A man and his horse are being hanged. When Hedley Lamarr looks out of his office window for the second time, he tells Boris he has a special, and Boris replies: I couldn't possibly fit him in until Monday, sir. I'm booked solid. The scene shows the man sitting on his horse, on the scaffold – and you can see power lines in the background. Movie is set in 1874. [They could have been telegraph wires, which were in operation in the US since 1844.]

In the scene at the end of the film when the entire cast runs through the main gates of the studio and out into the street, Hedley Lamarr hails a taxi. As he gets in, a couple of people who are supposed to fight and chase each other are seen on the other side of the street just standing there, seemingly waiting for someone to yell "cut." [Not everyone in the scene is supposed to be fighting. We see some men hugging (and even kissing).]

In the scene where Mongo gives a horse a roundhouse hook, you can see that the stuntman on horseback chokes up on the right rein just before Alex Karras swings, and jerk the rein just before Karras makes contact. [No, looks OK to me.]

On the DVD in the shot where Mongo punches out the horse, the microphone is visible in the bottom right corner of the screen. [I"ve checked carefully and I can't see it.]

Where does Madeline Khan come from? In one scene we see her tied to a stove in Hadley's office, then we see her with the towns people about to blow up the fake 'Rockridge'. [Hedley probably released her after he was done scolding her. We saw in the scene when he brings her flowers that he cares about her at least a little bit, and would have no reason to keep her captive for a long period of time.]
Edit
In the fight in the fake Rock Ridge, Mongo pushes the horse over. You can see that it is a fake horse with sound effects. [Of course it's a fake horse. That's the whole gag of the scene.]

When Sheriff Bart and The Waco Kid are sitting in the sheriff's office, the Waco Kid is shaving. He has shaving cream on his face, he wipes some if it off, leaving some on. Bart kicks a chair and the Waco Kid jumps up and the shaving cream is gone. [The waco kid is shaving. He shaves all of it off before standing up.]
Edit Corrected by Mr. Freeze
In the scene where Bart and Jim are finding out what Hedley Lamarr is up to, Hedley shoots a man for chewing gum. Two minutes later he shoots the gun twice more, which is impossible with a two-shot Derringer. [A sharpster like Hedley Lamarr could reload a Derringer ten times in two minutes, and he's offscreen for most of that time. If I only had one gun, I'd keep it loaded - wouldn't you?]
Edit
In the scene where Gene Wilder demonstrates his "quick-draw" speed to Clevon Little, you can see Clevon drop the chess piece Wilder was supposed to snatch from the board, in his lap. [The chess piece is not the one Gene Wilder snatched up. If you look closely you can see that Cleavon Little dislodged the one to his right when he spread his hands apart and it fell.]
Edit
During Lily's "I'm Tired" number, watch when she reaches to rest her hand on the shelf behind her. She obviously misses the first time. [It was a deliberate (and subtle) visual gag. Madeline Kahn was a brilliant and talented actress with a wonderful comedy sense. Because she was so good, the deliberate mistake looks real.]
