He drives away but the camera stays fixed on the now-visible Jeep parked on the opposite side of the street.

Trivia: The fancy Mercedes is not "the only one in America" (as John Madec said on the movie) but the only one in the world. The car was borrowed for the purpose of the movie by one of the owners of the Formula One team McLaren and was shipped by air from Germany. Hence German licence plates often seen during the film.
Trivia: Paul Jesson and Timothy Spall play father and son in this film. In real life, Jesson is only ten years older than Spall.

Trivia: Josh Brolin Dwight had been previously portrayed by actor Clive Owen in the first film. As originally planned, Brolin would play the character prior to his plastic surgery, while Owen would reprise his role and play Dwight post plastic-surgery. However, Owen was unavailable to reprise his role, and thus prosthetics were used to attempt to make Brolin's post-surgery look subtly similar to Owen's facial structure.
Trivia: Greta handed Clinton (in bed) a mug and after he took a sip, Clinton asked, "What is this - just boiled whiskey?" Greta smiled and replied, "Yeah, pretty much." Greta most likely made Clinton a "Hot Toddy", which is a beverage typically comprised of whiskey (or brandy or rum), hot water, lemon juice, and honey. Hot toddy is used to help alleviate the symptoms of a cold/flu or served as a nightcap to help facilitate sleep (although it may actually interfere with getting quality sleep). (00:51:30)
