Factual error: When the posse arrives at the mission, a horizontal jet stream can be seen during this scene. (01:00:00)

Visible crew/equipment: Not sure if was a crew member but just before they are planning to shoot 5 people Joe runs across the land and there is a guy lying on the ground. It looks like he's lifting his head or something.

Revealing mistake: When Clint Eastwood is shooting his 1896 Mauser Machine pistol, with the long barrel, even though he fires numerous shots the hammer remains fully cocked and does not move.

Other mistake: In the scene where Kidd is in the watchtower getting ready to smash the guy in the head with the water jug. When he lowers it, it looks to be about 3/4 full, but when it smashes the guy in the head, about a cup of water comes out.

Factual error: In the end scene, a major shoot out occurs. A man is hit, and as he painfully dies (and rather slowly), he fires his revolver a few to several times with just the agonizing twitching of his trigger finger. He never cocks the gun, and in those days, they did not have double action revolvers.

Suggested correction: Yes, they did have double-action revolvers. Those date back to the Civil War.

Helen Sanchez: He is right, we must give ourselves up, don't you see? There is no other way.
Luis Chama: I do not care what you think. I take you along for cold nights and days when there is nothing to do. Not to hear you talk.
