\n[post_page_title]Legends of the Fall: Brad Pitt’s blond hair was too beautiful[\/post_page_title]
\nLegends of the Fall starred Brad Pitt who was looking as handsome as ever (per usual). However, his hunky portrayal of Tristan Ludlow wasn’t exactly “with the times.”\u00a0Set in the 1910s, Pitt’s character was sporting 1960s style male hair and stubble on his face. Five 0’clock shadow, no matter how attractive, simply\u00a0was not acceptable back then.\u00a0(See image below).

\n[post_page_title]Raiders of the Lost Ark: An extra is wearing jeans[\/post_page_title]
\nAlthough it’s quite hard to notice anything else in this picture besides how great young Harrison Ford looked in Raiders of the Lost Ark, look harder.\u00a0If you look close enough you can see a person in the background wearing jeans and a t-shirt. As much as we love that casual look, it has nothing to do with the fashion that was\u00a0being worn in\u00a0the 1930s.\u00a0\u00a0(See image below).

\n[post_page_title]Pretty Woman: Vivian’s nightgown changes length [\/post_page_title]
\nWe all watched and loved Julia Roberts (Vivian) and Richard Gere (Edward) in Pretty Woman.
\nWhile filming the most romantic and important scene in the film,\u00a0Vivian’s and\u00a0Edward’s first kiss, the crew was so excited that they didn’t notice one important detail. In the beginning of the scene Vivian’s white nightgown is long and by the end of the same scene it’s already short. Big mistake.\u00a0Big. Huge.\u00a0(See image below).

\nThey sure got digital during the Civil War! The film, which was directed by Edward Zwick and has Matthew Broderick, Denzel Washington, Cary Elwes and Morgan Freeman starring in it, is set during the American Civil War.\u00a0However, in one scene, you can\u00a0see a soldier wearing a digital watch around his wrist. Wristwatches weren’t really around until 1923, let alone electronic ones which only became trendy in the seventies. (See image below).

\n[post_page_title]Dirty Dancing: Baby’s shorts should’ve been a skirt[\/post_page_title]
\nWhile the entire cast and production team of Dirty Dancing were having “the time of their lives,” they didn’t notice that Baby was wearing jean shorts that only became fashionable later in the 1980s.\u00a0The movie, as you\u00a0may remember, is set in 1963, and so it doesn’t really make sense – fashion wise at least. This wardrobe mistake at least doesn’t take away from the beautiful love story between Baby and Johnny (See image below).

\n[post_page_title]Pride & Prejudice: Rubber boots were not\u00a0yet invented[\/post_page_title]
\nThis 2005 romantic drama was based on the classic novel by Jane Austen which was published in 1813.\u00a0When reading the book, it gives you an opportunity to imagine the characters as well as their costumes and really have your own sense of time and place set in your head, something which is part of the beauty in reading books. In the film version, Lizzie, played by the lovely Keira Knightley, wears Wellies, also known as the rubber Wellington boots. Rubber boots, however, as we wear them today were not produced until 40 years later.\u00a0\u00a0(See image below).

\n[post_page_title]Captain America (The First Avenger): The actress’ hair should be up[\/post_page_title]
\nIn the first of the Captain America films, Peggy Carter’s hair reached her shoulder.\u00a0While her hairstyle was true to the decade and without a doubt, done beautifully, it would have been a big no-no in the army. During WWII female soldiers (and special agents) were required to wear their hair up, keeping it off their uniform collar.

\nIf you look closely during the tiger fight and several other scenes, you can see Russel Crowe’s body-colored, high-waisted lycra shorts underneath his Gladiator armor.\u00a0In case you weren’t sure – no, lycra sports shorts were not available during this time period. Ancient Rome, being the exact time period.

\nIn Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, you might’ve noticed some shiny, fancy medals being worn by some of the German antagonists.\u00a0These medals, in fact, were worn towards the end of World War II and the film was set in 1938. The full-scale war hadn’t begun quite yet.

\n[post_page_title]The King’s Speech: The king was wearing the wrong kilt[\/post_page_title]
\nColin Firth gave the performance of his lifetime in the 2010 film, The King’s Speech. His role was important on so many levels, and he had prepared for it for a very long time beforehand.\u00a0Firth played Prince Albert of England who has a speech impediment. However, in one of the scenes, the King is wearing an Irish design on his kilt. If they wanted to be extra accurate though, he should have been wearing a Scottish Balmoral model.

\nJudge Murray is seen in Public Enemies wearing a sleek, modern robe that most judges of his time would not have had access to.

\n
\n[post_page_title]Almost Famous: The Black Sabbath t-shirt [\/post_page_title]
\nThey almost made it with Almost Famous. Who can forget Kate Hudson, Patrick Fugit or Billy Crudup in the 2000 film that was written and directed by Cameron Crowe?
\n
\"Screen
Almost Famous: The Black Sabbath t-shirt<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nWhat people do forget is that little wardrobe mixup that was tiny (but kind of hilarious).\u00a0In one scene, someone is wearing a Black Sabbath t-shirt backstage that was actually manufactured in 1997. The film, however, was set in the early seventies, which is why it doesn’t really make sense.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Pearl Harbor: Bare legs were not appropriate back then [\/post_page_title]
\nWhen it comes to historical or period films, it can\u00a0be a little tricky sometimes to get all of the facts right. After all, neither the producers nor the director\u00a0 probably weren’t alive at the time that their film was set.
\n
\"Screen
Pearl Harbor: Bare legs were not appropriate back then<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nThe film that tells the unbelievable story of how the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, portrays the women at the front wearing skirts but no stockings. There was no way that a woman would be seen bare legged at that time.
\n
\n[post_page_title]The Mummy: the actors switched sides[\/post_page_title]
\nIn the 1999 film titled The Mummy, there is a major continuity error that the director seemed to have overlooked. In one scene, Imhotep\u2019s priests begin to attack and Rick and Jonathan start to fight back.
\n
\"\"
The Mummy: the actors switched sides<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nWhen we first see them, the actors are taking up arms on one side of the room, however, in the next shot, they have switched sides. In the director\u2019s cut of the movie, it is explained that this mistake was due to scene cuts.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Troy: Umbrellas were not\u00a0yet invented[\/post_page_title]
\nOrlando Bloom’s pink parasol in Troy is more than just funny; it’s historically inaccurate.

\nThis specific type of umbrella\u00a0was invented by the Greeks in the 5th Century BCE, which according to our history teacher’s timeline, took place 800 years after Troy was conquered. You still make it look good though Orlando.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Wonder Woman: Superheroes probably wouldn’t wear high heels[\/post_page_title]
\nGal Gadot is the talented actress cast as Wonder Woman in the 2017 film and, needless to say, she did a “wonder”ful job. The only problem was her costume. People were disappointed by the lack of color and wished they had stuck to the original version.
\n
\"\"
Wonder Woman: Superheroes probably wouldn’t wear high heels<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nWhile Gadot’s Wonder Woman costume is definitely more up to date, we have a hard time believing that any superhero can save the world wearing heels. And what is up with the risque choice? Superman is fully covered, so why can’t Wonder Woman be?
\n
\n[post_page_title]Pompeii: \u00a0Purple capes weren’t allowed at the time[\/post_page_title]
\nAnother historical film with a not-so historical mistake. The disaster film which was released in 2014 is actually a co-production between three countries: Germany, Canada and the U.S.
\n
\"movie-11-664x374\"
Pompeii: \u00a0Purple capes weren’t allowed at the time<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nThis is probably why some of the historical facts fell through the cracks. Some of the generals in the film, including Kiefer Sutherland’s character, are seen wearing capes which are purple. However, the Emperor at the time, Nero, punished anyone who dared to wear purple besides him\u00a0with death. Go figure.

\nNo one can forget Mel Gibson’s breathtaking performance when he played the role of William Wallace, a Scottish warrior. The movie, which is set in\u00a0the 13th century, features Gibson wearing a Scottish kilt. However, these were not worn by the Scots until later in the 16th century.

\n[post_page_title]Django Unchained: Sunglasses were not invented yet[\/post_page_title]

\n
\"Screen
Django Unchained: Sunglasses were not invented yet<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nJamie Foxx’s performance as well as the other excellent performances have led the film to gross nearly $300,000,000 in the box office worldwide. One of the most iconic accessories that Django (the main character played by Foxx) wears throughout the movie are his sunglasses, which were not invented until 1929.
\n
\n[post_page_title]The Untouchables: The suit had lapels which didn’t exist yet[\/post_page_title]
\nSo many legendary actors in one film and no one noticed that costume mistake? In the 1987 film which is set in the 1930s, Kevin Costner, who plays the role of Eliott Ness, wears a suit that has lapels.
\n
\"Screen
The Untouchables: The suit had lapels which didn’t exist yet<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nThe only problem is that those were actually made much later and clearly don’t reflect the period of time the movie is set in. Thankfully, this mishap didn’t take away from the film’s success.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Gone with the Wind: the lamps were electric[\/post_page_title]
\nThere are actually multiple scenes that show advanced technology in Gone with the Wind (1939). For instance, there is one scene where Melanie picks up a lamp and an electric cord is clearly visible.
\n
\"\"
Gone with the Wind: the lamps were electric<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nOther times, you can tell that there are electric lightbulbs in the lamps. It would have been impossible for these to exist at the time in which the film takes place because it is supposed to be during the Civil War and electric lamps weren’t invented until about 15 years after the war ended.

\n
\"Screen
The Other Boleyn Girl: Portman’s hair should’ve been pulled back<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nAt the time the movie is set in, the 1500s, the right way to wear those hoods was with a veil attached in the back which hides the hair. This is actually not the only inaccuracy that was apparent in the film, and perhaps that is part of the reasons it got mixed reviews.

\nThe soldiers that are seen wearing red coats, are actually wearing them to represent the British Empire. However,\u00a0these\u00a0uniforms were not issued\u00a0until 1747, while the movie is set sometime around 1720s. So basically, these soldiers are real fashion trend forecasters.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Jonah Hex: Completely inappropriate costumes[\/post_page_title]
\nWhile we don’t think this is the reason the film Jonah Hex was a huge box office flop, it turns out Megan Fox’s costume was utterly inappropriate for the time period.
\n
\"\"
Jonah Hex: Completely inappropriate costumes<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nNo matter who they were, an every day woman or a lady of the night – which Fox’s character was – girls did not dress like that back then. The film took place during the Civil War era and this was a time that women were very modest in their clothing and would never show that much skin.

\n[post_page_title]John Carter: the Princess’ costume was too revealing… or was it?[\/post_page_title]
\nLynn Collins, who plays Martian warrior Princess Dejah Thoris in the Disney sci-fi flick John Carter, admitted her costume was actually altered from the original design at her request.
\n
John Carter: the Princess’ costume was too revealing… or was it?<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nWhile it wasn’t meant to be quite so revealing, when she tried it on, the actress felt the cut should be higher. Although the altered costume ended up being different than what the director had envisioned, in the books the film is based on, the outfits are described as even skimpier – as the Martian Princess should’ve only been wearing luxurious ornaments.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Julius Caesar: The bullet bras were not invented yet[\/post_page_title]
\nBullet bras were one of the most iconic pieces of lingerie back in the ’50s. Wearing those pointy bras was actually considered a norm and anyone who considered herself a lady was wearing one.
\n
\"Screen

\nHowever, as stylish as it was to wear them, there is no way the female cast of Julius Caesar would have been able to own one in 44 BC, as the movie takes place nearly 2000 years before the bras were invented.

\n[post_page_title]The Tudors: Wearing ruffs was almost scandalous[\/post_page_title]

\n
\"Screen

\nHowever, as much as we’d like to think that\u00a0this is a fashion statement, this is not a very accurate look, at least not for Western European women in the 1500’s. Wearing ruffs alone and with no shirt underneath was considered almost scandalous.

\nIt took some time until parents and babies had the luxury of using Huggies or Pampers. In Sense and Sensibility, another great\u00a0film based Jane Austen novel, it’s clear that the material that is used for the baby’s diaper is way too absorbent for the time, it’s almost like a modern diaper that is used in a film that is set in the 19th century.

\n[post_page_title]Picnic at Hanging Rock: The hair did not match the period[\/post_page_title]
\nPicnic at Hanging Rock was set in the 1900s but looking at the female characters’ hair would lead you to falsely believe that they grew up in the 1970s. During the early 1900s, a young girl’s hair was usually worn down and back, while grown women’s hair was usually worn up\u00a0and accompanied by light tendrils.

\nSure, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button had quite a confusing storyline, and if you didn’t pay attention for a few minutes, you could get really confused in the plot.
\n

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button: Pitt’s\u00a0sunglasses were too modern<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nSo we could probably let a few wardrobe mishaps slide here and there. Brad Pitt stars in this unique film and in one scene his character is seen wearing Ray-Ban sunglasses. This model of sunglasses was sported in 1952 while the scene is set in 1945.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Seabiscuit: Strapped helmets were not yet invented[\/post_page_title]
\nThe sweet Toby Maguire played the role of the Jockey in Seabiscuit, which tells the story of the famous racehorse champion.

Seabiscuit: Strapped helmets were not yet invented<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nThe jockeys in the film are wearing strapped helmets, however those kinds of chin helmets weren’t really around until 1956. Meanwhile, the film is set during the Great Depression. The\u00a0movie did receive great reviews\u00a0however, and was nominated for multiple Academy Awards.

\n[post_page_title]The Notebook: Lon’s hair color changes[\/post_page_title]
\nWe can’t imagine anything could go wrong with the most romantic movie of all time, but apparently, even The Notebook had some bloopers.
\n

The Notebook: Lon’s hair color changes<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nNo one can deny the incredible chemistry between Allie and Noah, but there was a time there that she was dating and engaged to a not less of a hunk named Lon. In the scene when Lon waits for Allie after he recovers from his war wounds, his hair keeps changing from brown to black and brown again.

\n[post_page_title]Where Eagles Dare: a 60’s hair style[\/post_page_title]
\nThis\u00a01968 British film was set during the times of the Second World War. The\u00a0movie\u00a0featured some\u00a0of the greatest stars in Hollywood at the time including Clint Eastwood, Richard Burton and Ingrid Pitt.
\n
\"ingrid-pitt-where-eagles-dare-01-720x305\"
Where Eagles Dare: a 60’s hair style<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nThe producers of the historical film, which was filmed during the 1960’s, must have forgotten for a second there that it’s impossible to have had a 1960’s hairstyle like the one Pitt had when she played the role of Heidi, the German waitress.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Pretty Woman: Edward’s tie goes from done to undone[\/post_page_title]
\nAnother big mistake, huge (ok we had to) which was found in the classic film which starred two of Hollywood’s favorites, Julia Roberts and Richard Gere.
\n
\"eed7003252203856e78187338f1c5052\"
Pretty Woman: Edward’s tie goes from done to undone<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nThis time it has to do this time with Gere’s character’s attire. The actor who played Edward was wearing ties throughout the movies. In the famous scene where Vivian watches I Love Lucy, she goes up to him and undoes his fancy tie. She then goes back to watching. The next shot shows the actor with his tie done again, and later undone. Now that’s confusing.
\n
\n[post_page_title]The Great Escape: \u00a0The POW clothes were too trendy[\/post_page_title]
\nIf Fashion Police existed in the 1960’s then they would have definitely arrested Steve McQueen for wearing these modern and very trendy you might say, Prisoner of War clothes.
\n
\"74581088_steve-mcqueen\"
The Great Escape: \u00a0The POW clothes were too trendy<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nThe epic film which was\u00a0released in 1963 tells the story of British prisoners of war who escaped from Germany during World War II. According to the clothes McQueen is wearing, they were escaping during the 90’s more than anything with these khakis and cut-off T\u00a0shirt.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Quadrophenia: \u00a0The band didn’t exist at the time[\/post_page_title]
\nThe British film\u00a0Quadrophenia follows the story two British subcultures and their ongoing rivalry – the rockers and the mods. The\u00a0movie,\u00a0which was shot in 1979, is set in the 1960s.
\n
\"Quadrophenia\"
Quadrophenia: \u00a0The band didn’t exist at the time<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nThis is why it doesn’t make sense that one of the rockers would wear a Motorhead T-shirt, as the group was only formed in 1975. So which side are you on, the mods or the rockers?
\n
\n[post_page_title]Unforgiven: Belt loops weren’t common back then[\/post_page_title]
\nThe 1992 film which was directed by actor-director Clint Eastwood features some of Hollywood’s leading men including Clint himself, Morgan Freeman, and Gene Hackman.
\n
\"movie-13-664x374\"
Unforgiven: Belt loops weren’t common back then<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nThe Western film was set in 1880 in Wyoming. Gene Hackman’s character is seen wearing belt loops in one scene,\u00a0yet this couldn’t have been the case because those weren’t popular or common\u00a0except for in sportswear until later in the 1920’s. This is certainly forgiven though.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Ben Hur: The Star of David was ahead of its time[\/post_page_title]
\nCharlton Heston who played the title role in the film adaptation of the 1880 novel called Ben Hur: A Tale of the Christ, must have had no idea that the Star of David he was wearing on his costume is totally misplaced.
\n
\"movie-12-664x357\"
Ben Hur: The Star of David was ahead of its time<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nWhile it must have been powerful to see it on the character, it wasn’t very authentic because the first records which\u00a0 associated\u00a0the Star of David with Judaism were\u00a0found in the 12 century. The real Ben Hur would have probably been seen wearing another Jewish symbol which was more accurate for the time – a Menorah.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Back to the Future: \u00a0This type of guitar wasn’t\u00a0around then[\/post_page_title]
\nWe have to admit we can be a bit forgiving with this prop mistake, after all it is a movie that deals with traveling back and forth in time.
\n
\"grandes-blocbusters-1985-back-to-the-future\"
Back to the Future: \u00a0This type of guitar wasn’t\u00a0around then<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nIn one of the scenes, Michael J Fox who played the role of the unforgettable Marty McFly, plays the song “Johnny B. Goode” with a ES-345 model Gibson guitar from 1958, when in fact the scene was set in 1955. You could say Marty and his guitar really did fly to the future in this one.
\n
\n[post_page_title]There will be Blood: The waffle soles[\/post_page_title]
\nOk, so there won’t be blood over this mistake, after all it’s just a costume blunder, but it’s still kind of embarrassing.
\n
\"Oscar-Nominee-Blood-Art-Direction-720x480\"
There will be Blood: The waffle soles<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nThe amazing Daniel Day-Lewis played the miner-turn-oil magnate during the late 19th century. The actor is wearing boots with waffle soles in one of the scenes, when in fact these types of soles weren’t invented until later in the seventies by Nike.
\n
\n[post_page_title]The Ten Commandments: Nefertiri’s dress was too advanced[\/post_page_title]
\nThat was a silky mistake, literally. In the biblical film from 1956, which was also one of the most successful films in history, you can see Nefertiri (played by Anne Baxter) wearing a blue silk dress.
\n
\"\"
The Ten Commandments: Nefertiri’s dress was too advanced<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nThe dress the actress she was wearing was dyed in order to appear teal, which is not really historically possible because at the time the movie is set in the only way you could dye sheer silk was by using natural tints.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Pretty Woman: Vivian’s nightgown changes length [\/post_page_title]
\nWe all watched and loved Julia Roberts (Vivian) and Richard Gere (Edward) in Pretty Woman.
\nWhile filming the most romantic and important scene in the film,\u00a0Vivian’s and\u00a0Edward’s first kiss, the crew was so excited that they didn’t notice one important detail. In the beginning of the scene Vivian’s white nightgown is long and by the end of the same scene it’s already short. Big mistake.\u00a0Big. Huge.\u00a0(See image below).
