The top mistakes in The Frisco Kid http://www.moviemistakes.com/film5779 en Sat, 13 Mar 2010 06:55:34 +0000 107058 The movie takes place in 1850-51, and yet when the Rabbi is challenged to a shootout in San Francisco, the weapon he is handed is an 1858 Remington New Model Army revolver. 149129 While pointing his pistol at Matt Diggs, the Rabbi cocks the pistol's hammer. A split second later from another angle, the pistol's hammer is down. 149144 The Rabbi's horse is bucking in reaction to the rattlesnake, and all the while the Rabbi is yelling in Yiddish - but his mouth is not moving. 149290 The locomotive used by the M&O R.R. is a coal-burner, a fuel not employed in locomotive fireboxes until the late 1860s, when bituminous coal mines became prevalent. 116290 When Harrison Ford and Gene Wilder are being chased by the bad guys, they have to dismount and walk on Saturday because Gene is a Rabbi. However, close to sundown, the bad guys are getting close, so they're discussing whether the sun is setting, and there is a shot of the sun going behind a ridge. When the actors are shown again they are in full light, and not in shadow as they would be if the sun was going down, even though Gene is bobbing up and down as if he's making the sun go higher or lower by the position of his head. (This is so that they can remount once the sun has gone down, as the Jewish day of rest will have ended.)
