Revealing mistake: During the showdown between Hawk and Voltan, Hawk frees Gort by cutting his ties, Gort then grabs his hammer and whacks the guard with it and punches another guard. If you watch the pillars you can see them wobble slightly when the guards' bodies make contact with them. (01:26:33)
Other mistake: When Voltan murders the nun who betrays the group, there are a number of errors in quick succession. First, he appears to stab her in the arm, judging from the position of his body to hers when he stabs her. Second, there is no trace of blood on the dagger when he holds it up a second later. Third, her body seems to have disappeared (or at least moved) when the camera changes to a wider shot a second later. (01:15:19)
Continuity mistake: When Voltan approaches the monastery on his horse to deliver Hawk and the others an ultimatum, the Abbess goes outside to listen and it is night time. However, in every shot of Voltan speaking to them it is day time. (01:07:32)
Continuity mistake: When Gort is setting up the "dead mans switch" on the slave trader the location of his hammer resting on his wooden carry case changes from shot to shot. Sometimes it's sat right next to the slave trader, sometimes a bit further away. (00:53:21)
Visible crew/equipment: In one of the flashback sequences, Voltan has Hawk tied to a tree and is firing a crossbow at him while holding his fiancé hostage. When Voltan says "The next one will send you to hell, little brother" you can see the arm of a hidden crew member move into view from behind the tent on the right side of the screen. (00:46:08)
Continuity mistake: When Gort is fixing the wheel on the man's wagon there are brown leaves stuck to it. When the shot changes to behind Gort the leaves have suddenly vanished. (00:31:45)
Continuity mistake: When Voltan barges into the convent with his men the nuns go from behind their individual pews to huddled in a group behind the Abbess between shots. (00:11:06)
Revealing mistake: At the end when Hawk fatally wounds Voltan there is a slow motion shot of Voltan rolling around in pain on the floor and his helmet falls off, revealing his whole face. You can see he is not wearing his burn make-up here. (01:28:16)
Continuity mistake: When Hawk and the gang attack Voltan's camp Crow jumps over the same tent and fires an arrow at a soldier three times. It's the same shot each time. It might have been less obvious if they were not shown one after the other. (01:10:31)
Revealing mistake: When the slave trader is showing the two men the slaves that he has for sale you can see one of the slaves has a mark on his wrist from a wristwatch. (00:51:07)
Continuity mistake: Throughout the film there are a number of obvious jump cuts which create glaring continuity errors. For example, when Hawk and Ranulf enter into the mystical gateway in the forest and then suddenly disappear (as they are supposed to have entered a separate dimension), the fog behind the gate suddenly changes pattern as they disappear, betraying the use of a jump cut.
Continuity mistake: When Hawk and Ranulf are about to enter the gateway in the forest, Hawk raises the "mind sword" which lights up bright green. Then cut to a shot from behind and Hawk still has the sword raised in the air but there is no longer any green light illuminating the forest. (00:29:12)
Continuity mistake: When the two bandits are having a competition throwing axes at Ranulf, from shot to shot, the positions of the axes stuck in the tree next to his head are noticeably a little different. (00:21:58)
Revealing mistake: When Ranulf approaches the bandits on horseback you can see a part of his real hand in his sleeve sticking out as he cups the crossbow with it. (00:20:30)
Continuity mistake: When Hawk frees Ranulf from the tree (after he's killed the bandits) there are no marks on the tree where the bandits had thrown axes. (00:23:29)
Visible crew/equipment: When Voltan threatens the innkeeper you can see the reflection of a square light reflector on the side of his helmet. (00:23:56)
Audio problem: When Ranulf is resting in bed and explaining the fate of his village to the nun there is a cut to a wide shot of the room and if you look at Ranulf you can see his mouth is not moving any more. Then, cut back to a close-up, and his mouth is now moving again. (00:08:52)
Continuity mistake: When Ranulf is in bed and explaining the fate of his village to the nun, in the close-up shot of them the nun is facing away from Ranulf but when the shot changes to a wide shot of the room she is now facing toward him and then back to the close-up shot, and she is facing away again. (00:08:47)
Revealing mistake: When Hawk is enchanting his fathers sword he holds the "mind stone" in the palm of his hand and you can see a wire attached to each side of the stone. A few seconds later and, of course, it "magically" lifts from his hand. (00:03:14)
Continuity mistake: At the beginning, when Voltan arrives on horseback at his fathers castle, it is daylight. We are then shown an exterior shot of the castle itself and it is pitch black. Then, a minute or so later, we see Hawk arriving on horseback at the castle and it is daylight again.
