Mind the Gap in Munich....
I went to the movies with some co-workers last night to see Munich. I am not up on the history of the events from the hostage crisis at the 1972 Olympics so I can’t speak to the accuracy of the film in the respect. But I was surprised that the guys that check for “time period correctness” didn’t catch the “Mind the Gap” poster on the wall of a bar in one scene (if I recall correctly the scene is about 1/2 to 2/3 of the way through…..which means 1.5 to 2 hours in….it is a good, long movie). It was the classic blue circle and red bar poster you see all over London these days.
I did a search on the web to see if anyone else has mentioned this and I was really surprised that no on else has reported this. I know there are websites that specialize in these type of continuity issues. I will update this post with some links to some if I can locate them later this week.
Explanation of the term Mind the Gap. Ettiquette on the Underground (or the subway….or the Tube”
