Mistakes

Josephine, shooting from above, hits Thornton somewhere around his hips, in the area of his lower thoracic or upper lumbar region. The bullet is never removed, and Thornton has trouble later with his right hand going numb. A bullet pressing on the spinal cord in the area where he got shot would impact his legs and feet, not his arms and hands. See more...

Trivia

El Dorado is actually part of a remake trilogy by the same director, Howard Hawks. The first was 'Rio Bravo' (1959); 'El Dorado' was next in 1967; and the final variation was 'Rio Lobo' in 1970. El Dorado is the only humorous (and by many critics acclaimed as the best) version of the three. See more...

When Cole knocks Joey off her feet before she hits the ground you can see that her pants and backside are wet (presumably from a previous take) before she hits the water. [That's your assumption. There's no reason her pants couldn't be wet.]

When Cole Thorton shoots Luke McDonald there are two very clear shots of McDonald's hips and back. He is not wearing a holster and his chaps and pants are to tight to have anything the size of a .45 in his pocket yet he draws a .45 from (presumably) a holster on his right side and kills himself. [Cole actually says to the father that Luke had a handgun he didn't see, so obviously he wasn't wearing a holster. He probably had it in his belt behind his back.]

After Joey shoots Cole off his horse he lands near the water at an angle with his feet near the water and his head about 3 feet away from the water. Then they cut to Joey running down the trail then back to Cole on the ground. Now his head is close to the water and his feet are 3 feet away. [After Cole falls off his horse we see him start to move, then the scene cuts to Joey running. There is more than enough time for him to reposition himself to "play dead".]

When Joey shoots John Wayne, she shoots him from the upper left front position. There's no way the bullet could have hit him in the lower left back. [This is opinion, not fact. It is an unusual angle, but not entirely impossible for him to have received the injury he did from that angle.]

In the scene where JP and Cole follow the wounded gunfighter into Bart Jason's saloon and JP hits Bart Jason in the face with his rifle and then is about to shoot him, Cole yells out, "JP!" Watch Robert Mitchum's mouth. He also says "JP". [He does NOT say "JP". He starts with "I don't know who you think you are, Jason." and just as Cole shouts "JP." he is saying "but I". We just can't hear the rest because Cole is shouting.]

When Thornton has his showdown with Nells McLeod at Jason's saloon, he fires a shot from his rifle before he leaps off the wagon, which takes two seconds to roll off - plenty of warning for his enemies to react; but Nells draws his revolvers just as Thornton fires again, right after the wagon is gone. A professional gunslinger such as McLeod, who lives and dies by his fast reflexes, would shoot back or dive for cover immediately after the first shot. [This is NOT a film mistake - it is your rewriting of the script, your opinion of how the film should have played. If it is impossible for Thornton to react in this way, then it's a mistake. Since it is merely unlikely - i.e. possible - then this posting is invalid.]
Edit
When Joey (finally) shoots Bart Jason, she fires her Winchester twice and he falls after the second - but there is no indication about what happened to the first shot. [She missed. It happens all the time.]

[Mcleod believed Thornton to be both disabled and unarmed. As Thornton himself stated in the movie, this gave him the edge. Mcleod was simply caught off guard.]
