Corrected entry: George Carter's Vauxhall Viva is an HB series four-door saloon. It would have been built between 1968 and 1970; but the number plate, which has an "M" suffix, would have been issued between August 1973 and July 1974. It is a criminal offence to fit a later number plate to an earlier car. Get a grip, George.

Continuity mistake: When Regan and Bianca first jump on the bus to escape the hitmen you can see through the windows that there are only six people on the lower deck, but when the scene changes to inside the bus all the seats are full. (01:00:24)

Correction: When this film was made in the 1970's the number plates on Carter's car would have been legal, as the re-registration system that was in force at the time would mean that his Vauxhall Viva would been issued with the then-current suffix ("M" in this case). The current age related re-registration system was introduced around 1983.
