[edit] Trivia

The model tram that Malcolm "built" ran on a motorbike engine, the rest having being put together with spare parts by workers at Preston Workshops in Melbourne, Australia. After the film was completed, the tram was donated to the Tramway Museum Society of Victoria.

In the late 1990s, a man bought a furnished house (which also contained a lot of junk) in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. To His surprise, the garage contained the yellow getaway car from this movie. The car had not been seen since the film wrapped.[citation needed]

The remote controlled car used by Malcolm to rob his first bank is a Tamiya Sand Scorcher (model number 58016).
