Y'all remember at the end of Fargo when Norm gets his painting on the 3 cent stamp? He dismisses it as no big deal because it's just the 3 cent - but Marge tells him that everyone needs the 3 cent when the postage goes up and everyone's stuck with the old ones. "We're doing all right," she says. Fargo is set in 1987. In April 1988, the postal rate was increased by 3 cents.

Mu Cow posted:In The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly there's a scene where they are walking through a forest and get ambushed by some soldiers. The camera then pans over to reveal a massive fortification teeming with soldiers. It would seem like something they would have noticed long before getting ambushed, but Sergio Leone filmed on the principle that things didn't exist until they were shown on camera. This is one of those things popularized by Roger Ebert which is true enough in general sense, but not really as big a deal as it sounds. Many movies follow that principle at one point or another, like in Lethal Weapon 2 when a whole fleet of helicopters manages to sneak up on Mel Gibson's beach house. Cheating geography is kind of a basic building block of editing.
