Sherlock Holmes

Robert Downey Jr. plays the famous character created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in 2009's Sherlock Holmes. When Holmes pursues Adler from Parliament all the way to the top of Tower Bridge, it's an impressive feat, and not just because Holmes was forced to navigate the London Sewers—these locations are actually several miles apart.

Saving Private Ryan

Tom Hanks played Captain John H. Miller, a U.S. Army Rangers Captain leading a squad on a rescue mission to save the last survivor brother of a family of four. After he is drastically injured, Miller can be seen leaning up against a motorcycle. This particular motorcycle model was not produced until 1963, 20 years after the film takes place.
