The top mistakes in Little Big Man http://www.moviemistakes.com/film749 en Sat, 19 Jul 2008 05:55:16 +0000 29688 The worst historical distortions in this film must concern legendary "Wild Bill" Hickock. First of all he wasn't killed by a teenage boy, but one John McCall, a man in his 30's. McCall sneaked behind Hickock who was in the middle of a poker game and shot him through the head killing him instantly. Secondly this took place on August 2 1876, about five weeks AFTER the Custer's Last Stand. 96313 During the Little Bighorn massacre one of Custer's lieutenants turns to address Custer and is struck in the back with an arrow, and the thick pad or board is visible under the actor's shirt. 58229 When Jack and Mrs. Pendrake meet in the whorehouse and talk through a screen of glass beads, Jack is standing very close to the screen, that's why it's out of focus when the camera is on her "looking through his eyes". However, in one shot it's not, and that looks quite strange because Jack hasn't moved away from the screen. 58230 During the battle at Little Big Horn, just before Custer shouts "Fools, shooting their own horses." there is soldier holding his horse, and there is a long rope running horizontally across the screen keeping the horse in place. 58231 When the coach with Jack and Olga is chased by Indians the man on the coach box killed by an arrow in his back disappears and reappears.
