Ben Hur: The Star of David
Ben Hur: A Tale of the Christ stars Jack Huston in this new adaptation of the 1880 novel by Lew Wallace. However, the Star of David the protagonist wore wasn’t accurate. It might have made an impact, but it doesn’t match the historical records. Evidence has shown that the symbol has only been in use since the 12th century.

Unforgiven: Belt Loops
We’ll let it go this time, but only because this masterpiece deserves a spot in the Western canon. It was directed by Clint Eastwood and stars himself alongside Gene Hackman and Morgan Freeman. The movie was set in 1880 Wyoming so the fact that Gene Hackman has belt loops doesn’t make sense. It threw us for a loop because they would only become the norm during the Roaring Twenties.
