10 Insanely Accurate Movie Details You Never Noticed

10. Henry's Ring - The King

While The King may not have maximised the potential presented by its enviable ensemble cast, the Timothée Chalamet-led effort is still a rip-roaring experience. Based on a number of plays from William Shakespeare's Henriad, David Michôd's picture chronicles the rise of King Henry V of England.

Entertaining it may be, but factually accurate this 2019 offering is not. Ironically for a film that takes such liberties with recorded history - or the Bard of Avon's plays, for that matter - The King still features a notable piece of accurate detail. Furthermore, it's so subtle that it likely would have gone missed by all but the most eagle-eyed historians.

Chalamet's take on this seminal Shakespearean character can be seen wearing a signet ring - pretty standard fare for an epic historical outing. However, upon closer inspection, the emblem inlaid into the ring is none other than the real-life Henry V's actual signature. It's a minute piece of detail and incredibly easy to miss, highlighting the production's dedication to capturing an authentic screenshot of 15th-century England.
