Where did you watch this movie?

Embedded with quirky comedy and intense action, this animated adventure delightfully depicts the fluctuating fortunes in the life of Rango, an ordinary pet chameleon with a passion of acting. While travelling with his family, an unfortunate accident leaves him stranded in the Mojave Desert. Lonely, afraid and desperately thirsty, Rango embarks upon a journey in search of water. After a series of mysterious events, he ends up in a little town called Dirt, which is a thirsty town inhabited by animals who are in desperate need of water, a new sheriff and, most importantly hope. Rango, being the talented actor that he is, poses as the answer to their problems. Will he really find the water and become the hero that the folks of Dirt think he is, or will he reveal his identity and break their trust?

Factual Mistake
When the mayor pulls the trigger to shoot Rattlesnake Jake, we here a ratchet sound, and the gun's cylinder rotates to....an empty chamber. The gun is a single action Colt Peacemaker (the classic western gun), and the cylinder would not move on the trigger pull, it would move to position when the hammer is cocked before each shot.

Factual Mistake
When Rango stares down Jake ready for a gunfight, a dragonfly flies by and Rango catches it with his tongue and eats it. Dragonflies are located around abundant water resources and the town of Dirt is bone dry.

Factual Mistake
The clock tower is prominently shown to be a large (by their scale) ticking Telechron pocket watch, complete with company logo on the dial. However, Telechron never made either pocket watches or wind-up mechanical movements; their entire product line over 80 years consisted of electric clocks and related electrical timing devices, all powered by motors.

Factual Mistake
The bats' feet are reversed. Birds' feet curl backward, but bats' feet curl forward - exactly the opposite.

Errors in Geography
There are no natural Saguaro cacti in the Mojave Desert. They are native to the Sonoran Desert.

Continuity
At the accident, when the fish tank starts floating, Rango has the glass in his left hand, but when he gets up and stares at the toy fish, it is in the right. In that same scene the doll's arm goes from left to right as well.

Continuity
Throughout the movie the arm of the one-armed female doll torso switches sides. In some scenes the left arm is attached to the doll, and in other scenes it is the right arm.

Revealing Mistakes
Armadillo tells Rango to follow his shadow, which means he should be going opposite the direction of the sun, yet you see as Rango walks away that his shadow is pointing out to his right, indicating that the sun is to his left.

Character Error
While Rango hangs out in the Mayor's antechamber, he plays with a golf club, and knocks over a couple of actual golf balls that fit his character size. Yet when he plays golf with the mayor later, they both use pill bugs as golf balls.

Character Error
Rattlesnake Jake is in the habit of constricting like a constrictor rather than a rattlesnake.

Continuity
When the water tower lands on the Hawk, the Hawk should be facing chest down, instead when the Hawk is crushed his chest is faced up.
Trivia:
The Spirit of the West is visually inspired from Clint Eastwood. In the back of his golf cart, the "Spirit" has five Oscar-like film awards (which Rango calls "golden guardians"). Eastwood has received exactly five Oscars, including his Irving J. Thalberg Award. The voice of the "Spirit," Timothy Olyphant, starred in the Western television series, Deadwood (2004).

Rather than recording voice-overs in booths, with every actor isolated from everyone else, most of the voice-over work was recorded on a set, with the actors voicing their characters while performing with their fellow cast members. This enabled the performers to follow the rhythms of their co-stars, while also giving them room for improvisation.

This is the first animated feature produced by Industrial Light & Magic, the special effects company created by George Lucas to work on Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977).

Rattlesnake Jake was modeled after Lee Van Cleef.
