Trivia for The Big Steal
A TV can be heard to be showing Malcolm
(1986), which has the same producers.
The car yard (set up in for the film in Victoria St
Richmond an inner suburb of Melbourne) was so real that
the crew kept receiving genuine offers from the public
wishing to purchase the vehicles.
Goofs for Big Steal, The (1990)
Continuity: When we first see the lads in the car park,
you can see one of the Tropicana Free Parking vouchers on
the wall of the office (near the lightswitch). It's not
till later on that they actually make the vouchers.
Crew or equipment visible: When Gordon puts down the
phone after speaking with Mrs. Clark, a hand comes from
under his desk to put the mouthpiece back in place.
