Character mistake: When the posse is heading out in the morning, one guy says that it's heading north and they start riding in the direction he's pointing. However it's supposed to be first thing in the morning, and you can see the shadows of the horses cast to the left of screen while they are riding towards the camera. The sun rises in the east, which would be right of screen with the shadows cast towards the west. Since they are riding towards camera, this puts them heading south.
Cowboys & Aliens (2011)
1 character mistake
Directed by: Jon Favreau
Starring: Harrison Ford, Sam Rockwell, Daniel Craig, Olivia Wilde
Continuity mistake: During the film, Daniel Craig's character rides out to the house where he last saw the woman he was in love with. During the wide shot showing him on his horse riding toward the camera, the device on his wrist is missing. It is obvious if you are paying attention, as he is using the arm which is supposed to have the device to hold the reins of the horse.
Meacham: Whether you end up in Heaven or Hell isn't God's plan, it's your own. You just have to remember what it is.
Trivia: When Ella is abducted by the alien speeders, while the group flees from Jake's old gang; it really is Olivia Wilde being pulled 40ft+ into the air while riding full tilt on horseback, not her stunt double.
Question: Who's the actress who played Loengard's wife (the woman who says the gold he acquired was blood-money)?
