Trivia
ADD TRIVIA
- In the scenes where the newlyweds are at the hotel, it is clearly a warm summer's day; but in other shots, for instance when the lorry driver is shot down, we can see bare, leafless trees and visible cold air when the actors are speaking, giving the impression that it could have been sometime during the autumn. Edit
- Bruce Boa and Anthony Bailey appear to have been left out of the closing credits - cameo roles or someone being a bit slapdash with the cast lists? Edit
- When the villains drive past Mr May's and are shooting at him, there is a hedge bordering the garden and the trees look quite full as if it is sometime in the summer, but in the subsequent scenes where the CI5 car arrives, there is no longer a hedgerow and the trees look like they've had a bit of a trim down on the leaf-coverage front! Either the scenes were filmed at different times of the year due to script changes or someone had quickly whipped over it with a chainsaw! Edit
Notes
ADD NOTES
- Writer P.J. Hammond is credited on-screen as James McAteer: he asked for his name to be removed from the final script after certain changes were made to it. Edit
Quotes
ADD QUOTES
- Cowley: The day I cheer my men up I know I'm ready for the scrapheap. Edit
- Bodie: I'm like a fine piece of machinery I need lubrication. Doyle: Yeah, well too much lubrication and that fine piece of machinery might end up with a bullet up its crankcase. Edit
- [The newlyweds are attacked, leaving the groom dead] Doyle: The girl's alright, just a shoulder wound. Bodie: Apart from that the honeymoon was fine. Cowley: Oh let him have his sick joke; jokes are in order. Because the joke's on me. Edit

- Cowley: Every airport was sewn up - and I mean sewn up. Tighter than a Scotsman on Burns' Night. Burns' Night is Scotland's annual celebration of their country's famous poet, Robert Burns. Edit
