* DevelopingDoomedCharacters: The other G7 leaders all get brief EstablishingCharacterMoments: the Canadian prime minister is a [[CourteousCanadian kind and attentive family man]], the Italian PM has a [[MayDecemberRomance much younger First Lady]] on whom he lavishes his attention (pulling strings for a private tour of Westminster Abbey for her ''thirtieth'' birthday, while he's in at least his sixties), the Japanese one is frustrated by the prospect of not arriving on time, the [[FrenchJerk French one]] takes care to arrive fashionably ''[[PunctualityIsForPeasants late]]''... however, this bit of characterization doesn't save them from getting unceremoniously massacred to [[SacrificialLion prove that the terrorists aren't playing around]].

** In real life, the large scale infiltration of Metropolitan Police, first responder, and Queen's Guard units by the terrorists would have been practically impossible.[[labelnote:explanation]]The City of London has a notoriously strict restriction of police units, medics, and ''especially'' for the Queen's Guard. While possibly the police and medics could have been infiltrated, the number of terrorist infiltrators would not have been nearly as large as it is shown in the mvoie and absolutely none of the Queen's Guard would have been infiltrated.[[/labelnote]]
