Other mistake: A shootout occurs in a hotel, where a shotgun blast apparently opens the money box. None of the perpetrators fired into the room.
Big Jake (1971)
1 other mistake - chronological order
Directed by: John Wayne, George Sherman
Starring: John Wayne, Richard Boone, Maureen O'Hara, Patrick Wayne, Bruce Cabot
Factual error: The scene where Jon Wayne's Son is shooting the deer at 600 yards, he swings his rifle about 20-25 inches in about 2 seconds - by my calculations the deer must have been travelling around 250 mph.
Martha McCandles: I was wrong. You haven't changed, have you, Jacob McCandles?
Jacob 'Big Jake' McCandles: Not one bit.
Question: At the beginning of the movie I counted 9 bad guys. We only see 1 die, then there are 6 - what happen to the others?

Answer: According to Wikipedia, the shootout at the ranch, both Devries brothers are killed by Jeff McCandles, before being shot himself. The rest die at the end of the movie.
You only see the older brother shot by Jeffrey before being shot himself. I only assumed young Billy stayed behind to help his brother.
