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 - chronological order
Directed by: Jon Favreau
Starring: Harrison Ford, Sam Rockwell, Daniel Craig, Olivia Wilde
Continuity mistake: When Jake is being hit in the face, he has blood on the right half of his face by his mouth. Quite a lot running from his nose to his chin actually. The next scene he is on the ground and no blood is by his mouth.
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 the sheriff tears Daniel Craig's wanted poster off the wall in the jail, underneath there's a wanted poster with a photo of a mustached Jon Favreau (the Director).
Question: Colonel Dolarhyde mentions about having participated in the Battle of Antietam and losing men in the Cornfield. Did he fight for the Union or the Confederacy?

Answer: I was unable to find any reference about which side Dollarhyde fought for in the Civil War. It may have been deliberately left ambiguous to make his political alliances more neutral, and instead, focus on his personal character and how it evolves during the film.
