True Grit

Audio problem: During the second camp fire scene at night (after the trio have looked in the cave/railway) Mattie finishes talking but in a wide angle shot the character can still be seen moving her mouth but now without any sound.

Continuity mistake: In the first shot of the dead man hanging form the tree, his head appears to be about 12" from the tree limb. After Mattie climbs up to cut him down, his head is several feet from the tree limb.
