Davy tells General Jackson that he "admires a man who don't do his fighting from the seat of his britches," meaning he respects Jackson for not staying away from the fighting and instead engaging directly. Jackson then spends the entire fight safely away from the fighting, sitting on a hillside on his horse, casually smoking a pipe.

When Davy and his fellow volunteers leave the army camp, they promise to return once their families are stocked up for winter. Davy rides off with George, Zeke, and a few other buckskin-clad men who are not named. When they make good on their promise to return, it is just Davy and George. No mention is made of the other volunteers, who would be classified as deserters by Major Norton.

When Davy is wading through the lake, he is holding his powder horn near chest level to keep it from getting wet. When it cuts to a shot of an alligator and then back to Davy, the horn is now dangling in the water and getting wet.

When Davy Crockett's journal closes at the end, it closes on the title page "The Creek Indian War," the name of the adventure that has just ended. Title pages come before the story, not after it.

Red Stick was the name given to a group of Creek warriors who fought Andrew Jackson's army. They were called that because of the red sticks that they carried into the battle. It was never the name of a chief.

Stock footage of wildlife is used to supplement several sequences involving wild animals. The footage is of a noticeably different quality than the new footage.

When Davy is backing away from a rattlesnake, the shot of Davy fades out to a shot of George. The footage of Davy freezes before it has fully finished fading out.

When the major and his men are exchanging fire with the Creek, one of the uniformed soldiers is hit in the back with an arrow. He does not react for a few seconds, then, without ever exhibiting signs of pain or distress, flops forward, either dead or unconscious.

A Creek lookout is killed with two quick knife thrusts to the back. Not only would that not kill a man instantly, as shown, but there is no blood either on the lookout or the knife that stabbed him.

Numerous fighters on both sides of the conflict are shot with guns and arrows yet no visible wounds or blood appear.

After Davy fails to grin down Red Stick, he says that it worked on a bear. It actually didn't.

General Jackson insists that Davy and George take a group of uniformed soldiers with them on their scouting mission. Jackson was supposed to be a good tactician. Sending men in bright blue and white uniforms to sneak into enemy territory in the woods is a very poor way to gather information.
