King Arthur

Corrected entry: When the knights leave on their quest to save the Roman family, they leave alone; then, at the estate, the Bishop's assistant suddenly appears, with no explanation as to how he got there.

Correction: I thought the same thing. While it looks this way, the Bishop's assistant did ride to the estate with the knights. His horse is seen briefly in the back of the line as the knights are riding cross-country. You really have to be watching for him in order to see him.

Corrected entry: When Merlin's warriors trapped Arthur and his men in the forest, they used barbed wire. Barbed wire was invented in the United States in the mid 19th century.

Correction: They used barbs from trees and wrapped them together to look like barbed wire.

Corrected entry: If even hardened troops were afraid to go north of Hadrian's Wall, it is highly unlikely a noble Roman family would be up there - outside the protection of the Empire - living in an unfortified villa with just a handful of guards.

Correction: It wasn't just a "noble family" living up there. They were missionaries, who have always lived in dangerous areas since the beginning of Christianity.

Corrected entry: In the scene where Arthur and the Bishop are sitting at the round table before the Bishop tells him about the new mission, he opens up the box with the release papers. There are only 6 rolls of paper and there are seven knights.

Correction: The release papers are for the Sarmatian knights only, not including Arthur. There are only six of the Sarmatian knights.

Correction: I could not see it going frame by frame on my 32" TV.

Revealing mistake: When Arthur is giving his speech before the last battle, in the background are three radio towers. You never know Arthur might need a radio to find out tomorrow's weather.

Trivia: One thing was digitally edited for the promotional posters (the trio of pictures of Guinevere, Lancelot and Arthur): Keira Knightly's (Guinevere) bust was increased purely to attract more viewers.

More trivia for King Arthur

Question: What does the Saxon who rallies the troops actually yell? He yells it twice: once, after Cerdic meets with Arthur in front of the wall and gives the order to "prepare the men for battle", and then a second time when Cerdic gives the signal after the only survivor of the first "wave" comes back through the wall. (And I don't mean his cry of "battle formation.").

Answer: I don't think it's supposed to be German. Probably Old Saxon. Could be something like "slahten fiand" - slaughter enemy.

Answer: He yells 'Schlachtet den feind!' (In very, very bad "German") - 'slaughter the enemy!'. And his army seems to yell: "Schlachtung! Schlachtung! Schlachtung..." - "Slaughter! Slaughter! Slaughter..."
