"10 Most Historically Inaccurate Movies" - Yahoo!
#5
......or the current re-make, called "10,000 B.C." or similar (mentioned). Not only is it ahistorical, but it has 'galloping' mammoths, when no large animal (elephants, rhinos etc) can lift all four feet from the ground (physical limitation due to gravity and scale effect - the reason an elephant or rhino does not have the proportions of a mouse) !!! :roll: Smile D lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

....and to add to Sonic's anecdote, there is the movie where Errol Flynn and the Americans won the Burma campaign single-handed. British 14th Army veterans ("The Forgotten Army") are outraged to this day......funnily enough, you don't see this shown nowadays !! Smile
