Continuity: The sheriff of Nottingham appears to be a very skilled fighter: he is able to swordfight with both the left hand and the right. He also has time to change his scabbard from one side to another in the middle of action - as proved several times throughout the movie.

Revealing: After the jailbreak, a number of reaction shots for which the shot background is the villagers in the speeding wagon, not only do they not "bounce" with the wagon, they are not even animated.

Continuity: In the scene just after Robin Hood jumps from the top of the burning castle, Skippy, the little boy rabbit is hanging on to Little John's arm. He first has three fingers and a thumb, then after a brief shot of the water, he has four fingers and a thumb. He switches back to three fingers and a thumb a few shots later.

Continuity: The plaster on Otto's leg changes from his left leg to his right leg throughout the film.

Continuity: The first time the jail door opens the hinges are on the left and the door opens from the right. The next time the jail door opens, the hinges are on the right and the door opens from the left.

Continuity: Near the beginning of the film, when the young rabbit fires his arrow over the castle wall, it appears to fall into an enclosed courtyard. But when Maid Marian first notices him, as he picks it up again, there is no wall behind her.

Continuity: After Robin and Little John kiss Prince John's hands and steal the jewels, Robin pretends to tell the Prince's fortune. Little John produces a ball full of fireflies and the prince tries to touch it, but Robin hits his hand away. The prince looks at it in shock - but surely he would have noticed the jewel missing from his ring.

Continuity: The Jewels in Prince John's crown change; a triangle of little red stones appears while he is thrashing around on top of the burning castle shortly before the film ends, in place of the larger red and green ones from earlier on.

Continuity: In the scene where Maid Marian is introduced, the boy rabbit's wooden sword appears out of nowhere as he draws it to "battle" the hen. He doesn't have it before nor after.

Continuity: The Sheriff shoots his final shot and hits the bull's eye straight on. When Robin shoots, the Sheriff knocks the arrow into the air. Robin corrects the arrow's angle with another shot and the arrow also hits the bull's eye, splitting the Sheriff's arrow. But since it approached from an angle, there's no way it could split it right the way down the length of it.

Plot hole: After Little John bores a hole in the bottom of the treasure box, several gold coins fall through the hole. The four rhinos holding the box should have noticed it becoming lighter.
