Factual error: Robin and Azeem land at the white cliffs of Dover and Robin says something like, 'Tonight we will dine with my father'. Nottingham is 218 miles from Dover. It would probably take about two weeks to walk it.

Continuity: Towards the end of the film, Robin climbs on to the catapult, followed by Azeem, who moves his sword as though putting it in a sheath, but you can clearly see he either misses or there is no sheath, and so he just holds it there. When the two are catapulted in the next shot, both of Azeem's hands can be seen flailing and the sword can be seen fixed at his waist.

Factual error: When Marian is embroidering at home, she is singing to herself "Le chant des oiseaux", which Renaissance composer Clement Janequin didn't write until the 16th century.

Continuity: When Robin reaches the cliffs of Dover after escaping from prison, he jumps out of the boat and starts kissing the ground. He then reaches out with his left hand for help up, but when the camera switches, he's being lifted by his right.

Continuity: When Robin heroically swings across to Fanny and the child in the Sherwood Forest battle scene: He swings straight across, with the rope's focal point fixed between himself and Fanny. Then he gives the rope to Fanny to swing across to John. This time the focal point is between her and John. Someone somehow managed to "move" the rope in order to move the plot along. That was jolly nice of them wasn't it?

Continuity: At the execution scene where Will Scarlet is about to be beheaded, Robin picks up a burning arrow to shoot the executioner. When the arrow is first picked up from a dead body, the flame is half-way up the arrow, but when Robin fires it, the flame is (conveniently) at the arrow's tip.

Revealing: When Robin crashes through the stained glass window to save Marian and fight the sherrif, the panes of glass flutter in the breeze, showing clearly that they are made of paper.

Factual error: When Morgan Freeman goes to pray he starts by kneeling on the ground and soon afterwards he bows down. The Muslim prayer sequence starts by standing up for quite some time then one bow, up again followed by 2 kneeling bows then up again.

Continuity: In the scene where Marion and Duncan leave the camp by boat, Marion's lady-in-waiting, Sarah, is nowhere to be seen. Surely she should have left with Marion, as she is with Marion later in the chapel.

Continuity: When Robin reaches his homeland, after he kisses the ground, he rolls over in the water. His coat is covering him, then in the next scene, it isn't, then it is, then it isn't.

Factual error: During the religious service we see noblemen and women sitting on benches - benches were not introduced in churches until the 19th century.

Continuity: While Morgan Freeman is off praying, Robin fights the men attempting to capture the young poacher. As Robin defeats the men, careful viewers will notice Freeman climb down the rock wall, climb back up, and once more, climb down to join Robin.

Continuity: When Azeem first blows something up, the Friar is next to him and Will, Robin, John and Bull are seen behind them around the model of the castle. However when it goes to the next shot there's only Will and Robin around the model. John and Bull walk in a few seconds later.

Continuity: When Robin goes to the Church, the camera pans down from an enormously high vaulted ceiling in a vast cathedral. A few moments later, Robin and the Sheriff come running out of the Church and it's a small little stone shack.

Continuity: At the start when Morgan Freeman is tied up in the prison, at one point when he asks the Christian to free him, his hands are tied at the wrists, then apart tied to the wall, and then back to his wrist all in three quick takes.

Visible crew/equipment: It happens very quickly in the scene where they are moving the catapult. If you look above Robin and Azeem, you can see a crew member in the window above them. He is wearing all black, but you can tell he is trying to get out of the shot.

Continuity: When Robin first goes to visit Marion, he enters the house with a roll on his back (over the shoulder). It's there when he enters and the maid tells him to 'stand right here'. A moment later "Marion" appears, and the roll is gone, it's not on his back, or even in a wide shot showing he took it off. It never appears again.

Continuity: Throughout most of the film, Robin wears brown boots with metal studs around the calf. When he is fighting the Sheriff of Nottingham at the end, he is suddenly wearing greyish boots, with cross-garters. Since you see his brown boots just before he enters the castle - when he kneels down near the dung they're especially visible - it is rather ludicrous that he would suddenly change them, given that he is rushing around trying to save the other outlaws, and then Marion.

Factual error: Aside from the earlier mentioned mistake of them apparently walking to Nottingham in less than a day, if Morgan Freeman was facing Mecca to pray, they set off in a southerly direction anyway.

Continuity: When Robin is talking to the Bishop about his Father, they are in a small chamber in the Church. Later on in the film, when the castle is being stormed, Friar Tuck enters this room and throws the Bishop out of the window. Only this time the exact same room is in the castle, not the Church.
