Continuity mistake: When James gets involved in his first car crash, his car goes out of control and just swerves past the first oncoming car, then he starts to swerve towards the side railings, but in the next shot, the car starts to swerve towards the railings again just before it hits the oncoming car.
Continuity mistake: In the scene where the girl gets shot, when she opens the gate to save her father, her mother goes behind her. In the shot where we see the mother running, the gate is closed. But in the next shot, where the girl is outside running, the gate is still open. Same happens just after the girl gets shot and we see the mother screaming. The gate is closed again, but in the next shot we see how the gate is closing slowly.
James Ballard: You had sex with all those men in cars? Only in cars?

Helen Remington: Yes. They felt like traffic accidents.
James Ballard: After being bombarded endlessly by road safety propaganda, almost a relief to have found myself in an actual accident.
