Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)
In the very first installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean, the now-iconic saga had one tiny flaw in their costuming. When the infamous Captain Jack arrives at Port Royal, the British soldiers are seen holding him at gunpoint while wearing red coats. The movie takes place in the 1720s, but the British Empire didn't issue these uniforms until 1747!
Public Enemies (2009)
Johnny Depp portrays the dashing John Dillinger in the film Public Enemies, a bank robber in Depression-era America who is considered a pest by J. Edgar Hoover and the newly-formed FBI. Here, charming Dillinger can be seen wearing a modern, simplistic robe that, while cool, would have been too expensive at the time, and likely would not have worn it in the first place.
