The top mistakes in True Grit http://www.moviemistakes.com/film1328 en Sat, 04 Oct 2008 05:55:08 +0000 8155 In the scene where Rooster is going down inside the well to bring up the girl, he draws and shoots a rattle snake. When he gets to her he is not wearing a gunbelt, and when he gets back to the top, he is wearing it again. 19122 In the scene where John Wayne is getting the girl out of the snake pit, there is a valley behind him and another mountain across the valley. In one shot, on that mountain in the background you can see a car pulling a house-trailer along a road. 13931 At the dinner scene when Mattie Ross is trying to obtain Rooster Cogburn's services, Rooster clears the table, and in the next scene he re-clears the table by pushing everything aside to play cards with Chin Lee. 14004 Throughout most of the film, Mattie Ross' gun is correctly shown to be a Colt's Dragoon .44 caliber revolver. However, in the scene where Tom Chaney is looking down at her from the top of the well into which she had fallen, the gun in his hand is a Colt's Model 1860 Army. Presumably, when he, too falls into the well after being shot by Marshall Cogburn, the gun goes with him. When Cogburn retrieves the weapon before helping Mattie out of the pit, the gun is once more a Colt's Dragoon. 99426 After Kim Darby declines the coffee, John Wayne puts his empty plate in the middle of the table. Immediately in the next shot, the plate is back in front of him with some scraps of food still on it.
