The "Information Age" has nothing to do with it. My friend's older brother (a WW2 buff) pointed out the error in "Raiders" back when the movie came out and he was only 16! None of us cared about the mistake and neither did anyone else I told.Kai Hagen said:The movie got away with that because it was released before the Information Age. And there were less history books available than there are now. And at that time, chances were that an average American wouldn't hear the opinion of someone from Egypt or the UK about that scene. I don't think a new movie would get away with those kinds of wrong historical depictions now. Look at how the Britons reacted to U-571 on the internet.
Things like that are still being done today. Ex. Look at the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies, which have the British East India company in a part of the globe they never went to. It's doubtful that this inaccuracy is common knowledge nor a big concern for fans of the series.
They don't need to film in actual China when they can use somewhere else that resembles it (just as was done with the previous entries).IndyForever said:Spielberg cannot film in China as he insulted them over the 2008 Olympics which meant KOTCS was never released there throwing away millions in box office!
