Question: At the end, who was part of the travelling circus that Mattie didn't like?
Answer: Rooster Cogburn. She considered him a legendary lawman, like Wyatt Earp. She felt bad that he was reduced to being a sideshow attraction in a circus.
Question: After Rooster carries the snake-bitten Mattie back to the cabin and fires shots to alert the people inside, he collapses. What does he say then, was it, "I've grown old?"
Answer: Yes. He groans, "I've grown old."
Continuity mistake: When Mattie crossed the river on horseback, she was submerged to her chin. When she exits the water on her horse, her clothes, gear, boots and hair braids should have dripping wet. They appeared dry. When the ranger pulled her off her horse onto the ground, her wet clothes would have caused the dry dirt to cake on her like mud.
Rooster Cogburn: We'll sleep here and follow in the morning.
Mattie Ross: But we promised to bury the poor soul inside!
Rooster Cogburn: Ground's too hard. Them men wanted a decent burial, they should have got themselves killed in summer.
Trivia: Josh Brolin cut his hair with a knife in order to accentuate Tom Chaney's unkempt look.
