Indiana Jones and the Plethora of Errors

Would you believe the new Indy Jones movie has 57 mistakes in it? 57? Well, sure, some of them are your garden-variety continuity errors, like hair that’s parted one way in a shot and another way the next shot, or different levels of liquid in a glass. But there are also a buttload of factual errors. The movie was set in 1957, and …

“During the movie somebody brings out a gun a point Indy close to the neck; you can notice it as a Glock pistol. Its was made by first time in 1963.”

“The movie supposedly is taking place in 1957, yet the motorcycle that Mutt rides is based on a 2000 or newer Harley Davidson softail, showing the modern day controls and Twin Cam motor, instead of the panhead motor that would have been the period correct engine of 1957.”

“Indy and Mutt fly to Nazca, Peru. Nazca is only 4 hours away on bus from the capital Lima, yet the city they show on the movie is Cuzco, which is 24 hours away from Lima. Cuzco is on the east side of the country, Nazca is on the west coast right next to Lima. Also, back in 1957 only Lima had an airport, yet they show a Nazca airport that didn’t exist.”
