6. Why Pay That Much Money? (X-Men: First Class)
2011’s X-Men: First Class was the first movie in the X-Men franchise that depicted the younger versions of the likes of Charles Xavier (Professor X) and Erik Lensherr (Magneto) – played by James McAvoyand Michael Fassbender, respectively. Some of the movie shows Xavier at the end of his university days at Oxford and one such scene – in a bar on campus – contains a rather weird error.
Xavier orders a pint of bitter, a brandy and a cola – for himself, a girl he is chatting up and his stepsister Raven – and pays with a £5 note. The movie is set in 1962, when £5 was worth the equivalent of around £100 – or $150 – and yet the barman neither batted an eyelid or offered change!
