2) Back to the Future (1985) - At the 1955 high school dance, Marty McFly performs on a guitar he borrowed from the band. It's a Gibson ES-345, which wasn't produced until 1958.

4) Battle of the Bulge (1965) - M47 Patton Tank - in fact just about any war film of the time when they just used whatever army surplus tanks were lying around.

6) Driving Miss Daisy (1990) - When Hogue is driving through town several houses can be seen with modern skylights on them.

Just an interesting trivia.
Some of the houses had historical significance and were granted special tax privileges by Georgia to maintain the homes. Those skylights violated the historical requirements and several of them lost their tax privileges after being shown in the movie.

7. Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) - The scene of the flying plane superimposed over the world map shows Thailand. The country was known as Siam in 1936 (when the story takes place); the name became Thailand in 1939.

Good one. Shows it doesn't just have to be an object.

reply

Thanks! 🙂

A map is technically an object, although this one wasn't an actual prop used by an actor in the film.

9) Porky's Revenge (1985) The graduation scene features an American flag with 50 stars despite the film taking place in 1955 when there would've only been 48 stars.
