Dirt Roads In Movies. Pet Peeve.( Among Others.)

Just watch Russel Crowe in his gladiator movie. Typical mistake, last scene is his son running down a dirt track.

Now, back then, a cart or chariot would have two horses pulling ( Mostly.)and the track center would have been chewed up with hoses hooves not a nice long grass lawn !

I lived near Newmarket in the UK a long time ago and there where tracks, but no grass going to or from the stalls and downs.

Also my milkman when I was 6y/o had a one horse drawn milk float. The dairy was all dirt....no grass !

Now I know this is trivial, but it bugs me no end that they spend millions on effects and don't get the scenery right. Guess it's my Asperger's.

Irritates me too. The Revenant had the river currents all screwed up and totally misplaced geography.

I love hearing tires screech in a good B-movie dirt road car chase...

I feel the same way about seeing someone shoot 14 times from a 1911A1.
