The Outlaw Josey Wales corrections

In the scene where Josey and Jamie are about to ride off after killing the two bushwhackers (Abe and Lige), Josie spits tobacco on Abe's forehead. Look closely and you can see Abe's eyelids twitch. Also, notice where the tobacco lands. In the first shot, it's right next to Abe's receding hairline. But in the next shot, it's much closer to his eyebrows. This is quite obvious. See more...

Josey Wales delivers the line, 'Hell with them fellas. Worms have to eat, same as maggots.' then spits on the dead man's forehead. In one shot they show the spit hitting the dead guy's forehead and his eyes are closed. When the camera changes the dead man is blankly staring straight up.

The Josey says to Laura, "I'm from Missouri - you'll have to show me." The "show me" line was first publicized in a speech by the Governor of Missouri in 1899, several years after the movie was set. [That doesn't mean the saying was not in common usage well before the governor said it in a speech, not a mistake.]

Josey Wales opens up on the Red Legs with the gatling gun. In one shot in particular, about six calvary mounted soldiers ride right in front of Wales. Josey easily shoots the soldiers but somehow misses all the horses they were mounted on. [He is aiming above the horses and hits the men in the chest/head.]

When Josey is riding toward the comancheros, the Indian man says that the sun is in their eyes and that this will give Josey an edge. Problem is, when he says this, the sun is on his back, not in his eyes. [The Old Indian man meant that the sun was in the comancheros eyes, not his and Josie's. Of course the sun being on the old Indian man's back would give he and Josie the edge, because that would mean the Comancheros have the sun in their eyes and are thus blinded by it.]
