Plot hole: No one hears the gunshot in the jail. The townspeople would come to see where the shot was fired. (01:39:28 - 01:39:52)
Silverado (1985)
1 plot hole - chronological order
Directed by: Lawrence Kasdan
Starring: Kevin Costner, Danny Glover, Kevin Kline, Scott Glenn
Continuity mistake: When Paden and Emmett are camped out you see Emmett pour himself a cup of coffee and he's holding the cup in his hand. The camera angle changes to a shot from behind him and you see him reaching down to pick up his cup of coffee.
Sheriff Cobb: We'll give you a fair trial - followed by a first-class hangin'.
Question: I am sure that when I watched Silverado many years ago that Cobb's men, after capturing Emmett, used a rock or stone to break the bones in his gun hand to render him harmless. The DVD I have does not have this scene - if it ever existed.
Answer: You may be thinking of The Quick and The Dead. That happens to Russell Crowe before the final gunfight.

Answer: I first saw this film in a theater, and later on DVD and TV, and I don't recall the scene you described. If his hand had been injured that way, the injury would have lasted throughout the entire film and that was not the case. Perhaps you're confusing this with another movie.
