Mistake Continuity: When the crook kicks the door on a building in the fake town it falls over, but the same building falls over again when the dynamite goes off.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: When Bart enters the saloon to deliver the candygram to Mongo, his shadow can clearly be seen against the painted backdrop behind him depicting the street scene.

Mistake Audio problem: Towards the end when everyone is running around the studio lot fighting, there's a tour group getting ready to enter the cafeteria. The tour guide's mouth doesn't even remotely match what she is saying.

Mistake Continuity: In the scene when Mongo first comes into town and the man on the horse says "You can't park that animal here." Mongo punches the horse and its rider and the horse fall down. Before the cut to the close up of the man (obviously the stunt double), his head is facing toward the horse's head. After the cut to the close up of the man, his body is facing the opposite direction.
