Corrected entry: In the scene where Lincoln and Jones are in the cop car just before the semi hits them, you can see a picture of a Detroit Red Wings Captain on one of the buildings. Since they are supposed to be in L.A., it's doubtful they have that many Wings fans. Part of the movie was shot in Detroit.

The Island (2005)
Correction: However, most of the city shots were done in Detroit.

The Island (2005)
Corrected entry: When Jordan and Lincoln are being chased in the city, you can spot some Nissan Murano SUVs going by in various shots. This would be impossible, considering the film takes places in a future setting and, the Murano is a recent/present model of Nissan.
Correction: Nonsense. The film takes place in 2019, only 13 years from now. Most cars last longer than that, making it entirely plausible that that particular model could be seen on the streets.

The Island (2005)
Corrected entry: We find out that "The Island" is set in 2019, but how come everywhere people go there are things from 2005? There are loads of cars that people have now, plus the advert Jordan 2 Delta looks at when she reaches LA (the CK eternity advert with Scarlett Johansson) is from 2005.
Correction: Fourteen years is not that long a period of time - many people still have cars of that age, and some car designs don't change that quickly, so it's entirely plausible that we'd see a reasonable number of vehicles that look very familiar, and the same applies to other items. As for the advert, in story terms, that's not the 2005 advert with Scarlett Johannson, it's a more recent 2019 advert with Sarah Jordan, who merely bears a startling resemblance to the earlier actress.
