Goofs

The Night of the Ready-Made Corpse

The Wild Wild West

Edit

Continuity

Immediately after the initial fight with the Colonel's guards, West's suit is dirty and dusty, and his hair is disheveled. When he enters the office, his suit is cleaned and pressed, and his hair is perfectly combed.
When West and Gordon are discussing closing the cast, the tower West is building changes height substantially between shots.

Revealing mistakes

In the opening street scenes, set during daylight hours, both Jim and Arty cast multiple shadows.

Miscellaneous

Jim West is building a tower with matches he picks it up at the end of the scene and throws it to Arty. The matches he puts on do not fall off.
In the final scene Rose's boyfriend enters the bar. Yet, he stands at the doorway looking around as if he's never been there.

Being such a small town it's likely he's been to her work site before.

Also, upon seeing Rose, the boyfriend stays at the doorway and doesn't walk towards her and the two agents.

While this inaction sets up the framing of the final shot it's extremely unnatural.

Anachronisms

When Lavendor removes the bandage from the killer's face, it's obviously an elastic bandage. Elastic bandages didn't exist until 1914.
When investigating the death of Claudio Antille, West and Gordon, the casket shown in the mausoleum is not of the type used in the late 1800's. While individuals could purchase ornate caskets, with fancy mouldings and handles, the lid of the casket was flat. The classic domed casket lid we're so familiar with today is was introduced much later.
Throughout the episode, Funeral Director Fabian Lavendor (Carroll O'Connor) wears blue rubber gloves, which did not exist in the 19th century.
