Revealing mistake: During Cactus Jack's first trap failure while he's under Handsome's wagon, Jack loses his cowboy boots and pants. The camera follows the insane stretching suspenders, and when it cuts to Cactus Jack in his red long johns, the black booties for the stunt are visible at his feet/ankles; then next wide shot, that footgear is gone. Additionally, as Cactus Jack gets pulled toward his pants, it appears that he slides past his pants in the long shot, but is successful in the next close-up. (00:33:00)

The Villain (1979)
Other mistake: Handsome and Charming head out of Snakes End (followed by the newlyweds) and begin their long journey. It then cuts to Cactus Jack before he begins the journey, and at the start of this shot as he places Whiskey's bit, we can see the signpost with three wooden arrow signs and the hillside behind him. This is the same location where Cactus Jack lays trap number seven, named "the tunnel in the hillside," on the next day during the journey; noticeable when Handsome and Charming arrive.

Continuity mistake: Cactus Jack's leather cowboy boots have block heels and spurs with rowels and jingle bobs. In quite a few shots throughout the movie, Jack's boots change to no-heel flat soles, and the spurs are missing, though we still hear the distinctive jangling of Cactus Jack's spurs.
