- QuizThe character of the corrupt Inspector Truscott is generally regarded as playwright Joe Orton's revenge on the police force. He had once served a short prison sentence for defacing library books. The character was, as he conceded, also based to an extent on the notorious Detective Sergeant Harold Challenor, whom he never met, but who had been at the center of a great scandal in 1963. Challenor was found to have planted evidence to ensure a conviction in several cases, including those of innocent people. The fictitious Truscott even uses a catchphrase of Challenor's.
- BlooperWhen the hearse that Dennis is driving goes out of control because its brakes have failed, and the other vehicles in the funeral procession accelerate to keep up, they lurch round several corners. Skid marks from previous takes are visible on each corner.

Got recommended to me by a friend who loves the cars displayed in the film (Triumph Mayflower, car used for the actual heist)... but I must say, I really enjoyed this (seemingly trashy) film: it made up with wit, sharp dialogue and humor for some wicked plot points and awkward slap-stick situations.
It may mystify those hooked on two modern types of comedy film: those which mock the people who don't conform and those which don't ever rise beyond crude vaudeville. Loot sympathises with those who defy and subvert social codes.
The visual aspect of the film got me, as well: the color coding of the set design, character blocking and image compositions are very well done. Very cramped, chaotic, blindingly colorful (enhanced by analogue film and how it filters colors) and brimmed with humor and details. Especially I liked the mansion of the dead mother with its exuberant vintage opulence and vibrant colors. Also the light design is in some scenes just upright genius.
Overall, this gem was LOADS of fun to watch, don't take everything to serious and enjoy the witty dialogues, sometimes SUPER trashy music and exaggerated humor. This is a comedy, made for those who won't take everything to seriously, not even love, death, money and society. It is so dark, it is the brightest thing I've watched in months.
