| Plot: | Clint Eastwood is a mysterious preacher who comes to a gold mining camp near a small town in the mountains. The miners are in grave danger as a ruthless landowner decides to take their land, with the support of the sheriff. The only one who seems brave enough to save them is this preacher who came from nowhere and nobody knows his past or his real name. Why is the sheriff afraid of him? Why is he such a good shooter? Is he really a preacher? |

Continuity: Amount of snow in town, and seasons in general. Continuity: The stick of dynamite that Barret throws away after it is dropped by the Preacher explodes much too soon considering the length of the fuse still attached to it. Continuity: When Barret throws a stick of dynamite into the tent, it lands near the front of the tent. The explosion comes from inside the tent. After the explosion the lit fuse of the thrown dynamite can clearly be seen. Continuity: When Hull Barret rides into town by himself on the wagon he is fine. When riding out with The Preacher after the fight you can see a cast on his arm. It is also visible as he mounts the wagon. Back in camp, it's fine again. Crew: During the final gunfight, one of the gunslingers walks under a roof overhang on the side of a building where what appears to be a pair of aluminum colored floodlight housings can be seen. Miscellaneous: When Preacher splashes the man holding a lit match over Barret's wagon with a bucket of water, he actually fails to put the match out. Revealing mistakes: When Megan picks up her dog which has just been shot dead the dog's body is stiff, an obvious prop. SYNC: When Megan is shouting after Preacher at the end of the film, she calls his name twice - the echo following the second time she calls does not match her voice. Revealing mistakes: When Coy La Hood gets on the horse for the first time, there is a rip in the seat of his pants. CHAR: Barrett speaks of a four ounce nugget being a quarter-pound of gold. Precious metals (gold, silver and platinum) are measured by Troy weight, which has 12 ounces per pound. Revealing mistakes: In the final showdown, Stockburn is shot several times by the Preacher. In the next shot, small rivulets of blood are shown running out of the bullet holes. Considering that Stockburn is wearing a trenchcoat over a suit, it's unlikely blood would just trickle out onto the coat like that - not to mention a gunshot wound would probably bleed a little more profusely. Revealing mistakes: Before Marshal Stockburn shoots Spider Conway's large gold filled rock in half you can see that it is already split in half before Stockburn fires. Continuity: In the final showdown, the various scenes are cloudy, overcast and then sunny between shots. DATE: A building in town during the last shoot-out with Stockton is marked "Drug Store". Under the words "Drug Store" is written "Prescriptions". Prescriptions weren't required back then. FAIR: When the preacher approaches Stockburn he unlocks his firearm to re-chamber it. The bullet chamber he chooses is visibly empty yet he locks it in place and kills Marshall Stockburn. However, this could be a deliberate choice by the filmmakers, in line with other suggestions that the Preacher is some kind of mystical character. Fact errors: After the fight in the camp the Preacher, as he is helping "Club" back to his horse, tells him that some ice will make his groin feel better. Ice would not have been available that time of year if at all. |

The Preacher: Nothing like a good piece of hickory. Coy LaHood: Sacramento ain't worth moose piss. Coy LaHood: Do you imbibe? The Preacher: Only after nine in the morning. Megan Wheeler: Preacher? Preacher? We love you Preacher... I love you!... Good-bye! The Preacher: Well, if you're waitin' for a woman to make up her mind, you may have a a long wait. The Preacher: Meantime, why don't you put me to work? Hull Barret: Oh no, I couldn't ask you to, uh... Well, I mean, ya know - maybe if there was somethin' spiritual. The Preacher: Well, that Spirit ain't worth spit without a little exercise. Now you tell me where. [Preacher has just hit Club in the groin with a sledgehammer - Josh LaHood looks at Club when he gets back up on his horse and they start to ride away] Josh LaHood: You think you can make it? Club: Ice!... Ice! Teddy Conway: Where are you going Mr Hull? Hull Barret: I'm going into town Teddy Conway: Ain't that kinda dumb after what happened last time? Eddie Conway: It was him. Him and his men. They shot him. Forever. The bullets kept hitting him. Forever. Sarah Wheeler: Who are you? Who are you... really? The Preacher: Well, it really doesn't matter, does it? |
