History Channel is notorious for using clips

and heavy equipment are my favorites.

The quickest way to get a smack it to keep stopping movies
to say "look, they're using the correct pin and link coupler
for the railcars!"

Or, "look, that's exactly the right phone for the period, it's a 102."

Or "they never used that kind of cord on telephones then."

Some of the set dressers are getting very, very good. One of
the best period films to watch is _Road_to_Perdition_ because
those folks really knew their stuff. I can only find
one or two goofs in the entire thing.

One of the best I've ever seen is the movie "ZULU" - the one with Michael
Caine and Jack Hawkins.

Among other "details", they even managed to find Martini rifles for the
cast to use - and use properly!

"ZULU" is one of those movies that I can't walk
away from when it's on. Superb attention to detail,
acting and a great story.
