Character mistake: When Gordon describes Leonardo Da Vinci's idea for a flying machine, he mentions Da Vinci designed it in 1540. However, designs for Da Vinci's flying machines were dated as early as 1488 and Leonardo Da Vinci died in 1519.
Wild Wild West (1999)
1 character mistake
Directed by: Barry Sonnenfeld
Starring: Will Smith, Salma Hayek, Kenneth Branagh, Kevin Kline, Ted Levine, M. Emmet Walsh
Continuity mistake: During the fight inside the spider, West wraps one of Loveless' men in a chain and kicks him out the door. You clearly see that the chain comes completely off its roll and falls to the ground, presumably with the body. Yet later on in a wide shot of the spider you can see the body and chain still suspended from the spider. Then when it crashes, West uses the hanging body to save himself.

Suggested correction: We do actually not see it fall to the ground, just vanish outside. It could be that the end of the chain got caught onto something just beneath the opening.
Capt. James West: Never drum on a white lady's boobies at a big redneck dance. Got it.
Trivia: The film underwent costly reshoots to emphasize the humor when test audiences weren't sure if the movie was a comedy.
