Trivia
Special effects house Double Negative created a composite shot of Theo's approach to the Ark of the Arts by pasting a bridge over the M3 roadway in Surrey in front of the Battersea Power Station. See more »Goofs
Continuity: During the first continuous shot following Theo leaving the coffee shop, the reflection on the coffee shop door shows the faces of a patrol officer and a group of people just outside the door and walking to the right. Yet when the camera exits the shop, the cop does not appear in view as expected from the reflection, rather the cop and group instantly appear further down the street to the right. See more »Quotes
