    “Unforgiven” Goofs List

    • Revealing mistakes: SPOILER: The Schofield Kid shoots Quick Mike three times in the chest. However, when Fatty runs out to check on him, one shot shows Mike with a bullet wound in his forehead.
    • Incorrectly regarded as goofs: English Bob says that no assassin would dare hold a gun to a monarch. There were, in fact, six assassination attempts made against Queen Victoria, and they were well known at the time. He certainly would have known about them, though it should be mentioned that he was concerned with successful attempts (looking at a monarch causes the hand “to shake”). However, it should be noted that English Bob was mainly saying this to antagonize people and not necessarily because he truly believed it.
    • Continuity: At the first time in the saloon, Munny pushes the glass on the table until it touches the bottle. The next shots show the glass a little distant from the bottle.
    • Anachronisms: Belt loops are clearly visible throughout the film despite the fact that they were not invented until the 20th Century.
    • Revealing mistakes: English Bob is in jail and Little Bill is reading from W.W. Beauchamp’s novel, but a sheet of script is taped onto the page and clearly visible.
    • Revealing mistakes: When William Munny wakes up from his fever after being assaulted by sheriff Little Bill he sits outside the shack and talks to Delilah Fitzgerald. You can see the blue sky behind the house through springs in the wood revealing that it’s not the same house/shack as in the first shot and the fact that it’s a scene-set.
    • Anachronisms: Several of the characters, including Little Bill and William Munny, are seen sometimes wearing shirts that button all the way up the front. This is incorrect for 1880/81, when men’s shirts were still of the pullover variety, with or without a collar, and a small buttoned placket at the top.
    • Audio/visual unsynchronized: In the bar room shootout scene, many pistol shots are fired. The foley sound is correct. When Munny fires the rifle to kill Little Bill, the foley sound adds the classic “rifle shot” sound, with obvious echoes. In the enclosed barroom, there would be no echoes of the shot, just a loud bang.
    • Continuity: When given back his Spencer rifle by Bill (around the 95th minute), Ned’s grip on the rifle jumps between shots.
    • Continuity: When Munny rides to the saloon and sees Ned Logan in his coffin, you can see that his face almost looks unharmed although he died while taking heavy beatings to his face from Little Bill.
    • Anachronisms: When Munny first shows up at Logan’s home and Logan’s wife can be seen regarding Munny’s rifle, the rifle clearly has a molded plastic butt plate.
    • Audio/visual unsynchronized: When we first see the train the whistle is heard blowing while the locomotive is in the shot, but there is no steam blowing from the whistle, which happens on steam engines whenever the whistle is blown.
    • Anachronisms: Near the end of the movie, Jaimz Woolvett is talking to Clint Eastwood about how it feel that he just killed a man, if you look at his coat, the buttons are Snap Buttons, which didn’t exist in 1880/1. They weren’t invented till 1885. They were considered specialty buttons and weren’t commonly available till mid 1890s.
    • Anachronisms: In the background of the scene where William Munny is leaving the saloon near the end, there is an American flag with 50 stars.
    • Continuity: During the final shootout in Greeley’s, you can see the gun shot wound on Deputy Andy’s shirt before Will shoots him.
    • Revealing mistakes: After shooting the pheasants from the railroad car, English Bob holds the barrel of his Colt Peacemaker up and opens the side-gate of the cylinder, rotates the cylinder and the empty shells fall out. Empty casings cannot fall out of the cylinder as they expand during the discharge of the shell. The Peacemaker has a spring-loaded push-rod attached under the barrel to eject the casings from the cylinder after they are fired.
    • Continuity: As Munny is getting beaten in the bar below, the Kid and Ned begin to flee the room. Ned falls out the window and rolls off of the wet roof and is heard landing in the mud on his back. When he jumps up, he’s completely dry and not a bit of wetness, or mud/dirt on his back and arms.
    • Continuity: When the Kid and Munny are discussing the killings after the last one, the Kid is drinking from a bottle that’s fluid level keeps changing around however slightly.
    • Continuity: When Munny and the kid arrive at the out house to kill the second cowboy under, the cloak of darkness, the shot in the scene from the rear shows the Kid animated and holding his nose while the ones showing from the front have them both still and no holding of the nose.
    • Revealing mistakes: After Quick Mike is shot in the outhouse and the two are riding away from the scene, the men shooting at them, are shooting in two different directions, even though the two rode off side by side. This appears to be done so that the men can shoot around the camera.
    • Anachronisms: The action of the film takes place in 1881. When the townspeople are forming a posse, they are discussing who will pay for expenses, and one of them says that the store won’t sell them any more 30-30 shells unless they pay cash. The 30-30 was not introduced as a cartridge until late 1893.
    • Revealing mistakes: When English Bob is shooting the pheasants from the train, strings attached to the pheasants are clearly visible.
    • Anachronisms: Although pheasants were not introduced to the American west from Asia until the 1890s, they are present along the railroad tracks in 1880.
