Corrected entry: Robin Hood and Little John steal all of Prince John's gold by tying bags of it to a constantly moving rope that runs between the bedroom and the jail. The problem is, when Little John shot one end of the rope into the bedroom on an arrow, the arrow just stuck into the wall. The rope wasn't looped around anything, so it shouldn't be able to move.
Robin Hood (1973)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: Wolfgang Reitherman
Starring: Peter Ustinov, Terry-Thomas, Phil Harris, Brian Bedford, Roger Miller
Genres: Adventure, Animated, Disney, Family, Musical, Romance
Continuity mistake: During the archery contest Prince John starts out wearing sandals, then wears no shoes, then wears sandals again when he dives out of the stand.
Marian: Oh, Clucky, surely he must know how much I really love him.
Clucky: But of course, my dear. Believe me, someday soon, your Uncle King Richard will have an outlaw for an in-law.
Trivia: The characters of Prince John and King Richard are based on real people. Their mother, Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine, really did prefer Richard over John and all her other children (although John didn't really lapse into fits of whining and sucking his thumb.) John eventually became king after Richard's death.
Question: Why doesn't Prince John like having his hand shaken?
Answer: Robin Hood, while disguised as a stork, wouldn't stop shaking Prince John's hand and it was starting to annoy him. Prince John was also robbed by Robin Hood earlier in the movie so he wanted to make sure that the jewels in his rings weren't stolen again.

Correction: Before he gets up there the clock strikes three. When he's almost done the clock strikes four. Even though he had to climb up there he could easily had time to loop the rope around something to make it movable.
