Starring: Matt Damon, Jeff Bridges, Josh Brolin, Barry Pepper, Hailee Steinfeld
Other mistake: Research in the end credits is misspelled "Reasearch."
Other mistake: When Mattie is going to get water from the creek, she is shown carrying a large, bulky, heavy wooden bucket. Had they been carrying this in their gear, it would have been visible, but this bucket is never seen among their equipment prior to this scene. Not to mention, it would have made much more sense to have used a canvas, collapsible bucket as they used in the original film.
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.
Rooster Cogburn: We'll sleep here and follow in the morning.
Mattie Ross: But we promised to bury the poor soul inside!
Rooster Cogburn: Ground's too hard. Them men wanted a decent burial, they should have got themselves killed in summer.
Trivia: Josh Brolin cut his hair with a knife in order to accentuate Tom Chaney's unkempt look.
Question: After Rooster carries the snake-bitten Mattie back to the cabin and fires shots to alert the people inside, he collapses. What does he say then, was it, "I've grown old?"
Answer: Yes. He groans, "I've grown old."
