Revealing mistake: In most scenes where you see the group's van, it has the year letter on the number plate covered up. But when they park outside their manager's office, you can see that it has an F registration dating from 1967/8, meaning it would be too modern for the early part of the film.
Stardust (1974)
1 revealing mistake
Directed by: Michael Apted
Starring: Larry Hagman, Adam Faith, David Essex, Ines Des Longchamps
Genres: Drama
Factual error: After the Stray Cats have played at the 1965 poll winners concert, they get into a Daimler DS420 limousine that did not start production until 1968.
Sally Potter: Are you a Stray Cat?
Mike: No, I'm a roadie.
Sally Potter: Roadie sounds like some sort of vagrant. What is that exactly?
Mike: It's like an army batman, only without the uniform. I make sure there's enough beer, chips and rubbers to go round. I supply the birds, the pills and the pot. And anything else that might be required to satisfy their lust... carnal, or otherwise.
Trivia: Ray Winstone is briefly seen as an uncredited extra in an early club performance scene. This was Winstone's first ever appearance on film.
