Jack Elam, James Garner, Harry Morgan, and Suzanne Pleshette in Support Your Local Gunfighter (1971)

Goofs

Support Your Local Gunfighter

Edit

Continuity

In the bar fight, Patience sees Latigo lying face-down on the floor with nobody near him. In the close-up, Latigo's lying face-up with his head on the leg of another unconscious cowboy.
In the bar fight, Patience places an empty beer mug on the chest of the knocked-out guy on the floor next to Latigo. The mug changes position by 90 degrees in the subsequent shot.
The same two men hurriedly pass together right behind Swifty Morgan twice after he arrives in Purgatory and begins walking down the street, once in close-up of Swifty, and again a short time later from a different angle further away, clearly the same footage from different angles used twice to lengthen his stroll down the street.
The shaving cream on Latigo's face in the barbershop scene changes between shots.
When Latigo tells Goldie his thoughts aren't worth a penny, she isn't touching him. In the next shot her arm is draped over his shoulders.

Incorrectly regarded as goofs

The mistaken idea that this movie is set in the late 1800s is due to Miss Hunter's College starting in 1870 as the Female Normal and High School. Patience could not have known the name "Hunter's College" because it was not called that until 1914.

There are a number of Anachronisms based on the belief that the movie is set far earlier than it actually is. Cutty Sark whisky introduced in 1923, Kewpie dolls- 1910 and iron railway trestles: several thousand iron bridges were built in America between 1840 and 1880.

Further, the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railway that Jug is delivering his summation from, consolidated in 1910.

Revealing mistakes

When the miner shoots his rifle down at the feet of Latigo Smith, he is clearly aiming about 10-15 feet to the left of where the bullet hits the ground.

Anachronisms

Though ostensibly set in the old US west, Jug quotes the song "Cecilia," which was from 1925.

Character error

Before he succumbs to it, Latigo states that in roulette the house has an 8% advantage and wins outright once every 12 spins. In reality, the house advantage is 5.26%, winning outright once every 19 spins.
