Continuity mistake: When the blacksmith looks up and recognises Jed, he is standing in front of the fire ready to put the horseshoe in. After Jed dismounts and the camera cuts back, the blacksmith is standing a few feet to the right of the fire.

Factual error: When the camera pans above the gallows prior to the hanging, modern high tension electrical lines are visible through the trees in the far background.

Jed Cooper: You're lynching those boys. Why?
Judge Adam Fenton: Why? Because of you, Cooper. Because of that beautiful, that magnificent journey you took to bring three killers to justice. Because if the law didn't hang them, the next posse that goes out will say, "Hang 'em and hang 'em high, there's no justice in Fort Grant." And if there's no justice in Fort Grant, Cooper, there will be no statehood for this territory.
