Factual error: When Arthur marries Guinevere, the altar is decorated with yellow hybrid tea roses. Hybrid teas were not developed until the late 19th Century; yellow ones would not have been available in England until approximately the 1950s.
First Knight (1995)
1 factual error
Directed by: Jerry Zucker
Starring: Sean Connery, Richard Gere, Julia Ormond, Ben Cross
Revealing mistake: A horse gallops through a field and you can see a telephone pole.
King Arthur: This is the heart of Camelot, not these stones, not these timbers, these palaces and towers. Burn them all and Camelot lives on, because it lives in us. Camelot is a belief that we hold in our hearts.
Trivia: Prince Malagant describes the oubliette where he imprisons Guinevere as just having "walls of air." This is a reference to the fate of Merlin, who was sealed away in a "prison of air."
