For the first time today, I watched the trailer to Michael Bay’s new movie “13hrs”. It’s about the raid on the US embassy in Benghazi which left a couple of people dead, including the US ambassador to Lybia. Anyhow, the incident happened on September 11, 2012 and was a real bummer for US-Lybian relations, to say the least.
Now watching the trailer, I caught something. A blink and you miss it type of moment. It was this:
The front of a Mercedes Benz W-212 E-Class. Nothing special, right? Well, it’s a FACELIFTED Mercedes Benz W-212 E-Class. Still nothing special? What if I told you, that the W-212 facelift was only unveiled in January 2013, during the Detroit Motor Show and went on sale a couple of months after that.
2013 is not 2012 Mr. Bay. You are lying to us! What are you trying to hide?! What is your secret agenda?
Shame on you, Mr. Bay. I expected so much more of you.

Clearly we have no choice but to create a congressional committee to investigate Benzghazi

In the film ‘633 Squadron’ supposedly set in 1944.
But has a 1958 Land Rover.
and another 1950-60s Land Rover fire engine (Airfield Crash Rescue Tender).
For context. Land Rover didn’t exist in 1944.

Michael Bay doesn’t believe in silly things like “period correct” or “continuity” or “learning what the place you’re basing your movie in is actually like.”

Or a late model (late 60's, early 70's) Land Rover Series II at the end of The Man from UNCLE, which is supposed to be set in 63/64. I don’t care about the buggy that couldn’t possibly exist because “Bad Guys in a Secret Lair” could invent anything. But the Land Rover bugged me a lot...

Or the 96 E39 BMW that pops up in ‘91 in Narcos.
They also a 944 which IMCDB claims to be an 83 model, but it looks younger to me.

Even our conspiracy theories have sponsored content these days.

A time travelling Tom Hanks drove a 97+ Cherokee in Castaway. They made of apoint of telling you it was 1995 at the beginning.
I was 18ish when I saw the movie, and it bugged the hell out if me every time that jeep was on camera.

That’s a III. Plastic shield grill. ‘72 or later, in other words. Interestingly, it appears to have NATO lights on it, so is ex-mil.
