Anachronisms in otherwise serious period media that bug the hell out of you and make you go ‘What Were They Thinking?!’

For example, Barry Lyndon, by STANLEY KUBRICK, is supposed to be a serious period drama, and it mostly gets it right, but then you get…

THIS HAIRCUT.

What the FUCK? Not only have I seen no portrait of a man from the 1780s (when this part of the film takes place) with that hair, especially the top, it’s clearly a 1970s hairstyle trying to look royal. The website where this image is from even finds it ‘deeply offensive’. No shit when it looks like THIS.

So what other anachronisms in period dramas that otherwise go unnoticed bug the hell out of you?
