It looks clearer and more modern than a 70s film. If it is a 70s reel, where does the modern beauty come from?



Best Answer

Because audiences in 2016 want to see 2016 standards of beauty and not 70s standards of beauty. In-universe, it is still a 70s skin flick.

If you are talking about the technical quality of the film, they just declined to go all out and add clicks, pops, static or any other sign of 70s movie technology aside from the vintagging and color cast of 70s technicolor. The technical accuracy was not high on the films to do list.
