Django Unchained

Revealing mistake: When Django kills big John Brittle, right when he smashes his face on the floor, a cushion pops-up. Most probably hidden among the leaves to soften the fall.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: When the maids introduce Brunhilda to Schultz, she is either looking at him or sideways, depending on the angle.

Sacha

Revealing mistake: Before confronting Stephen, Django shoots Candie's sister. He is up high on the stairs with her on the first floor. He is far to her right. But when he shoots her, she flies straight backwards into the other room, and you can see where her dress was pulled by a rip line.

Quantom X

Factual error: In several closeups (especially of Leonardo DiCaprio) it is clear that some of the characters are wearing plastic contact lenses in their eyes. These were not invented until the late 1970s.

Visible crew/equipment: When Sheriff Bill Sharp steps out into the street you can see a hearing aid in his left ear.

Continuity mistake: When Schulz and Django ride up to the first plantation they visit, the number of slaves milling about in the background varies with each shot.

Continuity mistake: When Stephen brings Broomhilde to Candie to discuss her price, Stephen is grabbing the left side of her neck in the wide shots, and the right side in the close-ups. This changes back and forth.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: When one of the Speck Bros. lays injured on the floor, the lamp on the floor is laying right net to the hat, or several centimeters away, depending on the angle.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: When Schultz and Django first camp, Schultz is seen putting on pants and suspenders. In the next shot he doesn't have the suspenders on, but we see him hiking them up as if for the first time.

Factual error: There are no Live Oaks growing in Tennessee. They can be seen in several outdoors scenes.

Other mistake: When Calvin sits down to eat his white cake, the cake is a new slice. When the camera switches and comes back, it is almost gone. When the scene switches again, he is eating a full piece of cake again.

Video

Continuity mistake: When Dr. Schultz shoots Candie, in the 'reaction' shot where it zooms in on Stephen screaming, Candie's bodyguard (the one with the mustache and bowler hat) has already turned around to see what just happened. In the very next shot he now has his back to the camera and then, a second later, we see him slowly turn around again to see what just happened.

Continuity mistake: In the final scene where Django asks Cora to say goodbye to Miss Lara, he holds his arm with the gun outstretched, but in the next frontal shot he keeps it lowered.

Django: Django. The D is silent.

Trivia: When we see the "regulators" riding over the hill on the way to kill Django and Schultz, if you look carefully at the right-center portion of screen, you can see one of the stuntmen fall off his horse and the horse continues to run down the hill without him. To make matters even worse, it appears the stuntman rolls right in front of another horse and gets trampled. (00:41:00)

Question: At the end when Steven is the only one left alive alone with Django, he drops his cane and seems to walk fine. Would that indicate that he was faking the whole time, just pretending he needed it?

Answer: Not necessarily; Stephen's condition may be ameliorated by using a cane to walk, but he doesn't always need the cane. I myself have an ankle condition which is sometimes helped by the use of a cane, but I don't always need the cane.
