Character mistake: When Curtin shoots Dobbs, the two shots are close together in time. When Curtin explains it he says that he was shot and falls. Then Dobbs shoots him again. This takes time but the shots were fired very quickly.
The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948)
1 character mistake
Directed by: John Huston
Starring: Humphrey Bogart, Walter Huston, Bruce Bennett, Tim Holt
Continuity mistake: Near the end, banditos murder Fred C. Dobbs and leave his stripped body by the waterhole as they go chasing after the burros, which they later try to sell in town. Within hours, Howard and Bob Curtin ride right past the same waterhole on their way to town, but Fred Dobbs' body is nowhere to be seen.
Dobbs: This is the country where the nuggets of gold are just crying out for you to take them out of the ground and make 'em shine in coins on the fingers and necks of swell dames.
Trivia: Director John Huston has a cameo as the white-suited man who gets increasingly irritated when Humphrey Bogart repeatedly begs him for money.
