Far and Away Goofs/Mistakes

Movie Goof (factual errors): More than once, people fire more rounds than their weapons can hold.
Movie Goof (continuity error): Shannon falls off her horse into the muddy water, submerged nearly to her neck. The next time we see her on her horse, her white shirt is dry and pristine.
Movie Goof (continuity error): When Shannon and Joseph first go to meet the ward boss, Shannon's face is splattered with blood, and she wipes some of it away. Later in the scene, the blood is back on her face.
Movie Goof (continuity error): At the end of the movie, when Joseph and Stephen fall off the horse, Joseph hits his head on a good sized rock. He gets up and staggers, then falls down with his head about a foot away from the rock. When the camera dollies up and looks down from an overhead shot, he is several feet from the rock.
Movie Goof (anachronisms): When Joseph and Shannon step off the ship in America, vendors are selling American flags with 50 stars.
Movie Goof (anachronisms): When Joseph and Shannon arrive in Boston the American flag waving has 48 stars in the blue background. In 1892, there were only 44 stars on the flag.
Movie Goof (continuity error): During the land race scene, Joseph is carrying his flag on the back of his horse. The flag disappears and reappears between shots.
Movie Goof (revealing mistake): The night before the race, as Joseph talks in the tent about how he'll win his land, the tent wall behind him has clearly visible seams that he is supposed to fall through. When he falls and gets up again, the tent isn't ripped, as if someone fell in, it's parted, as if they were sewn that way.
Movie Goof (continuity error): When Steven challenges Joseph to a duel, he tosses a glove on Joseph's chest, and it lands on the floor beside him. In the next cut, the glove is on his stomach.
Movie Goof (continuity error): When Joseph brings Shannon to her family after she gets shot, she is seen lying on the couch facing left. The next time we see her, she is facing right.
