The High Chaparral

Ten Little Indians - S2-E2

Continuity mistake: Two of the ten orphaned Apache children are found hiding near the house, bringing the total so far to six. But later, after Chodi sends out a signal, two more children come in from the desert, and these are again counted as five and six. But the fifth and sixth of the children were already there - so the new total should have been eight, not six.

North to Tucson - S2-E8

Continuity mistake: Victoria is wearing a torn white blouse after the stage coach overturns, then, after she and Jim are walking through the desert, and they find water, she is wearing a pristine pink blouse. Then, a later shot shows the white blouse again, and while she and Jim are camping for the night, she is shown changing into the pink blouse.

More quotes from The High Chaparral

Trivia: High Chaparral was one of the first TV westerns to hire large numbers of genuine Native American actors to play the "Indians." During a casting call for the part of Apache Chief Cochise, one actor, when asked to give his name, responded "Cochise." "No, no," the casting director argued. "That's the role. We want your name." "Cochise." This went back and forth a few times before the actor slapped the table and angrily declared, "Damn it, I am Cochise!" And to the casting director's astonishment, he was - a namesake and great-grandson of the original Cochise. [Source: TV Guide, 1967.].
