1 deliberate mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Clint Eastwood
Starring: Clint Eastwood, Mitch Ryan, Marianna Hill, Mitchell Ryan, Verna Bloom
Continuity mistake: As Stranger [Eastwood] is bathing, Cali Traverse enters, in a rage, and pulls a gun. As she screams and fires at him, her open cleavage appears to change between partial to almost none, during the action shots.
The Stranger: You're going to look pretty silly with that knife sticking out of your ass.
Trivia: At the end of the film when the Stranger (Clint Eastwood) is riding out of Lago, he passes a midget who is painting a name on a tombstone. In the next shot you see two more tombstones to the left. The names on these are "Sergio Leone" and "Don Siegel."
