The Hateful Eight

Continuity mistake: When they pick up Warren on the stagecoach, the second shot from inside has the wrong direction of landscape outside, so it seems that Warren changed from the front to the back row.

Continuity mistake: When Oswaldo, Joe, Bob and Jody are walking into the cabin, Six-Horse Judy introduces them to the owner, Minnie. In this shot, Minnie's hands are placed together with each other. The shot then changes and her right hand is suddenly placed on her hip. (02:03:10)

Continuity mistake: After Warren (Samuel L. Jackson) asks everybody to stand against the wall, he orders them to throw away the snowshoes hanging there. They throw them right to the front of the fireplace. In the next shot Warren takes some steps ahead and the snowshoes are in the background: they changed their position. (01:46:00 - 01:47:00)

Continuity mistake: When the new sheriff is trying to get picked up by the stage coach, the bounty hunter throws the sheriff an open pair of hand cuffs. When he throws them back into the coach, they are closed.

William Meeks Sr.

Continuity mistake: It goes from a team of six to a team of four horses when showing the morning that Jodi and the gang arrive. Dispute her being "6 horse Judy".

Suggested correction: Watching now, and anytime you can count the horses, it remains at six horses throughout. Maybe some of the close-up shots were not able to fit all six horses into the frame, but there are definitely no shots showing that the wagon has four horses only.

Continuity mistake: In the scene after they pick up Mannix in the stagecoach, Warren has his gun pointed at him because they don't trust him. Warren is somewhat relaxed with his arms crossed while keeping the gun pointed toward Mannix, but in the next shot he is right up in his face with the gun, and in the next shot he's relaxed again.

Revealing mistake: When Warren begins shooting Bob, a massive blood spurt is shown each time he shoots him. Each time he is shot, the blood spurts don't line up with the area where Warren shoots at. The first time Warren shoots Bob, the gun is showing firing at his stomach, but the blood is shown spurting from his chest and the second time he shoots Bob, the gun is fired at the top of his chest, but the blood spurts come from a couple of inches below where he was shot.

More quotes from The Hateful Eight

Trivia: The guitar that Domergue plays and that was subsequently destroyed by Ruth was a priceless antique from the 1870's on loan from the Martin Guitar Museum. Six replicas were made for the film, however Kurt Russell was misinformed and destroyed the original. Due to this the Martin Guitar Museum said they would never lend an instrument to film shoots ever again. (01:38:00 - 01:42:30)

Question: Was the poison that killed both John Ruth and O.B. (by causing them to vomit blood) purely fictional? Does it have any equivalents in the real life? If it does, then what kind of poison was that?

Answer: It's not PURELY fictional, as plenty of poisons lead to vomiting and bleeding (cyanide, arsenic, etc.), but Tarantino, as is his wont, definitely takes some artistic license and kicks it up several notches for dramatic/gross-out effect.
