Corrected entry: The opening scene takes place in 1933 and shows a young boy in a cowboy outfit looking at dioramas in a Wild West exhibit at a carnival. In the background, "Tumbling Tumbleweeds" is playing. While the song was written by Bob Nolan in 1932, it wasn't released until 1934.

Corrected entry: At the end when the train goes over the bridge we can tell the carriages and the wagons are going over the edge. When the one with the bad guy goes over, the shot changes to looking up and the carriages and wagons are going off the end again.
Correction: This isn't a mistake, just a filming choice. Since they can't show both shots at once (without a split screen), they showed Cole going over first to build suspense, but then showed the whole train going over to show the audience what had happened.

The Lone Ranger (2013)
Corrected entry: When the railroad official is claiming the treaties invalid, the flag behind him has all 50 stars, even though some states hadn't been become part of the United States yet.
Correction: You can tell it doesn't have 50 stars as there are only 5 rows of stars, instead of 9 offset rows. There are only 37 stars (the flag used from 1867-1877).

Correction: This is not entirely correct. Pioneer Trio (which included Bob Nolan) was hired in 1933 as staff singers for radio station kfwb where they sung the song "Tumbling Tumbleweeds" (initially "Tumbling Leaves") during some of their radio appearances. It then became their theme song when they were given their own radio show. It wasn't until May 1934 that Sunset Music purchased the copyrights to the song that the song was published, but it was on the radio before that.
