following examples are closer to SlidingTimescale
to:
both the following examples weren\\\'t explicitly set in the past when they were made, so are closer to SlidingTimescale.
* \\\'\\\'Crank: High Voltage\\\'\\\' has a borderline example. The first film was released in September of 2006, and was implied to be set in the present day and thus sometime also in 2006. The second film is set three months after the first. This would put the second film in late 2006 or early 2007. However Amy Smart\\\'s character is shown using an iPhone in the second film, which was not released until mid-2007. One could argue the first film was set a few months in the future at the time, but a shot of a gas station with prices is quite clear in it, and those price were far lower than the prices in 2007 and correct for gas prices at the time of release and filming. The only explanation is that the first film was set further in the future such as in 2008 after gas prices crashed, but there\\\'s no way the creators could\\\'ve known this at the time and clearly didn\\\'t intend this when it was first made.
* \\\'\\\'HaroldAndKumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay\\\'\\\' is set the day after the previous film, which is set in 2004. Yet Harold is shown using a black [=MacBook=], which wasn\\\'t released until 2006. Not to mention how in the first film he makes a big deal about his laptop being destroyed.
