Line 3:
2007 British movie, [[Very Loosely Based on a True Story]], namely the 1971 Baker Street [[Bank Robbery]]. Set in 1971, it stars [[Jason Statham]], Saffron Burrows and [[Keeley Hawes]], along with half the [[Hey, It's That Guy!]] actors in Britain.
 
Basically, MI5 hire a bunch of criminals to rob a safety deposit vault that contains a bunch of compromising pictures of a senior royal (Princess Margaret in the movie, but possibly not her in real life. You can't libel the dead). Things don't exactly adhere to plan -- thereplan—there's a porn baron and corrupt coppers involved...
 
Definitely not one for the kiddies.
Line 60:
* [[One Last Job]]: Terry promises his wife that this will be the score that will set them up for life, and he'll never commit another crime again.
* [[Pay Evil Unto Evil]]: {{spoiler|Terry [[Kick Them While They Are Down|kicking the living crap out of]] sixty-year-old, kidney-stone-ridden Vogel.}} "This one's for Dave!"
* [[Present Day Past]]: A bit of [[Stock Footage]] for Baker Street station has a sign for the Hammersmith and City line, which didn't exist in 1971 -- being1971—being a part of the Metropolitan Line.
** A tube train is also of the wrong stock for the Northern Line in that period.
* [[Reformed Criminal]]: Terry Leather, at first.
