Sally Phillips, Eugene Simon, Paul Cooper, Lee Armstrong, Alexander Lincoln, and David Perkins in The Fence (2022)

Goofs

The Fence

Edit

Continuity

After Liz surprises Andrew dancing and punching the bag while listening to Kajagoogoo, his headphones repeatedly change position between shots.

Factual errors

When the two blokes rock up to drop someone off in the gold coloured Mk 3 escort, the registration mark is wrong as Mk 3 escorts started with W registration whereas that one was R registered which is before the end of the Mk 2 escorts.
Though the exact time the movie takes place is never directly specified, references to Jaws 3-D as a "new" film, released in the UK in December 1983, would place the film firmly towards the end of 1983, or at the very beginning of 1984, during Christmas time. Yet the clothes worn by the characters and the fact trees and plants are in full bloom indicate it is obviously not winter.
The gold Volvo 164 parked on the street the Knights reside has a "Y" reg, which would indicate 1982 manufacture. However, the 164 ceased production in 1975, seven years earlier. It's possible, though implausible, that the car could have been an exceedingly late registration.

Revealing mistakes

When we first meet the character Liz in the back of the car, she is sat next to a boy who is wearing his 80s designer top, unfortunately it is a "Luke" top, and Luke (an Aston Villa fan) did not start his designs until the year 2001.

Anachronisms

The character of Terry Roach wears a bird's nest haircut, sometimes referred to as a "zoomer perm". This would have been a very unusual haircut to wear in the 1980s, and was a lot more common in the late 2010s and 2020s when The Fence was shot.
Several cars in the film feature number plates in the "Charles Wright" style font, with thinner, more widely-spaced letters designed to be more clearly read out by onlookers and police officers. These weren't introduced until 2001, long after when The Fence is supposed to take place.
Ice Cream Mike's van, despite having a "W" registration plate, indicating 1980 manufacture, is built on a Ford Transit that didn't enter production until January 1986, and is driving with alloy wheel covers that didn't enter production until the 1990s, if not later. The ice creams the van advertise are also clearly of a 2000s or later vintage, from the "Treats" brand of ice cream.
