Braveheart mistake picture

Visible crew/equipment: During the "full attack" at the start of the Battle of Stirling Bridge, Wallace repeatedly shouts, "Hold," and in the wideshot right before Wallace finally shouts, "Now!" as the horses gallop towards the right side of the screen, we can see a white car at the left side of the screen. Viewed widescreen version. (01:27:15)

Continuity mistake: At the end of the rock-throwing-competition scene between William and Hamish, as William is helping Hamish up there is an openly-bleeding cut on Hamish's forehead where William hit him with the small rock. Two seconds later the cut has sealed itself and there is no blood anywhere on his forehead. (00:25:40)

Other mistake: Near the end of the battle of Sterling after Wallace nearly hits one of his allies on the horse, look on the right side of the shot. An English man wearing metal armor is fighting some Scots. He doesn't make much effort, barely swinging his sword. The Scots fighting him also don't put up much of a challenge either.

Suggested correction: Because they're exhausted.

Continuity mistake: When the princess and her chambermaid are talking about William and how they killed his wife, at the end of the conversation, the princess leans back against the edge of the archway. In the next shot from over her left shoulder, she's not leaning back, but sitting straight up.

Continuity mistake: After being knighted, William says that he will invade England. In the close-up shots of Robert in the group reacting to him saying this, you can see the man whose bride was taken away by the English lord earlier in the film behind him. But, in the wide shots, he's not there. It's just some random man behind him.

Audio problem: At the end, when the sword is thrown and sticks into the ground, the sound of the sword sticking into the ground is not synced up with the impact.

Character mistake: At the beginning, in the funeral of the young lady, the priest says in Latin the traditional "In nomine patris et filii et spiritus sancti", but he says the last word wrong, "sanctus" instead of "sancti."

Continuity mistake: During the battle of Stirling, the archers' arrows hit the Scottish shields and are sticking out. When the army stands up to mock the English again, the arrows are gone.

Continuity mistake: After Wallace kills the noble and his crew for killing his wife there's blood on his face. At the funeral there is no blood on his face. The night of the funeral the blood on his face returns.
