Lack of police in the London chase scene.


I know there are numerous plot holes in this movie from a historical POV, but focusing squarely on the movie itself, I found the chase scene round London annoying for the following reason.

London, and the area immediately surrounding Buckingham Palace is one of the most heavily policed areas in the world. You so much as fart and the authorities know about it.

So 3 cars and a large stolen beer truck ripping up central London, with people firing randomly into traffic and crowds of innocent civvilains not attracting so much as one policeman or one police car is a bit shocking.

Yes, yes, I know it was needed for the movies, but it could have been filmed much, much better while presevring the storyline.

Agreed. I hated car chases that are just there to fill time.
