Directed by: Clint Eastwood
Starring: Clint Eastwood, Chris Penn, Michael Moriarty, Carrie Snodgress, Sydney Penny
Revealing mistake: After the cowboys have terrorized the village at the beginning, the girl finds her dead dog and starts crying, when she picks it up it's painfully obvious it's a stuffed toy.
Revealing mistake: In the scene just before the huge nugget Spider is holding gets shot in two, if you look closely you can see the line down the centre where the two halves break.
Continuity mistake: At the beginning, Hull watches as Eastwood beats up the guys in town. When Hull gets up on the wagon, his hands are fine, but in the next scene he has a bandage, I believe, on his left hand. Then the bandage is gone again and reappears soon after.
Question: What does "Spider" pull out of the stream bed? I really don't think it's gold. Gold isn't porous, and I don't think he'd be able to hold it with one hand.
Answer: Lava.

Answer: It's a gold nugget. It is not real gold, of course, but is a movie prop. That is why it looks like some other type of substance.
