Goofs

Most of the massed scooters look like they're being ridden by the people who own them in real life, rather than the smartly dressed Mods of that era.

When Rose opens the record player, it has a modern British plug on it. In 1960s Britain plug pins were round. Safety switches wall sockets would not have been in place at this time, either.

Rose lives in a shabby tower block, run down due to many years of neglect - however, the film is set in 1964 when the building would still have been quite new.

There is a Ball Chair by Eero Aarnio in Colleoni's room at hotel Cosmopolitan.

It is supposedly year 1964. The Ball Chair, although designed in 1963, didn't hit the market before 1966.

The café outside of which Pinkie steals the scooter is the distinctive Regency Café in Pimlico, London (although some strategic editing has been used to try to locate it in Brighton, e.g. the signs outside).

Incidentally, this café features prominently in Layer Cake (2004), which most definitely is set in London.

The pier and many surrounding streets were not shot in Brighton. They are either Eastbourne or Worthing.
