Factual error: "Night of the Lord of Limbo": At the end, Vautrain tells West and Gordon to go through the door on their right. The door is on the camera's right, but is on West's and Gordon's left. (00:45:10)
The Night of the Inferno - S1-E1
Factual error: Liddy's six-shooter fires seven shots - three at West and four more at the bottles on the table after he escapes. (00:17:50)
The Night of the Poisonous Posey - S2-E7
Factual error: Brutus fires his rifle at West more than a dozen times without once reloading. And he's not carrying anything in which he could store ammunition anyway. (00:43:20)
The Night of the Watery Death - S2-E9
Factual error: The coin Artemus hands West is a Morgan silver dollar. It's no coincidence that the actor's thumb covers the date on the coin in the inserted close-up. The series is set during Grant's presidential term in the early 1870s, and Morgan dollars weren't minted until 1878, after Grant had left office. (00:09:40)
The Night of the Skulls - S2-E13
Factual error: The bizarre centerpiece on the murderers' banquet table has colored electric light bulbs showing in the skulls' eye sockets. (00:26:50)
The Night of the Skulls - S2-E13
Factual error: Fenlow begins shouting about "one nation, under God, indivisible." This series is set in the 1870s. The Pledge of Allegiance, from which these lines are taken, wasn't written until 1892. And the words "under God" weren't added until 1954. (00:46:55)
The Night of the Skulls - S2-E13
Factual error: This episode suggests that the presidential order of succession is Vice-President, Secretary of State, then President Pro-Tem of the Senate. It's actually the Vice-President, then Speaker of the House, then President Pro-Tem of the Senate.
The Night of the Lord of Limbo - S2-E15
Factual error: In the upper right side of the screen early in the episode, you can see an airplane flying from the right to left. (00:06:05)
The Night of the Vicious Valentine - S2-E20
Factual error: Artemus opens a cabinet to reveal a map of the United States where he and West are keeping track of the alphabetical murders. The map is far out of date for the Grant administration, with what became the state of West Virginia during the Civil War still part of Virginia, and missing entirely the states of Nevada, Oregon, Kansas, Nebraska, and Minnesota-all of which were part of the union before President Grant took office. (00:04:45 - 00:06:30)
The Night of the Wolf - S2-E27
Factual error: Several airplane contrails are visible in the sky as West gallops his horse to Stefan's coronation.
The Night of the Bubbling Death - S3-E1
Factual error: The skeletons in the dungeon hanging from shackles and standing upright in cages would have been piles of bones on the ground due to cartilage and tendons decaying, which hold bones together.
The Night of the Firebrand - S3-E2
Factual error: A modern warehouse-type structure is seen in the background as West rides into Fort Savage.
The Night of the Firebrand - S3-E2
Factual error: The amount of explosives detonated in the wagon should have blown it to toothpicks, not left intact with just the canopy blown off.
The Night of the Circus of Death - S3-E9
Factual error: At the mint, Arte hides in a broom closet. He carries nothing in (nor did he hide anything in there beforehand), yet he emerges later in an "old man" disguise, wearing a wig, hat, mustache, false nose, glasses and janitor costume. Magic closet? (00:35:00)
The Night of the Turncoat - S3-E13
Factual error: Artemus Gordon is standing in the train car throwing plastic darts. Plastic wasn't invented then, it would have been natural feather.
The Night of the Arrow - S3-E16
Factual error: The soldiers toss Artemus into the cell, slam the door and walk away. But they never produce a key or lock the cell door. He's somehow locked in anyway, though. (00:24:30)
The Night of the Underground Terror - S3-E19
Factual error: The episode opens in New Orleans during Mardi Gras, circa approximately 1873. We hear a jazz band playing "When The Saints Go Marching In" although the song didn't emerge in a recognizable form until the end of the 19th century. (00:00:19)
The Night of the Underground Terror - S3-E19
Factual error: The small round table in West's railcar parlor has a flip-over top, with secret maps hidden on the underside. The wine decanter and glasses all stay attached when it flips. But impossibly, when West turns the tabletop back over at the end, there's a full cup of coffee sitting on it. (00:48:30)
The Night of the Kraken - S4-E6
Factual error: West and Artie are trying to move a cabinet from the wall. A closeup shot shows West's left hand entering from the right side of the shot to press a button that allows a secret panel to open. Unless West twisted his left hand 180°, then him pressing the button as shown is not possible.
The Night of Fire and Brimstone - S4-E9
Factual error: West fires seven rounds from his six-shooter without reloading to cover Gordon's escape.
