Continuity mistake: Sam Boone walks Ben Brigade to the horses holding his rifle, and they have a bit of a chat by and about the captive Billy. During this scene, the handkerchief at Randolph Scott's neck waves like mad in the wind over his shoulder under one camera angle, and it is still and in front of the chest in the other. (00:09:30)
Ride Lonesome (1959)
Directed by: Budd Boetticher
Starring: Randolph Scott, Pernell Roberts, Karen Steele
Continuity mistake: Mrs. Carrie Lane puts some respect in the rough cowboys with her rifle. As Boone moves towards her and asks for Ben Brigade for some moral support, the horse Billy John is on moves away from the other horse quite a bit. The horse is back in line at the cut. The natural light also changed. (00:11:05)
Continuity mistake: Once the coach crashed into the fence, the right arm of the dead driver changes position between shots. (00:12:30)
Mrs. Carrie Lane: They told me why you're taking the boy to Santa Cruz.
Ben Brigade: Did they?
Mrs. Carrie Lane: They'll hang him, won't they?
Ben Brigade: Yes, ma'am.
Mrs. Carrie Lane: He's so young.
Ben Brigade: He killed a man.
Mrs. Carrie Lane: It doesn't bother you, bringing him in, I mean.
Ben Brigade: No, ma'am.
Mrs. Carrie Lane: You just don't seem the kind that would hunt a man for money.
Ben Brigade: I am.
Sam Boone: There are some things a man just can't ride around.
Billy John: I don't know how much they're payin' you to bring me in, it ain't enough. Not nearly enough.
Ben Brigade: I'd hunt you free. Let's go.
