Trivia

While shooting an early episode, Henry Darrow fell from his horse and suffered a painful bruise when he landed very hard on the gun at his hip. After much pleading, he convinced the producers and the prop dept. to make a replica pistol out of rubber. Replaced by the real one only when it actually had to be fired, the fake gun remained in Manolito's holster for the rest of the show's run. See more...

Continuity: 4-3 "Only the Bad Come to Sonora": The number of outlaws in the gang mysteriously increases during one chase scene. For most of the episode, there are only three of them. When they gallop off after Manolito, there are suddenly five. Next scene, there are three again.

Continuity: 3-2, "A Time to Laugh, A Time to Cry": Manolito rushes into Don Sebastian's study, passing two large, open doors. When the shot cuts, he passes the same doors again.

Audio problem: 4-2 "Spokes": When Buck orders the would-be killers out of the hotel room, his lips don't move in sync with the words he speaks.

Revealing: 4-5 "A Matter of Survival": The doll standing in for Baby Joey is visible in one shot of Victoria carrying the child on horseback. The blanket slips, leaving the doll's stiff neck, plastic head and shock of sticking-straight-up nylon hair all in plain view.

Continuity: 3-19 "Mi Casa, Su Casa": While he's "dining" with Miguel and the banditos, Don Sebastian's position on the ground changes repeatedly as the camera angles shift. In most shots, he's reclining and leaning on one elbow. But in several others, he's sitting upright.

Plot hole: 4-3 "Only the Bad Come to Sonora": Manolito trades clothes with the poor peon he meets on the road. But at the end of the episode, he has the same clothes that he gave away earlier (his usual outfit) back on again.

Continuity: 3-12 "Alliance": When Manolito trips and drops all of Victoria's packages in the street, a box that lands beside his head in close-up disappears in the next, wider angle shot.

Visible crew/equipment: 3-11 "The Legacy": While Burnett sits in the hotel room chair talking to Trice, an equipment shadow moves across the top of his head.

Factual error: 4-15 "The New Lion of Sonora" Pt. 2: In the 1870s, poker chips were made of wood and either branded or painted with denominational values. But the brightly colored chips on General Casados' table in this episode are very obviously made of plastic.

Continuity: 3-6 "To Stand for Something More": After pulling the calf out of the mud, Pedro rides off on Blue's cream-colored horse, Soapy. They go off in opposite directions (Blue on Pedro's horse), yet minutes later, Blue arrives at the ranch - riding Soapy.

Audio problem: 4-16 "The New Lion of Sonora, Pt. 1": During Don Sebastian's funeral, the single church bell is tolling. But the ringing sound effect continues after the bell itself has stopped moving.

Revealing: 3-25 "Generation": Due to budget cuts in the 3rd season, an L.A. soundstage replica of the ranch house replaced the outdoor set, which was in Old Tuscon. The replacement was often painfully obvious. In this episode, a stock exterior shot of the real house, with its outside walls undecorated, contrasts with the mock-up, which has mounted cattle horns all over it.

Continuity: 3-12 "Alliance": The petticoat Mano pulls out of Johnny Ringo's hands disappears in the very next shot when they greet each other on the street.

Plot hole: 4-16 "Sangre": The scriptwriter here apparently never saw earlier episodes in which it was well-established that Manolito spoke fluent Apache. In a scene where he attempts to sneak past two braves while disguised as an Apache, he suddenly can't speak the language when they challenge him.

Visible crew/equipment: 4-16 "Sangre": When Sangre attacks the soldier and the man's rifle falls during the fight, the shot cuts to a close-up of the gun - and we can see several white blocking marks chalked on the floor beside it.

Continuity: 3-16 "Friends and Partners": The plate Buck and Mano wash is a 20th Century pie tin made of non-reflective aluminum, something unlikely to be found in 1870s Arizona. After they dry it off, it changes into polished steel that's shiny enough to reflect their faces. It also changes shape.

Plot hole: 3-7 "Trail to Nevermore": At the end, despite an earlier emphasis on the necessity of wearing one's hat in the desert, John rides out of town without his. Victoria, who wore John's hat when they crossed the desert, isn't wearing it either. And of course, the "lost" hat reappears on John's head in the next episode.

Continuity: 3-6, "To Stand For Something More": Much fuss is made throughout this episode about Blue being left in charge of the High Chaparral "for the first time." But it isn't the first time. He was left in charge once before, in the previous season, and no one made a big deal of it in that episode at all.

Continuity: 3-7 "Trail to Nevermore": Victoria starts the ill-fated journey wearing culotte-style pants. When they get stranded without food, clothes or other provisions, the pants somehow turn into a skirt.

Plot hole: 3-26 "No Trouble at All": Victoria asks her rescuers to take her to Rancho Velásquez. When they ask where it is, she says, "About 30 miles from here." Though she never indicates a direction, they reply, "Sorry, we're not going that way."
