Other mistake: In the final gunfight when Joe shoots the gun from Ramon's hands and kills the rest of his gang, he fires six shots. He then shoots the rope that Silvanito has been tied up to without reloading. His gun is a revolver, which only holds six bullets, yet Joe fires seven times.

Directed by: Sergio Leone
Starring: Clint Eastwood, Gian Maria Volonte, Marianne Koch, Wolfgang Lukschy
Continuity mistake: After the Baxter/Rojo dinner, the background changes from nightime to daytime at the cemetery, then back to nightime again when Clint kidnaps Mirasol.
Trivia: The boots Clint Eastwood wears in this film are the same ones he wore in "Rawhide".
Question: When the Baxter House is lit on fire, everybody comes out the front door and is promptly shot. Was there no rear exit or window?
Answer: A house that size likely had a back door and windows. Being made of wood, the fire could spread quickly, and the flames may have blocked the rear exit, as well as thick smoke making it difficult to breathe and see where one is going. The front door was probably the closest exit. Of course, the point of the plot is that they all get shot when they run out.
