Directed by: Sergio Leone
Starring: Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef, Gian Maria Volonte, Mario Brega
Factual error: The El Paso newspaper is dated Monday June 15 1872. June 15 1872 was a Saturday. (00:48:14)
Factual error: There's a plane in the sky above Clint's hat in the shooting hats scene.
Factual error: Two errors. The money in the safe is Confederate. It was worthless in 1872. Tucumcari didn't exist in 1872. The place which later became Tucumcari only came into existence in 1901 and wasn't named as such until 1908.
Continuity mistake: Near the beginning when Lee Van Cleef looks at the the wanted poster on the ticket booth at Tucumcari (just after getting off the train), there are two extra zero's drawn onto the poster (as added by the villain). Van Cleef then takes this poster away with him, and slots it under the door of a hotel room on a later scene - notice that the additional zero's have since disappeared from the same poster. (00:06:30 - 00:09:20)
Wild, The Hunchback: Well well, if it isn't the smoker. Well... Remember me, amigo?
Col. Douglas Mortimer: M-Mm.
Wild, The Hunchback: 'Course you do. El Paso.
Col. Douglas Mortimer: It's a small world.
Wild, The Hunchback: Yes, and very, very bad. Now come on, you light another match.
Col. Douglas Mortimer: I generally smoke just after I eat. Why don't you come back in about ten minutes?
Wild, The Hunchback: Ten minutes you'll be smoking in hell. Get up!.
Trivia: The 'whistling' heard in the background before the opening credits is that of the director Sergio Leone.
