Continuity mistake: The Sheriff asks why Marion is treating him like an enemy when she knows that he wants her, and has just forcefully grabbed her. His right thumb is on her left cheek in medium shots and is missing in close-ups of Marion's face.

Suggested correction: I just watched that scene and there are two angles. One on Marion's face, the other on the sheriff's face. You can see the sheriff's thumb on Marion's face shot. His thumb can be seen briefly in the reverse angle.

Suggested correction: There were two sets of handprints. The one on the left was that of a child. The one on the right was that of an adult. When Robin reopens the slab, the prints are covered in mud and debris. He runs his hand over the child print then puts his hand in the adult print of his dead father.

Factual error: Richard I was not fighting his way back across Europe following the Crusades when he was killed. He had already returned to England and put down John's rebellion before returning to France to put down rebellions there.

Trivia: After Robin and his men arrive in Nottingham, Will Scarlet and Little John are in a tavern admiring the women - Will advises his comrades not to go for the most beautiful woman, but to go for her less attractive friends, thus ensuring success. This is the expression of Game Theory, as explained by John Nash (also played by Russell Crowe) in A Beautiful Mind.

Question: When the caravan that is moving the grain is captured by Robin Hood, he ties the men together and they are forced to walk back to the town ("17 miles" or so). Shouldn't they have used the metric system to state the distance they have to travel to the town? I thought stating the distance to be traveled in miles was just for the sake of the joke for American viewers.

Chosen answer: A "mile" is not American in origin. The British adapted it from the ancient Roman term, "mille passuum," meaning one thousand paces or strides. Each pace was the length of five Roman feet, resulting in a mile that was approximately 5,000 feet long. This measurement fluctuated up until the Tudor era, when Parliament established the current measuring standard, though the metric system, which was developed by the French in the late 1700s, has since replaced it in Europe and elsewhere. Britain still uses mile as a standard measure of distance on road signs and for speed limits, etc.
