Other mistake: When Kirk Douglas 'appears' to pull a knife from his collar and throw it into Lee Van Cleef's chest, you can see Kirk pick the knife up from a trough in the front edge of the bar. The knife is already in his hand when he reaches to pull the knife from his collar.

Gunfight at the OK Corral (1957)
Directed by: John Sturges
Starring: Kirk Douglas, Burt Lancaster, Rhonda Fleming, Jo Van Fleet
Genres: Western
Visible crew/equipment: Toward the end of the movie, during the gunfight, Burt Lancaster hides behind an adobe wall. There is a bullet ricochet, and the wire & tape from the squib charge hangs out from the wall and bobs for several seconds.
Continuity mistake: Doc Holliday with the DOUBLE barrel shotgun shoots three times without reloading.
Dr. John 'Doc' Holliday: I'm a gambler. Money's just a tool of my trade.
Wyatt Earp: Of course, you will guarantee you won't lose.
Dr. John 'Doc' Holliday: I never lose. You see, poker's played by desperate men who cherish money. I don't lose because I have nothing to lose, including my life.
Wyatt Earp: Hold up your right hand. Do you solemnly swear to uphold... oh, this is ridiculous. You're deputized. Grab some gear, I'll get the horses.
Dr. John 'Doc' Holliday: Wait a minute, don't I get to wear a tin star?
Wyatt Earp: Not on your life.
Wyatt Earp: We'd like you to come to the wedding, Doc, - if it doesn't interfere with your poker.
Dr. John 'Doc' Holliday: I'm not good at weddings - only funerals. Deal me out.
