Django Unchained

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

Sacha

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Stephen is shocked that Django will be staying in the big house responding with "if you ain't got no problem burning the bed the sheets", you can see Calvin place his pipe in his left hand and start to point at Stephen with his right hand, saying "that is my problem, they are mine to burn" then his pipe is magically in his right hand again. (01:30:00)

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.

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.

Continuity mistake: After the Mandingo fight when Calvin asks Django what makes him such a Mandingo expert, Calvin's bodyguard - Butch is seen hitting the cue ball on the pool table to the right corner. After Django smartly responds "I'm curious what makes you so curious." and Butch says "what did you say, boy?" the cue ball returns back to its original position on the table.

Continuity mistake: When Django is shown looking at various hats, he tries on a top hat. It is level on the stand when he picks it up, and when he puts it back it is now at a noticeable slant. After some dialogue the shot comes back to include the hats and the top hat has become perfectly level once again.

Andrew Upton

Factual error: In the scene after the Mandingo fight in the Cleopatra club, when Leonardo DiCaprio gives his slave a beer, it is served in a flip top bottle. The first flip-top closure was created by Charles de Quillfeldt in the United States, who filed for a patent on 30 November 1874, receiving patent number 158406.

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.
