Stupidity: Chad escaped from Jed four times but was always recaptured. When Chad fled on a horse, Jed caught up and, after a struggle, Jed fell and his eye landed on a pointed rock. Instead of running, Chad watched on his knees and when he stood up, Jed grabbed his neck. Another time, Chad had a good head start and was hiding over an embankment yet Jed found him. Later, Chad kicked Jed off a hill but didn't run. The "overgrown" twelve-year-old did not follow through on his escape attempts. (00:40:25 - 00:41:23)

Continuity mistake: Britt is using his right hand to (try to) set his pistol atop a rock (per Jed's request), but the rock is pointed and at an angle. When the camera shifts to a side view, Britt is using his left hand to place the pistol on the rocks and the pointed/angled rock is not there. (01:19:49)

Other mistake: Jed has eight rounds on him/in his pistol. He tells Chad to go to his saddlebag to get another round of ammo and keep it in his pocket. Jed tells Chad "Let's play catch the bullet" since Chad (not his marshal dad Britt) is the only MacMasters there. Jed fires six rounds before Britt shows up on top of the hill, then two more (eight rounds). Jed shoots a ninth and tenth round before he tells Chad, "Get that ammo." Chad is never shown giving Jed the ammo from his pocket, but Jed keeps shooting. (01:13:42 - 01:17:46)

Continuity mistake: When Albert spots the "six riders coming over the ridge", they look closer than when Grandpa stands up to look. The background also looks different (and is mostly blurred to be less obvious). (00:07:18)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: There is no barn to the left of MacMasters' house (otherwise, it would be visible from the front porch), but when Albert runs from the side of the porch into the open, there is a barn. When Britt got home, there was a barn but it was not where it would have been when Albert was running from Jed's gang. (00:09:10 - 00:10:18)

Stupidity: After Chaska shot Jed Blake's lookout Blade in the thigh, Blade said, "I'm bleeding out. Give me something to stop the bleeding." Blade was wearing a long scarf that reached to his waist and had leather suspenders clipped to a leather belt - any of which he could have quickly removed to stop the bleeding. (00:36:00)

KeyZOid

Stupidity: Chad's friend Albert sneaks along the side of the house when Jed Blake and his gang are on the porch. Instead of staying hidden, Albert runs out in the open and is shot dead. Earlier, Chad and Albert also stayed on the porch along the railing when Grandpa started shooting and the gang returned fire. (00:09:10 - 00:10:20)

KeyZOid

Revealing mistake: The Giles brother who got "hung" when he fell after getting shot by MacMasters can be seen moving his body (mostly arms). (00:04:06)
