Django Unchained

Factual error: When Django blows up Candyland at the end with a bundle of perhaps 30 or 40 sticks or so of dynamite, he casually moseys out the door, and turns around and watches from maybe 100 feet away. With an explosion like that, completely obliterating an entire mansion, from that distance, the shock wave would have sent him flying and probably killed him. He was far too close to be safe and emerge unscathed from the explosion.

Factual error: When Django and Schulz ambush a group, they kill them with their Henry repeating rifles. That rifle was introduced 2 years later, in 1860.

Factual error: When they enter the big house after the funeral, Sam Jackson is singing "In the sweet by and by", the song was written in 1868, the film is set 10 years earlier.

Other mistake: When Calvin sits down to eat his white cake, the cake is a new slice. When the camera switches and comes back, it is almost gone. When the scene switches again, he is eating a full piece of cake again.

Video

Continuity mistake: When Dr. Schultz shoots Candie, in the 'reaction' shot where it zooms in on Stephen screaming, Candie's bodyguard (the one with the mustache and bowler hat) has already turned around to see what just happened. In the very next shot he now has his back to the camera and then, a second later, we see him slowly turn around again to see what just happened.

Continuity mistake: In the final scene where Django asks Cora to say goodbye to Miss Lara, he holds his arm with the gun outstretched, but in the next frontal shot he keeps it lowered.

Dr. King Schultz: How do you like the bounty-hunting business?
Django: Kill white people and get paid for it? What's not to like?

Trivia: When we see the "regulators" riding over the hill on the way to kill Django and Schultz, if you look carefully at the right-center portion of screen, you can see one of the stuntmen fall off his horse and the horse continues to run down the hill without him. To make matters even worse, it appears the stuntman rolls right in front of another horse and gets trampled. (00:41:00)

Chosen answer: There is nothing in the film to indicate that he is not. He has the paperwork to prove the bounty he was pursuing, and he is not held by the authorities or charged with any crime, so we can assume that he was.
