The Magnificent Seven

Continuity mistake: When the church bell is rehung and struck, it goes from shoulder height to well above head height, then back to shoulder height in subsequent shots. (01:28:15)

Continuity mistake: While Bogue shots the guy outside the church the sun changes between shots.

Continuity mistake: The number of men killed in the initial gun fight is more than the 22 men Bogue says worked for him.

Continuity mistake: Chisholm says Powder Dan kills the wife of the tenant farmer. Then, after he kills Powder Dan, he tells the town sheriff to send half the reward to the tenant farmer's widow, who he previously said Powder Dan took advantage of and killed.

Continuity mistake: Towards the end of the movie when Bogue's men are first charging into Rose Creek, we see white tents camped on the outskirts of town in the field. The next wide shot from a distance there are no white tents, then the next shot there are. In the final scenes of the movie as the camera pans over the town and into the field, there are no white tents visible.

Factual error: As the 7 are coming into the camp, it shows an American Flag flying all 50 stars. In 1879 there were only 38 stars on the flag.

Suggested correction: It's a 37-star flag, the top and bottom row have 8 stars and the middle 3 rows have 7 stars. While Colorado was admitted into the Union in 1877 as the 38th state, it's not unreasonable to think they just didn't get an updated flag. However, it's also possible whoever was in charge of getting/making the flag got it mixed up since the 38-star flag has 7 stars on the top and bottom row and 8 stars in the middle 3 rows.

37 stars is correct, 8 on top and bottom and seven in the 3 middle rows.

Actually, it has 40 stars: five rows of eight. There was never a 37-star flag.

There absolutely was a 37 star flag: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_the_United_States, used for 10 years from July 4, 1867 to July 3, 1877.

Trivia: The way that Billy Rocks kills the guy using his knife hairpin is very similar to what James Coburn did in the 60's version.
