True Grit

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: When Mattie crossed the river on horseback, she was submerged to her chin. When she exits the water on her horse, her clothes, gear, boots and hair braids should have dripping wet. They appeared dry. When the ranger pulled her off her horse onto the ground, her wet clothes would have caused the dry dirt to cake on her like mud.

Mattie Ross: One would be just as unpleasant as the other.
