Visible crew/equipment: When Herod is talking to Cort he says, "It takes a lot to scare me, I love the sensation," then it cuts to a shot facing Cort, and just as Herod turns around the moving boom mic casts a shadow on the ground, at the lower right side of the screen (next shot Herod shoots Ratsy).

Mistakes

Continuity mistake: When Sharon Stone confronts Gene Hackman at the end, she throws the marshal star at his feet. It is an inch or two in front of his boots. After he is shot, he gets flung backwards several feet. Stone then picks the star up and throws it to Russell Crowe. She picks it up from behind Hackman's body, several feet away from where it landed but still sticking out of the sand the same way.

Suggested correction: According to legend, the car was stripped down to its chassis then rebuilt as a stagecoach for the movie.

It was apparently "stripped down and covered with a wagon." https://movieweb.com/why-sam-raimi-puts-his-car-in-his-movies/.

Questions

Question: Why did Ace lie about killing the Terence brothers?

Answer: He's a fraud and he's trying to impress people and create a reputation. Most of what he brags about is likely either made up or was actually done by someone else.
