No you stupid Hollywood person, its wrong.

The primary reason is that they do not want to risk hurting the horses. Productions get a lot of flak when horses get hurt during filming even if it is from something that is a normal danger to horses. They are not going to risk it just for the sake of historic accuracy that only a big horse buff would care about. As far as post-production goes, that is a cost issue. They are not going to pay for an expensive process that does not add to the story.

There are practical reasons for some of the inaccuracies Hollywood propagates.

Yes, I believe I said that I knew they didn't let them go barefoot because it's bad for the horses' feet/legs. I'm cool with that. I reserve the right to be as inordinately bothered by horse shoes as other people are about whether a this gun *sounds* like a that gun or hacking is "As seen on TV," though. It isn't accurate.. which is kind of the point of this post.

People acting straight-faced with an obviously fake British accent.
Luckily, I'm seeing this less and less but occasionally there are cringe-worthy moments where I'm just like `We dont talk like that!`

I can ignore most things unless they are just really obvious. Like that `High Score in ALL MMO's` mentioned earlier

Not many thing throw me over the edge in the whole of things, but I can name a few:

Gasoline explosions: Sure they look nice and pretty, but a massive airstrike doesn't look like I just blew up a fucking BP oil rig.
Firing sounds: An assault rifle and a heavy machine gun do not make the same FUCKING noise.
Grenade detonation: A Frag grenade can not throw up a plume of dust up detonation, just no.

This one doesn't have to do much with movies, more with video games:

Gatling guns: A gatling gun does not sound like every other machine gun when it fires, by that meaning you can't hear every round firing. They make more of a roaring noise due to there rate of fire.

On another note, my Captcha is telling me to save yourself.

Actually you can hear every individual shot of a gatling gun. Going to nitpick here because the gatling gun is actually over 140 years old at this point. Modern miniguns however do just have the roaring sound.

Otherwise every single one of those points is valid though.

I was just talking about the modern ones, because the only time I have ever played a game which used the original gatling guns circa the Civil war era was Jurassic the Hunted.

Yeah I know, I'm just nitpicky sometimes. Modern ones are generally called miniguns now as a catch all, since gatling gun really just refers to the gun Richard J. Gatling designed. I'm a little anal retentive about this things sometimes, its a flaw.

And the start of 2012, Neutrinos? Causing the whole Earth to bonkers? Dafuq? That is like me saying that the sun (a pretty average, stable star) has just decided to scrap that whole "weak nuclear force" thing and do whatever the F*** it likes. NO 2012 directors, just NO.

In my geology class, we had to watch 2012 and write a paper on all the inaccuracies. Btw, they would have never survived that plane take off being chased by volcanic debris.

You had to write a paper... on ALL of them? That must have been a damn long paper then >.<
What is wonderful is how it gets physics, technology, geology and society all so wrong in ONE movie. While managing to help continue the "paranoia" about the end of the world. That takes skill.

Thankfully, no. We only needed to include three examples and explinations. Listing every inaccuracy would give me hand cramps...

Wow I almost pissed myself watching that.For a second I thought those other 2 guys were gonna jump in on the keyboard.

OT: I agree,just because it's a movie doesn't mean it has a right to disobey logic...right?
