details

• Anachronisms: The song "A Bird in a Gilded Cage", being sung during saloon scene dated 1892, was not written until 1900.
  
  
• Continuity: Towards the end of the film when Robert Ford shoots and throws the gun on the floor, the gun disappears when Robert Ford leaves.
  
  
• GOOF-DATEE: In the scene where Robert Ford is working in the general store, there is a bicycle leaning against the wall. It is supposed to be the type of bicycle from that period, a so-called 'highwheel', aka 'Ordinary' or 'Pennyfarthing'. However, the bike posed here is a contemporary type intended for use by circuses and parade riders, and is only superficially similar to the correct kind.
  
  

• Anachronisms: In the scene departing Martha's farm for Kentucky, Dick Liddil is shown shouldering a pair of saddle bags. The bags are of a M1885 Pattern of the US Army, not produced until five years after the scene in the movie occurred.
  
  

• Revealing mistakes: SPOILER: When Wood gets shot by Bob, we can see the bullet rip through his head, but as Wood is falling there is no bullet hole on the wall nor a single drop of blood.
