- Continuity: Gil Carter (Fonda) pulls his gun out twice when the mob first arrives at the Ox-Bow.
- Continuity: During opening sequences when Fonda is at the bar, the whiskey he is drinking changes from clear to dark.
- Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Despite being of Mexican decent, Anthony Quinn repetitively replies "No Sabe" to questions. The correct conjugation of "I don't know" in Spanish is "No Se".
- Revealing mistakes: Juan Martinez throws a knife that lands right next to Farnley's foot. If you look closely you can see a thin wire attached to the end of the knife, indicating that first the scene was filmed with the knife being jerked backwards by the wire, then the film was played in reverse, to give the desired illusion of the knife landing at Farnley's feet.
