It's a classic madcap caper-type movie, in which ex-con Charlie Croker (Michael Caine) comes up with an intricate plan to steal $4 million worth of gold by stashing it in three Mini Coopers. The scene was mostly improvised, which caused visible lighting irregularities since the crew did not know where the actors would be.

The original 37mm gun was removed and replaced with a water cannon. The black Fiat Dino coupé of Mafia boss Altabani was bought by Peter Collinson but became so rusty that only its doors remain.

The coach at the end of the film was a 1964 Bedford VAL with Harrington Legionnaire Body, distinctive for its twin front steering axles.
