Young Guns mistake picture

Visible crew/equipment: In the shot where Dirty Steve is on his horse, he asks, "Hey Dog, did you see the size of that chicken?", and then he fires his shotgun. You can see someone's hand come up to grab the reigns of the horse. (00:43:25)

Visible crew/equipment: When Buckshot Roberts is going into the outhouse there is a sequence of shots that show Billy the Kid, Dick Brewer and Dirty Steve hiding behind a pile of logs. In almost every shot where these three are seen behind the logs you can see a camera tri-pod leaning against a fence. The sequence lasts over a minute so you have several chances to plainly see it. (00:47:05 - 00:48:15)

Revealing mistake: There is a scene where one of them jumps on a horse, and you can see one of the crew holding on to the reigns as the horse throws its head back.
