My family gets mad at me because I like to point out when they have someting wrong on cars in movies. IE: In DAZED AND CONFUSED, in the initiation scene in the school parking lot, there is a GM Fbody in the background with IROC-Z rims on it... but the movie is set in 1976. And one of the trucks is a 79 GMC

There is exactly one vehicle in the film Bridge on the River Kwai (which that took place in 1943).
The Chrysler sedan used at British HQ in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) is a 1948.
Wrong year vehicles in films is nothing new, wrong year/types of firearms have been used in films since day one.

I have a few friends that are amazed that I can identify most old vehicles in tv/movies. I tell them it's what I'm into. Now if your talking computers, these same friends of mine know it all. They start talking comp tech stuff and all I hear is greek. LOL

My wife doesn't like it/ignores it when I point out old cars n trucks in movies, but she gets down right pissy when I interupt her oxygen channel movies. Sometimes when that happens objects suddenly fly my way...

my wife will call me into the room when there is an old truck in a movie she is watching, even if it is just a Chevy, Dodge, or GMC
