Corrected entry: The movie is set circa 1868 (e.g. mention of three years passing since being wounded in the Civil War), but a cash register is seen in the saloon. The first cash register wasn't introduced until 1879, and the "traditional" style seen in the saloon wasn't available until years after that.

3:10 to Yuma (2007)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: James Mangold
Starring: Christian Bale, Russell Crowe, Ben Foster, Peter Fonda, Logan Lerman
Factual error: Although the movie was set a few years after the Civil War, the train was equipped with modern automatic couplers.
Ben Wade: Well, would you look at all this? You all spared no expense this time, Byron. I gotta say, though, it's probably cheaper just to let me rob the damn thing.
Question: McElroy is gutshot at close range. Operated on w/ rusty pliers, no drugs. Minutes later he walks around, and next day seems fine as he rides in a posse. Totally impossible! Shouldn't he be dead?
Answer: Obviously. But to quote Josephus, movies is magic.

Correction: Actually, the movie is set in 1884. Dans remark about "three years of hell" refers to the amount of time they have spent in Arizona trying to get the ranch to turn a profit, not how long it's been since he lost his leg. See http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt0381849/faq for more details.
