Movie Mistakes Made in Iconic Movies

Tweet

Take the sunglasses worn by Jamie Fox in Quentin Tarantino's "Django Unchained"(2012). A western set in the 1800s. One of his iconic props is some round cool sunglasses that weren't even available until the 20th Century. What about the cultural phenomenon "Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark? This great action-packed movie came out in 1981. Indie is globe-trotting and in one bazaar scene set in 1930s Egypt, you can see one of the production crew walking along decked out in a 1980s t-shirt and jeans. And, finally, what about The Ten Commandments made in 1956. A beautiful blue silk dress is worn by Anne Baxter who played Nefertiti. The dress is lovely and is a sheer design. But the Egyptians did not have dyes available to them at the time the film takes place to make this particular color. We still enjoyed these movies and, I will wager, that none of us noticed these mistakes. There are crews whose job it is to make sure films are kept authentic and that continuity is kept throughout. But, still, some things obviously get past them, even today. Do you know of other mistakes like this made in the movies?
