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 Continuity: 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 falls. 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.
