The triple-decker night Bus was actually built, but it was so top-heavy that it required more than four tons of weight to keep it from tipping over while in motion. The bus traveled at a normal speed while the automobiles crawled around it, allowing the filmmakers to create a super-fast illusion when the footage was sped up.

Fiennes shaved his head for the part, in addition to changing his nose with prosthetics.
