Continuity mistake: When Irving goes to see Carmine near the end of the film, his glasses start out being tinted, but when he takes them off, as Carmine hits and kicks him, the tint has gone; even outside they're tint-free.
American Hustle (2013)
1 continuity mistake
Directed by: David O. Russell
Starring: Christian Bale, Amy Adams, Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence
Factual error: In the scene at the airport when the jet arrives, a Diamond Da-40 is seen in the background. This aircraft was not made until the early 90's, a decade after the scene takes place.
Irving Rosenfeld: She was the Picasso of passive-aggressive karate.
Trivia: The events of the film are inspired by and loosely based on the real-life "Abscam" - an FBI sting operation during the late 1970's and early 1980's.
Question: Was tempered glass routinely used in the time when Irving Rosenfeld was a boy breaking out store windows?
Answer: Modern tempered glass was developed and patented in the early 1900s and was in general use by the 1940s. It would have been routinely used by businesses at the time Irving was breaking out store windows when he was a boy.
