Trivia

Goofs
Anachronisms
The stacks of precisely-cut firewood that are often seen in the village must have been made by using C20th machinery.
Continuity
At numerous times when they are going through the mountains, it is obvious that the horses are walking in plowed trenches.
In the town there are puddles of water when everything else is frozen.
Revealing mistakes
None of the horses has a winter coat of hair.
At the end of the movie it is supposed to be so cold that the two remaining baddies die of hypothermia. Judging by the breaths of both horses or the men the weather is not really that bad. In fact, numerous times there is no visible vapor at all.
