The Night of the Circus of Death - S3-E9
Factual error: At the mint, Arte hides in a broom closet. He carries nothing in (nor did he hide anything in there beforehand), yet he emerges later in an "old man" disguise, wearing a wig, hat, mustache, false nose, glasses and janitor costume. Magic closet? (00:35:00)

The Night of the Skulls - S2-E13
Factual error: Fenlow begins shouting about "one nation, under God, indivisible." This series is set in the 1870s. The Pledge of Allegiance, from which these lines are taken, wasn't written until 1892. And the words "under God" weren't added until 1954. (00:46:55)

The Night of the Skulls - S2-E13
Factual error: The bizarre centerpiece on the murderers' banquet table has colored electric light bulbs showing in the skulls' eye sockets. (00:26:50)
9th Apr 2008
The Night of the Watery Death - S2-E9
Factual error: The coin Artemus hands West is a Morgan silver dollar. It's no coincidence that the actor's thumb covers the date on the coin in the inserted close-up. The series is set during Grant's presidential term in the early 1870s, and Morgan dollars weren't minted until 1878, after Grant had left office. (00:09:40)

The Night of the Poisonous Posey - S2-E7
Factual error: Brutus fires his rifle at West more than a dozen times without once reloading. And he's not carrying anything in which he could store ammunition anyway. (00:43:20)

The Night of the Underground Terror - S3-E19
Factual error: The small round table in West's railcar parlor has a flip-over top, with secret maps hidden on the underside. The wine decanter and glasses all stay attached when it flips. But impossibly, when West turns the tabletop back over at the end, there's a full cup of coffee sitting on it. (00:48:30)
7th Oct 2006
Factual error: "Night of the Lord of Limbo": At the end, Vautrain tells West and Gordon to go through the door on their right. The door is on the camera's right, but is on West's and Gordon's left. (00:45:10)
2nd Oct 2006
The Night of the Inferno - S1-E1
Factual error: Liddy's six-shooter fires seven shots - three at West and four more at the bottles on the table after he escapes. (00:17:50)
17th Sep 2006
The Night of the Arrow - S3-E16
Factual error: The soldiers toss Artemus into the cell, slam the door and walk away. But they never produce a key or lock the cell door. He's somehow locked in anyway, though. (00:24:30)
