Uranium is a heavy element and supposedly is in lead lined boxes. The empty lead boxes containing uranium would have been difficult for two men to load into a wagon. Even partly filled with uranium the boxes would have weighed more than the entire group of people could have lifted.

Rose Hilridge (the bounty hunter)'s gun is a Smith & Wesson Military & Police Model (.38 special) double action revolver. The M&P wasn't initially developed until 1899 and her model is an early 20th century variant. In fact most of the handguns are too modern for the time period. Only some Colt 1873 Single Action Army revolvers seen in the background (that are never fired) are not anachronistic to 1892.

Uranium was not known to be dangerous until well after the end of the nineteenth century. There would have been no reason for Jules to connect health problems with the pitchblende which was being mined.

Sam Danville: Ain't that right, you big ugly tick?

Gus McGreevey: Every condemned man gets a last request. What's yours gonna be?
