At the very end, when the women are riding in the wagons going to meet their husbands, the Italian woman is seen in two different places on the same wagon.

After digging up the Quackenbush grave and retrieving the rum, they left the shovels.

At dusk there is one fire which lights the camp. A man is shot by one of the women and falls right onto it, more or less putting it out or certainly lessening the blaze by a lot. Yet right afterwards the visibility in the camp remains as good as before instead of being somewhat darker.

After their long desert trek, everyone runs for the water. None of the animals drink.

Buck tells the bachelors that the Donner party couldn't compare with what his women have been through. Half the Donner party died of starvation or freezing, or were the victims of cannibalism.

Laurie is seen grabbing a couple of the women's arms after they remove her dead body out of the wagon during the thunderstorm.

A couple of the dead women are still seen breathing heavily after the second Indian attack.

About 30 minutes into the film there's a scene where everyone is supposed to be bedded down for the night and are disturbed when one of the men tries to be with a woman in her wagon. But the scene is too brightly lit for a nighttime scene (even with a full moon) and was obviously shot in the daytime.

During a shooting lesson one of the men tells one of the women to "aim low that will make up for the recoil". When shooting a gun the bullet has long left the barrel, before the barrel begins to move in recoil. Aim low and you'll miss low.

After Susan Brewster is killed in the second Indian attack she is seen taking a deep breath when the camera cuts to her after she's supposed to be dead.

Many rifles used in the film are single shot, M1867 Remington Rolling Blocks. As the model number suggests, would not be invented until 16 years AFTER the year the film portrays (1851). All pistols used are Colt SAA 1873 (Single Action Army) revolvers in various barrel lengths (4.5" - 6.5"). The only revolvers available at that time were percussion handguns such as the Colt 1851 Navy, which used a cap-and-ball system (as the unitary cartridge - commonly known as a "bullet", which contains the projectile, casing, gunpowder, and primer - had not been invented yet).

Marks on the ground from a vehicle with tires visible when the wagon train first starts out.

If it was inevitable that the women would have to jettison all of their personal items at the beginning of the desert, they should've been advised at the beginning of the journey not to bring anything.
