Robin corrects the arrow's angle with another shot and the arrow also hits the bull's eye, splitting the Sheriff's arrow. But since it approached from an angle, there's no way it could split it right the way down the length of it.

Suggested correction: This is not a continuity mistake. Earlier in the film, Prince John's crown becomes damaged by crashing through an iron gate with the guards. You can see the crown is crooked and bent. The three smaller gems on the crown are actually one of the large gems broken as a result of crashing through the gate.

Revealing mistake: Just before the archery contest, the Elephants play their trumpet sounds. Both the times they play it, you can notice that the same scene has been used twice.

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Prince John and Sir Hiss are discussing where the next stop is, Sir Hiss's tounge is flat and purple-blue. In the next scene where Robin Hood and Little John are kissing the rings off his tounge is snake shaped and red.

Hiss: A perfect fit, Sire! Looks most becoming! You look regal, dignified, sincere, masterful, noble.
Prince John: Don't overdo it, Hiss.
