** One of John's friends bemoans that he had the chance to get into Website/{{Yahoo}} on the ground floor and didn't take it, so John is sure to tell him as a kid to remember "Yahoo". A BrickJoke at the end of the film implies he's now extremely wealthy. The choice to use Yahoo for this plot point plants the film as firmly in the last 90s-early 2000s, when Yahoo was still huge.

Fingerprinting was used in 1969; Frank can't use the prints because they're only from some guy in a bar, with nothing connecting Jack to the Nightingale killer. If there were prints on the Nightingale victims, Jack would have been caught without John's interference.


** A critical plot point is Frank getting the Nightingale's fingerprints, which he can't make much use of but John can, by matching the prints in his time; that means Frank lived in a time when fingerprint analysis wasn't as widespread as it is now. That the Nightingale wasn't worried about leaving his fingerprints on a piece of evidence also shows that forensic science was much less advanced.
