Audio problem: When one of the soldiers serenades outside the O'Rourkes' place he is accompanied by an accordion and a guitar. However, what you hear is an accordion and a banjo. (00:39:10)
Audio problem: When the musicians walk off after their serenade they intonate another song without anyone moving his mouth. (00:41:10)
Factual error: After the first encounter with the Apaches, the covered wagon is headed to the Fort at full speed. The camera pans to the Apaches on the ridge and you can see a truck driving at the bottom right corner. (00:32:00)
Captain Yorke: A charge! Mounted in fours.
RSM Michael O'Rourke: Why the madman.
Captain Yorke: And I'm to stay with the wagon train... and take O'Rourke with me.
RSM Michael O'Rourke: You'll find Lt. O'Rourke with his troop, sir. And thank you.
