Genres: Adventure, Comedy, Family, Fantasy, Mystery, Sci-fi, Thriller
Factual error: When the roast ox is cut in half by the swordsman, fruits spill out which were totally unknown to the ancient Greeks - most notably pineapples, mangoes and papayas. None of these fruits were available to Europeans for another 3,500 years when they were discovered in South America and the South Pacific. (And Greek explorers did NOT discover them independently, nor did they trade with anyone who did.).
Continuity: As Kevin and the Time Bandits make their way to the place that Napoleon has taken control of, five people are executed by a firing squad. A couple shots later, the same group of people are being executed again.
Visible crew/equipment: When Kevin remarks how they must have run into an invisible barrier, the reflection of something can be seen in the barrier. Might be a camera or some other kind of equipment.
