John, The problem was that the helicopter WASN'T hovering... A pyrotechnic charge threw a clod of dirt into the tail rotor after which things got out of hand.

As for pointing out oopsies in the movies, I saw The Rocketeer in which the bad guys were armed with P38's which entered service in abut 1940 while the scene was set just prior to WWII. Also saw a movie about Rourke's Drift in which the Brits had MKVI Webleys in a scene set in the 1880's or thereabouts.

And there is always the guy screwing a suppressor on a revolver...
