Holes

Deliberate mistake: When Kate Barlow shoots the Sheriff, she shoots him between the eyes, but when she kisses him there is no hole or anything on his face.

Deliberate mistake: In at least two different scenes, there are time-lapse shots of the stars moving across the sky above a horizon. Given that the location is Texas, they rotate in the wrong direction. If the horizon is southern, the stars should rotate left to right, not right to left. If the horizon is northern, they would rotate counterclockwise around a fixed point *above* the horizon, i.e. the North Pole (celestial), where the North Star would be.

Continuity mistake: When Mr. Sir gets angry at the boy who said, "What happened to your face?" he asks the campers if he looks good and you see D-Tent sitting in the upper left hand corner, everyone is sitting down. In the close up of D-Tent, X-Ray and Armpit are standing then. In the next shot with Mr. Sir, you see Armpit and X-Ray going to sit down. Then back to Mr. Sir, you see X-Ray standing. (01:01:05)
