Audio problem: Near the end of the movie, when Ichabod gives the horseman his head back, in one shot, the horseman has his sword in one hand, and in the next shot he puts his head on with both hands; yet we do not hear any sound of him either dropping his sword or re-sheathing it.

Continuity mistake: In the flashback to the death of the headless horseman, when the horseman's steed gets shot and falls to the ground, the blood and the wound are on the right side of the horse...later in the scene when the horse is seen again, the wound is on the left side of the horse. (00:16:45)
Ichabod Crane: It is truth, but truth is not always appearance.
Trivia: Christopher Walken doesn't speak a single word in the entire course of the movie.
Answer: It may have been because she was a widow. I'm not sure, but it was possibly frowned upon at the time.
