17 Stupid Mistakes That Somehow Made It Into 2016 Movies

11. London Calling (Two Years Early) - The Conjuring 2

The first scene after the movie's opening title sequence takes place in Enfield in 1977, with The Clash's iconic tune "London Calling" playing over a montage of London's most famous monuments.

The problem? London Calling didn't actually come out until the tail-end of 1979, making the movie two years early. You can argue that director James Wan was merely trying to evoke a certain mood, but it's not like the UK music scene was exactly wanting for smash hits back in 1977.

Why not just use something by The Sex Pistols instead, like "Anarchy in the U.K." or "God Save the Queen", which released in 1976 and 1977 respectively?
