Continuity mistake: The group come across an outpost only to find the person inside having been brutally killed and skinned by Indians. A shot from the door shows Will sitting on his horse hunched over, staring into the cabin in shock. When the camera cuts to a close-up of him, his body is now at a different angle, his arms are in a slightly different position, and the light is hitting his coat and hat from a different angle. (00:25:20)
Stupidity: When learning how to gut and skin the buffalo, Will gets sick but goes to fill up a bucket of water from the river. He gags and partially throws up, spitting into the river... and then immediately scoops up water in the bucket in the very spot he just threw up into. (00:48:20)
Continuity mistake: Fred confronts Charlie for poisoning him with the wolf poison, and he sets the container down on a rock next to some herbs on the stone. When he sets it down, it is at a diagonal angle to the corner of the stone. Then after Fred starts to punch Charlie, the container is shown again, but now it is perfectly perpendicular to the edge of the stone, and the clump of herbs also grows larger. (01:25:14)
