Unintentional Time paradoxes/anachronisims:

1. Dazed and Confused - When Mitch goes to purchase beer at the convenience store, a Coke dispenser with a logo first introduced in 1985 is visible. The film is set in 1976.

7. Pearl Harbor (2001) - When young Rafe and Danny are playing in the biplane at the beginning of the movie, the year is 1923. The airplane appears to be a Stearman trainer, which was not built until 1936. Plus, they inadvertently started the engine from the cockpit, which would have been impossible in 1923 since there were no electric starters at that time. One of them would have had to swing the propeller by hand to start the engine.

8. I'm surprised Steve hasn't chimed in with this:
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly is filled with misdated weaponry. All the main pistols keep changing from period correct nib & cap when they carry to later era cartridge when fired. The long guns are cut down Winchesters made to look like Henrys and when Tucco is assembling his gun, amongst the parts is a modern .38.

I was going to kick it off with the Colt SAA revolvers everyone carries in A Fistful of Dollars and For a few Dollars more, which would have had both films set at LEAST a decade after The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. Or the fictional machine gun that couldn't exist in A Fistful of Dollars (and was later reused in Django). I just figured the weaponry issue was just too convoluted. At least they tried with weaponry that was appropriate for the period for TG,TB,&TU (no Colt Single Action Army Peacemakers!). Cartridge conversions are safer for the actors than the percussion cap and ball models, and Leone at least cared enough to have the cap and ball models on screen when they weren't being fired. Yeah, i have way too much time on my hands.
