When McVicar is running away from the prison, he's wearing the prison issued shoes and their loud soles can be heard. As the music starts and he's running down the street he's back in his Adidas trainers.
When McVicar escapes, he is running up the street and he passes the same two-tone Bedford van twice.

At the end of the film a caption says that McVicar was arrested in 1970. This means that the action in the film took place in the late 1960s before his arrest. However throughout the film, in the street scenes, there are cars from a later date. This is most notable in a scene where the E-type Jag turns right, behind what appears to be a Mark IV Cortina - a late 1970s model.
