The Hateful Eight

Continuity mistake: After Warren (Samuel L. Jackson) asks everybody to stand against the wall, he orders them to throw away the snowshoes hanging there. They throw them right to the front of the fireplace. In the next shot Warren takes some steps ahead and the snowshoes are in the background: they changed their position. (01:46:00 - 01:47:00)

Continuity mistake: When Oswaldo, Joe, Bob and Jody are walking into the cabin, Six-Horse Judy introduces them to the owner, Minnie. In this shot, Minnie's hands are placed together with each other. The shot then changes and her right hand is suddenly placed on her hip. (02:03:10)

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: When they pick up Warren on the stagecoach, the second shot from inside has the wrong direction of landscape outside, so it seems that Warren changed from the front to the back row.

Continuity mistake: When the new sheriff is trying to get picked up by the stage coach, the bounty hunter throws the sheriff an open pair of hand cuffs. When he throws them back into the coach, they are closed.

William Meeks Sr.

Continuity mistake: It goes from a team of six to a team of four horses when showing the morning that Jodi and the gang arrive. Dispute her being "6 horse Judy".

Suggested correction: Watching now, and anytime you can count the horses, it remains at six horses throughout. Maybe some of the close-up shots were not able to fit all six horses into the frame, but there are definitely no shots showing that the wagon has four horses only.

Continuity mistake: In the scene after they pick up Mannix in the stagecoach, Warren has his gun pointed at him because they don't trust him. Warren is somewhat relaxed with his arms crossed while keeping the gun pointed toward Mannix, but in the next shot he is right up in his face with the gun, and in the next shot he's relaxed again.

Major Marquis Warren: When the handbill says "dead or alive", the rest of us just shoot you in the back from up on top a perch somewhere and bring you in dead over a saddle. When John Ruth the Hangman catches you...you hang.

Question: The road leading up to Minnie's has been freshly plowed when the stage arrives. It is obvious because there are sharp borders at the edge of the road and no tracks. Did the bushwhackers plow the road to eliminate evidence of their nefarious deeds?

Answer: Good catch! This should be a revealing mistake entry. The plowing was part of the set preparation. I saw several scenes in the film where the roads had obviously been plowed. It's not hard to see if you look for the small ridges left by the plow on either side of the road.

Answer: Yep, gotta be a mistake. If they even had snow plows back then, the plow would have had to been between the bad guys and the stage and would have arrived, or passed by, at a very inopportune time. I think the director just missed this, or didn't think anyone would notice.

Answer: Think you mean the plow would have arrived before the stage. But yes, a mistake for sure.
