Trivia
Writer and director Mike Hodges chose the beach as the setting for the climax for its bleak, dark atmosphere, but when he returned to shoot the scene, he found it bathed in bright sunshine, unsuitable for the somber conclusion for which he was hoping. He waited several hours until the sun began setting to capture the overcast shadowy lighting seen in this movie.
Quotes

Bollock naked with his socks still on?

Gerald Fletcher:
What for? For protective purposes?
Goofs
