First Knight (1995) - 13 mistakes
Directed by Jerry Zucker, starring Julia Ormond, Richard Gere, Sean Connery (add more)
Revealing: In the raid scene where we first meet Malagant, a four-sided wooden tower is shown on fire, and then it collapses from the damage. However, the tower's front legs don't buckle and as it falls, the burning tower appears to be completely intact -- it has simply been pulled down by ropes that are partially visible from the front.
Continuity: One of Malagant's knights holds Guinevere captive and tells Lancelot to throw down his sword. Lancelot drops the weapon at his own feet and takes a few steps forward to reason with the knight. Later on when the knight is dead, Lancelot simply bends down and picks up his sword from the ground. How did it get there? By right it should have been a few yards BEHIND him.
Continuity: After the town in the beginning is ransacked and burned, the leader of the pack is giving his speech about who is their leader. He carries a sword with serrations on one side towards the hilt. A shot of his horse is shown and the serrations of his sword are pointing out at the crowd. The shot switches to behind him and the serrations are pointing towards him.
Continuity: When they are in the forest in the rain after they escape from the bad guys castle; they have a back and forth moment where Lancalot's hair on his ear changes from shot to shot. When the camera is behind him you can see a thick rope of wet hair across his ear, and when the shot changes, the ear is clear of any hair.
Continuity: Closely watch the horses that are being used throughout the movie. The horse ridden by King Arthur and the one ridden by Maligant are one and the same. Also, the bay horse ridden by the stableboy is the same horse used to transport the kidnapped Guinivere to Maligant's castle. This would be okay, but both these horses are very distinct-looking, and it's painfully obvious that they're being shared.
