The New Lion of Sonora - S4-E14

Continuity mistake: When Buck tries to comfort a bereft Manolito, Mano is sobbing and leaning his forehead against a tree trunk. But when the shot reverses angles, he's abruptly standing upright a foot away from the tree. (00:14:10)

Ten Little Indians - S2-E2

Continuity mistake: Two of the ten orphaned Apache children are found hiding near the house, bringing the total so far to six. But later, after Chodi sends out a signal, two more children come in from the desert, and these are again counted as five and six. But the fifth and sixth of the children were already there - so the new total should have been eight, not six.

The Stallion - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: Blue leaves his regular horse exhausted at the ranch and takes another one in order to pursue the young Apache. But in mid-chase, Blue is suddenly back on his regular horse again.

Alliance - S3-E12

Continuity mistake: One of the Apaches throws his lance at Manolito's feet, and it lands beside him at a 30 degree angle. In the next shot, though, as Mano walks away, the lance is sticking straight up out of the ground.

Lady Fair - S3-E9

Continuity mistake: Just after Buck jumps in to break Charly's fall, his right hand is high on her shoulder in full shots. But in close-ups, his hand and arm are around her waist instead.

North to Tucson - S2-E8

Continuity mistake: Victoria is wearing a torn white blouse after the stage coach overturns, then, after she and Jim are walking through the desert, and they find water, she is wearing a pristine pink blouse. Then, a later shot shows the white blouse again, and while she and Jim are camping for the night, she is shown changing into the pink blouse.

The Buffalo Soldiers - S2-E10

Trivia: The all-black 10th Cavalry mounted troop is portrayed here by a re-creationist group that has trained itself in specialized 19th Century cavalry riding maneuvers. The group includes some descendants of the original "Buffalo Soldiers," whose nickname was coined by Native Americans that had never seen black men, and thought the soldiers' hair resembled that of the buffalo.
