chaseracer Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Domestic Management is recovering from The Lurgy. She is currently watching an early Tom Hanks film, set in Jerusalem in 1942. So far, I have spotted: Austin A40 DevonMG TDAustin A30 vanWillys CJ-2A Also, didn't they drive on the left in the British Mandate of Palestine? I lost the will to live after this, and Management has run out of cushions to throw at me. strangeangel, Junkman, somewhatfoolish and 15 others 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddyramrod Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 They do this all the time. Props departments simply do not do their research! Made In Dagenham, for instance, about the upholstery department's fight for equal pay at Ford in the 60s. You'll see cars going down the production line.... Escorts, mk2 Cortinas, mk1 Cortinas....yeah ok! chaseracer and mercrocker 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

somewhatfoolish Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Series 1 Landrovers(1948 onwards) put in an appearance at the end of Ice cold in Alex despite it being set in 1941; presumably whatever bits of the British Army that were loitering in Libya were so equipped in 1958 and the film luvvies didn't care that the 'jeeps' weren't Jeeps.

tooSavvy Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Follow the Fleet (Fred & Ginger) Towards the end they have a cut-in 'exterior' of the US fleet gathering at the gate, San Francisco. Intriguingly the long shot includes a little bogie/cart - dangling in the air from a nest of cables... ... stringing the cables for the Golden Gate Bridge??

timolloyd Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Not quite a movie, but I've been watching The Crown on Netflix. The then Princess Elizabeth and Philip are on safari in 1952, and there are series 2 and 2a Land Rovers being used. I'm sure someone more well versed in 50s coachbuilt cars could spot many more errors. richardthestag 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slappy Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Watched 'The Accountant', a Ben Affleck thriller a couple of weeks ago. At 1 point there is a flashback to his character growing up in France. Nice US spec 505 front and centre... Also, I feel the owner of said vehicle should probably be on here for owning such a fine thing! eddyramrod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooSavvy Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 IIRC... Ben Hur shows (long over shot/background far away..) a lorry driving up a hill road ... no, I don't have the film/Netflix to check TS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lankytim Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 I think it's unfair to mention the aircraft used in the battle of Britain film as they were deliberately used rather than being mistakes. It was all they had available. Now a Rover 600 used in Ashes to Ashes... FFS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
