This is where I hate movies and their dodgy continuity. The pickup in the main image is clearly not the same as the one in the scene showing the pickup arrive at its location (which is clearly not the same either):![[Image: foxholeincairo196006010725.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/32612/23/foxholeincairo196006010725.jpg) ![[Image: foxholeincairo196006010729.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/32612/23/foxholeincairo196006010729.jpg) If a movie uses two different vehicles posing as the same one, should both be listed, or is an explanatory comment sufficient for the second one? |

^ You've watched the film and I haven't , so your judgement is a big element in a flexible situation. Would a normal viewer have enough opportunity from the footage to spot the switch? Are the two vehicles pretty much the same make/model and year? (I know diddley-squat about 50s US pick-ups) If the answers are respectively no and yes, an explanatory comment should be fine. But if you think it's clear enough onscreen and the substitute is sufficiently different, post both with explanations and let one of our more knowledgeable admins make the call. |

The answer to the first question is likely 'no'. While the pickup in the thumbs is on screen longer than the main one (6 seconds to 3), I didn't realize it was two vehicles until I started sorting out the images when I noticed the door trim and the much bulkier rear mudgard on the pickup in the main image. They (the trim and the mudgard) are only visible for a couple of frames before a dark filter is applied to the scene, perhaps to hide the fact it's a different pickup and divert the viewer's attention from the pickup to its antenna. I don't know the answer to the second question as I'm utterly clueless myself. But a 1955 pickup is awfully anachronistic for a scene set before the battle of El Alamein... |

The pick-up in the thumbs is a Dodge/Fargo B-Series, 1948+. |

... which suggests separate pages are appropriate. |

Noted and submitted (as Dodge since it didn't feel right to submit a model without a make). Thanks. |
