Directed by: Michael Caton-Jones
Starring: Liam Neeson, Tim Roth, John Hurt, Jessica Lange
Other mistake: Halfway in the first fight scene, Montrose "confesses" to Argyll about his weariness, as the POV changes there is a heavy blurry skip at the top of the screen. (00:15:24)
Other mistake: In the scene around the camp fire, Rob Roy can be clearly seen with with plasters on his hand.
Factual error: James Graham, 4th Marquess of Montrose, became 1st Duke of Montrose in 1707, six years before the film is set, although the film refers to him throughout as a Marquess.
MacDonald: I do not serve Robert McGregor. I am his friend, and count myself fortunate to claim it.
Question: After Mary is raped, she begins cleaning herself off in the water in front of Alasdair who immediately figures out what happened and of course wants to tell Rob, so he'll avenge her. But she's extremely adamant that Alasdair not tell Rob about it. But if she REALLY didn't want Rob to know, wouldn't she have waited until she was alone to clean herself up? I'm always confused by this, because when she tells Alasdair to keep quiet, she never seems to be hinting that she doesn't really mean what she says. On the contrary, she's very passionate about it.
Chosen answer: She wants to clean herself thoroughly ASAP, so as to avoid pregnancy (though that way doesn't work anyway); if she waited until she was alone, it would've been too late to even try.
