Trivia

For the final sequence, the films choreographer was lying just in front of the stage, out of sight of the cameras, shouting out instructions to the actors.

The original cut of the film was too short, so three months after shooting ended, some more footage was shot, including the football/exercise montage. Robert Carlyle is not in that sequence; the actor was working on another project by then.

Goofs

After the arrest scene, when Gaz calls to Dave in the store the audio says, "Dave! Oi, ya deaf git," but his mouth clearly says "Dave! Oi, ya deaf twat".

In the funeral scene, Lomper is playing the hymn "Abide with Me" on cornet, and his fingers are clearly visible playing the notes. He plays every note correctly until the last line, where he swaps the two notes on "[ab]-ide with [me]" - he should be playing straight down the scale Bb,A,G,F and in fact plays Bb,G,A,F.

In the opening scene, the character of Lomper, the suicidal red-haired man, appears initially marching in the back row of the factory band and then re-appears almost immediately as the security guard.
