I figured there'd be a thread about it but I didn't find one, so yeah.... Talking about the movie about John Z. Delorean getting busted for the drug deal. Wasn't a terrible movie. TONS of G-Bodies in there, too. BUT.

GET YOUR CAR YEARS STRAIGHT HOLY CRAP I DONT EVEN

First few shots show Hoffman and his family pulling up to their house in like a 1990-ish Ciera wagon. Then it pops up on the screen.

1977

WHAT

There were other glaring out-of-time (ha) cars in there, from the maroon '87 Cutlass, the '87 Grand National, and IIRC a later Fiero GT or two, a couple Lincolns and god knows what else.

As a movie ABOUT A CAR GUY that features, I dunno, CARS as part of the plot you'd think they could be arsed to get a few things right.

Rant over. :soapbox::soapbox::soapbox::soapbox::rant::rant::rant::rant:

I point out historical car errors in movies regularly to my freinds and wife.

"The movie is in 84 and that car didn't come out until 87!!"

Nobody seems to care......
