Robert Taylor goes out to take care of the horses wearing a gray shirt. Ava Gardner has a checked red shirt and skirt when he leaves. In the next scene Robert Taylor has a red shirt and Ava has a dark gray dress when she comes out to talk to him.

When the army rides into the town to liberate it from the bandits there are no advance scouts and the officers are at the front of the column. None of the soldiers has a gun in hand and ready for a possible fight or resistance.

When Keel and Taylor are herding the horses across the river Keel's horse rears up and he falls off. The horse shown is not the distinctive black and white pinto he had been riding, the horse is mostly black with a white face. Taylor saves Keel from drowning by lassoing him but as the horses are fording the river it is obvious they are walking, and not swimming, and the water is only up to the horses's thigh when Keel fall as off. Keel's character can't swim but the water was shallow enough he could have just stood up and walked to shore like the horses.

When Jose throws a knife closely past Barton's head, the knife zips past Jose before his arm finishes the throwing motion. This is probably because the knife was either mechanically propelled or thrown by an off-screen expert to make the stunt safer than it would be if the actor had thrown the knife.
