- TriviaDirector Edgar Wright once parked his car in a parking garage, only to realise that, by complete coincidence, the car next to him had a stylised "BABY ON BOARD" sign, with Baby's (Ansel Elgort) face taken from the film's poster. Wright left a note on the car's windshield that read, "From the director of Baby Driver, I approve!!!", complete with his signature.
- GoofsDarling is shot in the right arm. Minutes later when she's eating in the diner, her right arm has no blood on it, and her jacket has no hole in it where she was just shot.
- Crazy creditsThe "ding" in the opening Sony logo turns into the sound of Baby's tinnitus.

Featured review
There's no doubt some impressive work here, some cleverly designed sequences and some tasty long takes with some lively dynamism.
However Edgar Wright is a director that seems to get more immature as opposed to maturing with his audience as his films go on.
Baby Driver, a film idea that was, no doubt, pulled from a drawer of high concept, high-school ideas from Mr. Wright, has that sort of aged 90's Tarantino vibe, from the musical OTT dialogue, attention to soundtrack, and the Natural Born Killers style star-crossed main characters. Unfortunately that makes the idea very dated and the promise of a musical car-chase movie a bit of misdirection. It's more of a 90's gangster film with a painful hipster hand guiding it, interspersed with music videos made of car chases.
There's some humour, neat little ideas, satisfying and creative moments, but they're unpleasantly jammed in to a a few moulds that don't do some of the core concepts justice. Lily James is a delight but her character is shortchanged, the idea of replacing core characters for each job is nonsensical probably to get rid of actors to other commitments. And the less said about the two dimensional Darling and Kevin Spacey the better.
