High Plains Drifter (1973)
1 deliberate mistake
Directed by: Clint Eastwood
Starring: Clint Eastwood, Mitch Ryan, Marianna Hill, Mitchell Ryan, Verna Bloom
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Eastwood is watching "the city of Lago volunteers" training,he is drinking a beer. The first time he lifts the glass to drink, it is about half empty. After he says something to the man with the knife, he lifts the glass for another drink and it is nearly full.
The Stranger: You're going to look pretty silly with that knife sticking out of your ass.
Trivia: At the end of the film when the Stranger (Clint Eastwood) is riding out of Lago, he passes a midget who is painting a name on a tombstone. In the next shot you see two more tombstones to the left. The names on these are "Sergio Leone" and "Don Siegel."
