• Before starting his acting career, Vinnie Jones was a professional footballer, playing for "Chelsea" for a time, and earned the nickname "Bonecrusher" for his playing style.
• In the first scene of Danny's arrest, his silhouette in the car constantly changes: sometimes he is in a left-hand drive car, sometimes a right-hand drive, and vice versa.
• When Mian is talking to the prison warden during a timeout, the scar on his cheek is missing.
• After being beaten by the guards, Mian is pulled away, and his shoes without laces are visible on his feet. In the next shot, he is lying on the floor already wearing sneakers, which is unacceptable in prisons.
• One of the criminals is serving a sentence for the murder of more than 20 people, making him a particularly dangerous serial killer. In the UK, people who commit such atrocities are sent to maximum security prisons, which are inaccessible to such a harmless character as Mian.
• During the explosion of the director's car, the walls of the prison can be seen shaking, which would be impossible in real conditions.
