| Trivia | Jack Wild later admitted he was drunk every day of filming. See more » |
| Goofs | The trains at the Liverpool - Dublin railway/Ferry terminus are neither British Rail locomotives or in Standard British Rail Blue & Yellow livery. This scene was quite obviously filmed in Eire on the Irish Railway network with only a token attempt (a loudspeaker announcement in an English accent) to hide it. See more » |
