Are there any anachronisms in Captain Marvel?
12
Captain Marvel (2019) is set in 1995. During the movie, we see and hear various references to the time period: a True Lies (July 1994) cardboard cut-out in a Blockbuster Video store, posters for Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness (October 1995), and Waterfalls by TLC (November 1994) playing in Nick Fury's car.
Does anything appear in the movie that wasn't yet around in 1995?

I'm wondering about Fury's Chevy Impala, I thought it looked to modern. I wondered about his Herman Miller Aero chair as well, but that was invented in the 80s.

There's a huge difference between the 6th Generation Impalas (1977-1985) and the 7th Generation onward (1995- ). It's really only the fact the '95 has a vertical grill instead of a sloped one and a longer trunk that makes it look significantly different from, say, a 2005.

@martha The black computer equipment could have been SHIELD standard-issue. I do recall seeing a keyboard in the background in the movie that seemed out of place; the keys seemed to have a lower profile similar to most of today's keyboards and unlike the 1992 IBM Model M I'm typing this on. I'll have to look closer once I get the DVD. It might have been Ok.

The movie First Knight is seen over Captain Marvel's right shoulder in the Blockbuster scene, but it was not released on VHS until December of 1995.
As we see Stan Lee on a bus rehearsing his lines for Mallrats, which was released in October 1995, the movie is most likely set earlier than December.

“The movie was clearly set during the summer of that year.” Are we sure about that? It’s pretty sunny during the scenes in Los Angeles, but that doesn’t appear to preclude it being December.

To add to that: We see Stan Lee rehearsing his lines for Mallrats, which was released in October 1995. If it was still being filmed at that time, it has to be earlier than October at the very least. Of course, Stan Lee's cameos may not be canon.

@GeorgeT: aha, excellent point. Technically for all we know, Stan is actually a really-long-lived Skrull in all his cameos, but I think we've got to take the references as they're laid out in the movie.

Couldn't Blockbuster have a promotional poster in the store some time before the actual release? That would seem like a sensible thing to do.

@DaveInCaz I think GotMedieval was saying that we see an actual VHS tape of First Knight on a shelf. Maybe not though? If it's a poster, all bets are indeed off.

Ah yes, excellent spot — although I think it's possible the flashback is to her playing whatever arcade game was in the same spot before being replaced by Street Fighter II.

Ah yes, excellent spot — although I think it's possible the flashback is to her playing whatever arcade game was in the same spot before being replaced by Street Fighter II.

I'm wondering about Fury's Chevy Impala, I thought it looked to modern. I wondered about his Herman Miller Aero chair as well, but that was invented in the 80s.

There's a huge difference between the 6th Generation Impalas (1977-1985) and the 7th Generation onward (1995- ). It's really only the fact the '95 has a vertical grill instead of a sloped one and a longer trunk that makes it look significantly different from, say, a 2005.

@martha The black computer equipment could have been SHIELD standard-issue. I do recall seeing a keyboard in the background in the movie that seemed out of place; the keys seemed to have a lower profile similar to most of today's keyboards and unlike the 1992 IBM Model M I'm typing this on. I'll have to look closer once I get the DVD. It might have been Ok.
