Artistic License – Biology + Artistic License – Nuclear Physics: Apparently you can carbon-date gold bars.Anachronism Stew: Played for full effect in the opening scene where five Confederate cavalrymen guarding a gold wagon are massacred by a single man, when he suddenly produces two laser-sighted M91S submachine guns from under his coat.
