Goofs
Before the first robbery, when the 'military specialist' in Emilien's car racks the charging handle on his rifle, the charging handle locks into its rear position instead of sliding forward. This means he had an empty magazine in the gun.

When Émilien puts the police light on top of the car, he closes the door on the wire. When he pulls it back inside the car, he pulls it through the window, which he shouldn't be able to do.

When Émilien puts the police light on top of the car, the camera and the cameraman are reflecting in it.

Q
What's the model of the Red Mercedes that's in the film ?
A
MERCEDES 500 E (type W124.036) petrol 4,973 cc V8, 322 bhp, 4 speed automatic transmission, rear wheel drive and limited slip differential. The Mercedes 500 E was a 4 door sports sedan, hand built by Porsche from 1991-1994. As the diesel Mercedes E class still is one of the most poplular cars used for taxicab service in the northern EU, the standard Mercedes built W124 E class was also very popular for.taxicab use in the '80's and '90's.
Q
What's the model of the White Peugeot -the TAXI- in the film ?
A
The Peugeot is a 406. It is stated in the movie that it's running a V6, and the 406 did indeed come with a 3-litre V6. Judging from the sound of the in-movie car, one can't discard the thought that this particular car might be tuned.
