Kung Fury – a comedy funded through Kickstarter [video]

A couple of "mistakes" that I caught while watching, thought HN might find them interesting:

- There's a reference to Viagra (6:20) but it hadn't been invented yet.

- The "hacking time" sequence around 10:30 contains Java [1] which obviously came from the future.

There are a few others, perhaps intentional. I won't spoil them here :)

Also, when the dinosaur is fighting the Nazi robot, the Swastika flips sides.

Boy, I sure hope somebody got fired for that blunder.

I... thought you were joking before I watched the film.

I'm pretty sure these things are easily valid in a universe where Vikings rode dinosaurs and wielded machine guns.

Don't forget the laser raptors. The presence of laser raptors provides context for anything.

He did an iama yesterday and someone pointed this out. Turns out he went to r/programming asking for someone to write him some code that would hack time. someone sent him Java... or Hackerman invented java so he could write once run any Time.

Actually Hackerman time travelled itself by accident to 2015.

They fight on the Hubble Telescope which was not lunched until April 24, 1990.

I also believe hackTime() was added to the DateTime() API in Java 12, which wasn't released until 2011.

Anachronisms are a no-op when the whole film is build around time travel.
