High Plains Drifter

Revealing mistake: Before Eastwood shoots the tree dummies on the cart, the reflection of the window shows a clear blue sky. When the camera moves in front of the window, a black curtains' been placed to avoid the crew from being reflected. The curtain drifts all the time showing a tiny bit of sky, but for a brief moment you can see someone closing the curtain.

Continuity mistake: As Stranger [Eastwood] is bathing, Cali Traverse enters, in a rage, and pulls a gun. As she screams and fires at him, her open cleavage appears to change between partial to almost none, during the action shots.
