There is a plethora of 80's and 90's automobiles in "Rudy." There is also a poster of the World Trade Center when Rudy is waiting for the bus to go to Notre Dame, even though it wouldn't have been completed yet.
And dont forget movie cliches.
trains usually are full of them,even though we have had one piece welded track for years you still hear the clickety clack of the rails. engines have a steam engine whistle sound even though its a diesel engine.and sometimes they even put in a chug chug steam engine sound on a diesel locomotive!
and dont forget cars always screech their tires even on snow ,ice or even sand!
classic france cliche, where ever you are in france the window of you hotel room always overlooks the eiffel tower.and you can always run away from an explosion.
Just saw a really good one last week: In the classic White Christmas, there's a scene on a train where Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye sing the song "Snow". In closeup, Danny Kaye appears to be singing, but the voice heard is Crosby's. It's hilarious.
Very likely every historical film ever produced has errors of some kind. They get the characters wrong, create or revise events, the weaponry, armor, and battles are incorrect, things like that. Just two very popular films of this nature are Braveheart and Dances With Wolves, both of which were loaded with historical errors, DWW being particularly bad. For history buffs it can be almost painful to sit through films like that.

I found it incredibly annoying that Braveheart kept trying to portray William Wallace as a "freedom fighter" when in fact what was at stake for the vast majority who would be impacted by the struggle was whether they were to be ruthlessly exploited by local Scottish lords, or ruthlessly exploited by English lords.

not to mention the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe and the Southern Pacific Railroad they're suppose to be on on there way to vermont dont run to vermont!
In Rosemary's Baby, Guy calls her by her real name when she starts falling after he's drugged her with the pudding. "He says, "Mia."
In Moonstruck when Loretta's (Cher) grandfather walks into the kitchen with all of his dogs, they are running in front of him but their leashes are in front of them too and it is obvious they are being guided by someone off camera.
This isn't a movie, but in the episode of Columbo "Etude in Black" (John Cassavetes plays the conductor who kills his mistress), Columbo asks Blythe Danner (playing the wife) "What does quasi una fantasia mean?" She tells him, "Its Latin for like a fantasy." It isn't Latin, its Italian.
