Goofs

Continuity: After Ned "fell from sky", Dusty seems to be in his 'Three Amigos' costume once again, although he was wearing one of El Guapo's gang member's clothing just seconds ago. Even though if we assume that he was wearing El Guapo's man's cloth on his own costumes, this time how Dusty has his Three Amigos hat is unknown. See more »
