Goofs; factual errors (IMDB):
- At the fuel pump they show Trevor's 4wd being filled with diesel, when the callouts visible on the vehicle indicate it is a '3500 v6', the petrol/gas engine. Later in the film that same 'diesel' 4wd is put out of action when Ned puts petrol/gas in it.
- When Ned is about to board his flight to Adelaide, the announcer calls for Flight QF793 to Adelaide. Flight 793 goes to Perth not Adelaide.
