My first thought as the film opens, those very first few seconds, I thought to myself, is that is obviously a red Ford Mustang he is driving.
Then I thought, "Wait," this film is supposed to be set in the early 1970s.
So that is obviously, to me, a Ford Mustang he is driving.
But even more obvious is that's a model of the wimpy Ford Mustang from the early 1990s (the same style I have written that I myself owned hypothetically in my theoretical life of that time period, as I think now some kind of alter ego car of that red 1990 Mazda RX-7 I loved so much).
So that gave me pause. I paused and wondered if that could have been a 1970s model convertible that I mistook for an early 1990s Ford Mustang.
But no, I just don't see how I could get that wrong. I do not know of any other American car with "5.0" on that front panel. That tells Ford Mustang right there.
I had to pause the video after he finishes driving and walking into a office with a Richard Nixon picture hanging on the wall.
I really doubt a TriStar movie starring Val Kilmer is going to accidently make that kind of goof.
