Continuity

In the final shootout between the Marshal, and "Print" with "Print's" killer son "Johnny", Dillon shoots first, striking the young man once. The final kill shot is then delivered by the outlaw's own father. The second shot causes the dying man to slowly fall to the ground. As he does this, he clearly drops his rifle which lands completely under his body, with both of "Johnny's" hands ending up close to his head, (still under him). His father and Marshal Dillon then approach the dead man, and as they get to his body (his father first), the rifle stock is lying partially on his torso/waist with his left hand grasping the rifle somewhere near the middle of the weapon, his hat lying closer to his face. As his father crouches down to him, his hat in a different spot, now resting in between "Johnny's" outstretched legs, and the rifle.
In the shootout near the end of the show, "Johnny" comes out the door firing his rifle, a lantern hangs on the wall behind him. The Marshal fires, striking Johnny, and the lantern is still visible. Just after "Print" fires and the camera pans back to Johnny again, the lantern is now no longer hanging on the wall as it had been. As Johnny falls to the ground, dying, the lantern is now on the ground, near his rifle. The camera then pans back from Marshal Dillon's and Print's point of view behind the bushes, and the lantern is seen still hanging on the wall where it had been in the beginning of the shootout! When Print now approaches his dead son, the lantern is not only on the ground again, but it is also both closer to Johnny's rifle, and also reversed with the bottom of the lantern the opposite way than it had been in previous shots.

Anachronisms

There is an electrical outlet visible near the boardwalk, when the killer is listening at the window.
