'Troy': Umbrellas

Despite a massive box office attraction, the 2004 epic Troy received mixed critical reviews. Perhaps if the writers had done a little more study, the criticism might not have been so harsh. In another blunder, we find Paris and Helen biking through the streets while shaded by an umbrella. The problem is that the Greeks didn't design this sort of umbrella until the 5th century BCE, about 800 years after Troy was conquered.
