Continuity: When Josey was in the general store picking up supplies with the Indian man and women, Josey was handed a picture of Slim Fixin. If you watch carefully, he walks out with the picture. When you see Josey after he has walked out of the general store, he does not have the picture in his hand.

Visible crew/equipment: In the scene where Laura is being attacked in the desert, the camera swings wildly. During this swing, the entire crew becomes visable for a split second. You can see Clint Eastwood (who also starred in the film) sitting in his director's chair, wearing a white t-shirt and watching the filming closely.

Factual error: The movie takes place in year 1865, when the U.S. Civil War ended. In the scene, where Lone Watie sneaks up on Josey and Moonlight sneaks up on Lone, the revolvers that both Native American actors are wielding, are equipped with Richards-Mason cartridge conversion kits, you can see the ejector-rod housing on the right side of the barrel. These conversions were not made until 1870's.Other characters as well use these conversion-revolvers throughout the movie.

Factual error: http://www.gatlinggun.net/specifications/ The gatling gun that Josey Wales uses has a magazine with the capacity of up to 20 rounds. Neither Josey or the Red Legs ever bothered to reload the weapon. The gun would have been empty after the 6 barrels revolve about 3 times. Josey alone shoots for a couple of minutes straight.

Continuity: When Josey rides into Ten Bears' camp, Ten Bears bends down and puts some blood or war paint on his forehead. When he stand up the paint above one eyebrow is applied well, the other one is smeared. As Ten Bears is talking to Josey, both of them are well applied.

Continuity: When Josey, Lone Watie, and the Indian woman stop in a town, Josey listens to the General store clerk who hands him a postcard that shows "Slim Fixin" after he was killed. The postcard is actually a real life photograph of gunfighter/outlaw Bill Doolin after he was gunned down.

Continuity: 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.
