Continuity mistake: At the end of the dress rehearsal, when the policeman looks around the corner, someone's shirt appears on the armrest of Nathe's chair. (01:01:40)
Continuity mistake: The lads have been caught by the police during the dress rehearsal. Their names are being taken and the clock on the wall in the police station says 11.40 a.m. - it's in daylight. The security videos are brought in and the time on the one they watch is 12:27. (01:02:15 - 01:03:40)
Continuity mistake: When Gerald's wife throws the gnome on the ground the head jumps away. When the pieces are seen again the head lies together with the rest. (01:06:40)
Continuity mistake: At the end of the strip performance Guy throws his shirt into the audience. A few seconds later, when the camera is on Dave, he is seen again in the background waving his shirt. (01:22:30)
Deliberate mistake: In the very first scene, with Dave, Gaz and Nathan in the abandoned steel works, they only have one girder, but when they're on the car in the middle of the canal, they have two: one balancing on the car roof, and the one Nathe walks across.
Suggested correction: There's been a time skip between the two scenes. They found another girder and took that one as well.
Continuity mistake: When Gaz is trying to cadge £100 of his ex wife at her factory her head is tilted one way on the long shot and the opposite way in the close ups.
Continuity mistake: In the opening scene when the Works band come round the corner, watched by Gaz, Nathan and Dave who are hiding, you see Limper at the back of the band, playing and marching with them. His ginger hair is easily recognisable. Seconds later he's looking up as the security guard. It seems unlikely he'd put his instrument down and leave the band to come and lock the doors. Of course, he appears again in the band later in the film, so we know it was him in the first shot too.
Suggested correction: That's exactly what happened. Lomper quickly ducked out of the band because he realised he'd forgot to lock up. You can see him holding his instrument while he does so. The whole point of this part is to establish that Lomper is a member of the band and works there as a security guard. As such he can provide the gang somewhere to rehearse.
