I loved the car chase in Gone with the Wind
Tyler:
So when helping prepare dinner, I was straining some egg noodles and attemptign to start cooking the meat for my beef stroganoff. I quickly turned on the stove top, and returned to other prep work. Unfortunately I turned on the wrong burner, and set fire to the recipe I was using, which I so wisely left atop another burner. Disaster was averted, as I managed to quickly douse my culinary directions and get on to business.
More importantly, I was doing as such while watching Demolition Man, starring the wonderful Wesley Snipes. I could not help but thoroughly enjoy the sheer number of anachronisms throughout the plot. By the time credits rolled, it dawned on me that so many things could be made better with fashionings of another time period.
So this challenge is now sent to you, forums. I want you to rewrite an existing movie scene with blatantly obvious anachronisms from either the past or future.
Muskets in Star Wars, Russell Crowe sipping on a beer between battles in Gladiator, Rick and Sam discussing the Packers chances of winning the Super Bowl in Casablanca.
Show me what you've got.
Dazed:
Frodo valiantly sacrifices himself, for the good of Middle Earth, by detonating a high-yield nuclear bomb in the center of Mount Doom.
Butch and Sundance survive their final standoff by rolling out of the building with M16s.
Tyler:
Elaborate! Scenes, not summaries!

In the final battle scene in The Patriot, ion cannon pulses are fired into the oncoming enemy as blaster rifles send their green and red beams across the battlefield.
But since the ion cannon functions as a contained version of an electromagnetic pulse, which only effects electronic equipment, it doesn't do shit, and the Brits lose even harder.
Mel Gibson stabs the one guy with a lightsaber.

This was after they drew straws and Sam got the short one, but since he and that girl-hobbit were going to get married before he had to go and save Middle Earth, Frodo detonated it instead so Sam could return and live out his life with her.
