No Country For Old Men:
-
Anton Chighur uses a Gen 2 Glock 19 in one scene. This is anachronistic because the movie takes place at some point in the year 1980. Glock handguns were introduced into Austrian military service in 1982, became available for purchase by civilians starting in 1983, and were introduced to North America in 1985. Furthermore, the Glock 19 specifically was not produced until 1988.
-
In another scene Anton Chighur uses an Interdynamic KG-99 that seems to have been converted to full auto, meaning it's possibly supposed to be a TEC-9 in the context of the scene (the McCarthy novel calls it a TEC-9). The KG-99 was introduced in 1982, and the TEC-9 was introduced in1984.
Shutter Island:
- Leonardo Dicaprio's character (Edit: Ben Kingsley) uses the term "zombie" at one point to describe the effects of a lobotomy. This is anachronistic because the film is set in 1954. It wasn't until the film Night of the Living Dead in 1969 did the term come to mean a mindless, shambling corpse. In 1954 the term zombie would have been more associated with Voodoo and witchcraft, as in a mind controlled servant magically bound to a sorceror.
