<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 354794, member: 4626&quot;]Well they were that, at least.</p><p><br /></p><p>I noticed mainly because Michael Brady&#039;s signature always looked to me as if it said &quot;Zichael Bush&quot;... Brady had a very odd way of signing his name lol...</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway presumably if the movie was supposed to be set in 1980 the most recently printed 100&#039;s that could have existed would be series 1977, signed by Morton and Blumenthal.</p><p><br /></p><p>Normally I wouldn&#039;t have noticed, but they showed the bills pretty clearly... the Coen Brothers were pretty obsessive about making the movie faithful to the book, even to the point of setting it in 1980... the bills really stand out in that regard.</p><p><br /></p><p>For some reason the one error that I notice more often than anything else in TV and movies is when the movie or a given scene is supposed to be set in a specific time period, and prop details inappropriate to the period show up.&nbsp; It actually happens pretty often... they assume people won&#039;t notice usually, and even if they&#039;re careful, they can&#039;t catch anything.&nbsp; For some reason I notice more than the average though... it&#039;s especially noticeable in period pieces where they&#039;re trying to portray a speicfic event and try to get all the details accurate to the time period; when they go to such extreme levels of detail, the details they get wrong stand out more.&nbsp; Noticed it a lot watching Titanic.&nbsp; Just on the first viewing, I noticed the filter cigarettes that shouldn&#039;t exist yet, the mention of Lake Wissota, an artifical lake that didn&#039;t exist yet, and the ferris wheel at the Santa Monica pier, which didn&#039;t exist yet, as of 1912.&nbsp; The Statue of Liberty at the end of the movie was also quite a bit greener than it should have been by 1912... it took longer than that for the pure copper to oxidize to its current patina.&nbsp; They did get the coins right though lol... as far as I can tell the British and American coins they showed were period appropriate.&nbsp; Though the dime Rose pays Jack with seems iffy... it&#039;s hard to tell if it&#039;s a Barber or Mercury dime (should be a Barber dime, if period correct.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Could make a rather long list of incorrect historical details I caught at one point or another lol... only other one I&#039;ll mention here is when I watched Thirteen Days and noticed one of the generals, in what was supposed to be 1962, had Vietnam service ribbons on his uniform.&nbsp; Oops![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
