You rant about costumes.
I'll rant about ordinance.
Before Pirates of the Caribbean came out, there was talk about the curse of
all pirate movies.
Cutthroat Island failed miserably.
Cutthroat Island had cannon firing bright orange fireballs.
Where did they get all of these cannon that used gasoline/kerosine?
And Highlander used a London pattern anvil 200 years before London pattern
anvils were invented.
....but I'd expect 99.95% of the audience to never even know the difference
between a step and a flat anvil.
