Continuity mistake: Norby rips a bit of Veeko's pants from the right leg; when we see a close-up of Pantoliano, the filament popping in frame from above comes from the left side (if it's a shoelace and not part of the torn pants, Veeko's boots were not unlaced). As he falls, we see for a moment Veeko's feet and there's no torn fabric dangling. (01:13:50)

In the following shots, it alternates between Meredith standing nearly straight up and leaning way over so the camera could get a cleavage shot.
Continuity mistake: In the scene where the wagon train is waiting for Wagonmaster Harlow to decide which fork in the road to take, all the shadows are to the left. As they approach Harlow, the shadows are in front and moment later when the wagons move off the shadows are to the right. (00:26:20)

The bad guy with him puts his right hand in his coat as if to pull out a gun, it cuts to see the two men from behind and the bad guy has his right hand down by his side, cut to a front shot and his right hand is back inside his coat.
Continuity mistake: It was six red wings who killed Tommy but only 5 people were killed, and on more than one occasion, the sheriff and the doctor kept saying the Judge was the 6th victim. When the sheriff had the year book opened to the picture of the 6 red wings, he called each one's name but only called 5 names despite 6 people in the picture. I've done many searches for mistakes and goofs on this movie and none mentioned this. The 5 killed: the guy in the barn, the one that just had sex, the 2 brothers and judge.
