Ride Lonesome picture

Continuity mistake: Mrs. Carrie Lane puts some respect in the rough cowboys with her rifle.

The Giant Gila Monster picture

Other mistake: After the intro, one girl in the bar peeks from the window and goes; "Say, here comes Gordy and Jennie." And indeed the duo is getting off the car and joins them. The problem is, the window is on the opposite side of the entrance and there's diegetic music playing throughout the scene. In other words, she saw them parking to the left, but in a split second they are coming through a door on the right. (00:02:40)
