Continuity mistake: When Button is picking his feet Robert Duvall tells him to move downwind. After he does so, you can see many cattle on the hill behind him. The scene cuts back to Duvall and Costner. Seconds later cuts back to Button and the cattle are gone.

Factual error: In the final shootout, a man is shot with a shotgun, and the blast comes through a wooden wall. It blows his body clean across an entire street outside the building, and he hits the wall of the building on the other side of that street. This never happens with firearms. No one is ever lifted off their feet, let alone blown across entire streets, etc. Physics declares that for this to happen, the shooter of the gun would have to be blown back with an equal and opposite force.

Trivia: When the movie first opens up, you see this big green scenery with cows coming out of the bottom corner of the screen. In the widescreen version there is a cow, or bull rather, getting a little frisky with one of the cows there. It lasts for only about a second, and you can see that one of them is up a little higher than the others so it stands out.

Question: When Baxter and his men ride into town, he brings 8 hired guns with him for a total of 9; but when the fight starts, there are only 8. Baxter and 4 men confront Charlie and Boss, in the street, and 3 go round behind the buildings. What happened to the 9th man?

Answer: I believe he is the one being chased by the townfolks, after the gunfight is over.

Answer: The man you see being shot at in the end was the man who ran off once the sheriff had the kid, and Baxter was going to kill him. So, just before the shooting started again, this man ran off away from Baxter. What you see the townsfolk shooting at is this man who ran off just before the end, where Baxter and the sheriff had the boy and were counting down.

Answer: I noticed this as well. The person shot at the end of the film is the same man that was with the sheriff when they were held in the jail. He was a deputy and did not ride in with the land baron.
