Continuity mistake: When Francis Fryer throws the cowboy he loses the scarf in his hand but when the camera angle changes he has it again.
Calamity Jane (1953)
Directed by: David Butler
Starring: Doris Day, Howard Keel, Allyn Ann McLerie, Philip Carey
Visible crew/equipment: When Calamity and Katie are driving back on the stage they are attacked by Indians before they arrive in town. Calamity starts shooting at them from behind the large suitcase with Adellaid Adams wrote on it. Initially there is no mark on the suitcase but halfway through the scene a black mark appears below the D of Adellaid and if you look very closely you can see the piece of string along which the arrow is shot.
Continuity mistake: During "I Could Do Without You", after Bill pushes Calamity off the bar, the tie around his neck has flipped halfway over his shoulder. In the next cut, when she jumps up to sing "Boo!" in his ear, both halves of the tie are against his chest.
Calamity Jane: Excitement? Why, I got more arrows in the back of that coach than a porcupine has got stickers.
Calamity Jane: Make mine sarsparilly.
Calamity Jane: Whip, crack, away.
