When Cat is in the jail cell, the bars on her cell window appear and disappear between shots.
During the train robbery scene, there are both a single and a double set of railroad tracks shown. Most long shots show a single set, and the close-up shots show the double set. The scene ends with the actors brushing themselves off in front a double set of tracks.
As the gang has robbed the safe at the train and are ready to jump, they aren't holding anything in their hands as they start jumping off. In the next scene however, as they land on the ground they are holding money sacks from the train.
The level of whiskey in Kid Shelleen's bottle both falls and rises as he drinks during the target practice scene.
When Cat is jumping from the train, she jumps onto finely grained gravel and it appears from the sun angle that it is mid-afternoon. In the very next shot, when they are dusting themselves off and laughing, the side of the track is large loose gravel, and it appears from the sun angle that it is very late in the afternoon.
In the opening scene when the hanging gallows is being tested, the rope and sandbags fall through the trap door and end up about three feet off the ground. If the person being hanged ended up three feet above the ground, they would live.
They are not hanging a sandbag - they're stretching the rope. It will be adjusted to the correct length when the time comes.

During the harvest festival/fight, two cowboys are fighting and fall into the food table, knocking it over. What appears to be roast chicken is obviously fake, as it falls off the table and bounces several times, indicating it is light and likely hollow.
The Sunrise Kid and Sam the Shade are quite obviously not playing their banjos in their various scenes, although they move their hands slightly.
The hot "steam" vapors which emerge from Kid Shelleen's bath should rise rather than sink as they are ostensibly lighter than air; they sink because they are actually heavier-than-air dry ice vapors.
When the train cars are skidding to a stop, they stop much too quickly and cleanly. Clearly, an engine was on the other side and using breaks to stop it.
At the beginning of the train robbery sequence, a then-modern signal box is visible beside the tracks.
(At 22.08) Tea is poured from a plastic pitcher.
Modern air breaks are visible on the train; note the rubber tube by the coupling mechanisms.
When Clay is holding back the sheriff on the train, he says "Hit him!" three times. The first time, his mouth is not moving.
When the "runaway" beer wagon topples over, a cable can be seen running from the top of its "Brennan's Brewery" sign to the left foreground, pulling the wagon over.
Toward the end of the film, the "runaway" beer wagon team is being driven by a crew member, clearly visible under the casks.
At the square dance, shadows of the equipment are visible over Jane Fonda's head on the wall behind her.
When Catherine is on the train at the beginning, she addresses her teacher as "Mrs. Parker", but when talking to Jed a minute later she refers to her as "Miss Parker".
When Cat is throwing rocks at her gang, she hits Jackson Two-Bears in the middle of his back, but as he howls in pain he grabs his left arm.
