Visible crew/equipment: When Joe (Clint Eastwood) meets Ramón for the first time in the courtyard, they exchange a few words and then walk a short distance to a table to continue their conversation. As they walk the shadow of the boom microphone is cast on one of the pillars (the pillar with the man leaning against it and holding a rifle). (00:28:32)

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 backdoor and windows, but fires spread quickly, and the flames may have blocked the rear exit, as well as thick smoke making it almost impossible to breathe and see where one is going. Of course, the point of the plot is that they all get shot.
