growls "Carter..." instead.
Suggested correction: Brian Blessed growls 'cozzer', not 'Carter'.
What does cozzer mean?
"Cozzer" means "copper."
Character mistake: Herbie is making an anonymous phone call to Tony Kirby arranging for him to meet Vaughan. He gives a time 3 o'clock but no location, how did Kirby know where to go when he didn't know who was making the call and no location was given? (00:41:56 - 00:42:25)
Suggested correction: We don't hear the whole conversation. Herbie says "I thought you might like to meet him." Then it cuts to Mr. Kirby. He says "I think so" and is writing something down, but we don't hear what Herbie is saying. Then when he's finished writing he asks "what time?" It's safe to say Herbie was giving him the address and he was writing it down before being told "3:00."
