Continuity mistake: The rabbits have a close encounter with some rats in a shed on the cemetery. A spade falls over. In the next shot the spade lays in a wheelbarrow.

Watership Down (1978)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Martin Rosen
Starring: John Hurt, Ralph Richardson, Richard Briers, John Bennett, Michael Graham Cox
Watership Down is saved when Hazel's team drives the dog into the evil rabbits attacking them. General Woundwart is believed to have been killed by the dog but his body is never found, so who knows? Hazel eventually grows old and dies and leaves Earth with the spirit of the rabbit prince.
Suggested correction: No, the spade isn't visible in the wheelbarrow; you can see it next to Fiver.
Blackberry: Men have always hated us.
Holly: No. They just destroyed the warren because we were in their way.
Fiver: They'll never rest until they've spoiled the earth.
Trivia: The term "Prince with a Thousand Enemies" used in the prelude is a direct translation of the rabbit folk hero El-Ahrairah's name.
Question: Is it really true that a character swears in this children's rated film?
Chosen answer: Kehaar says "P*ss off!" to one of the rabbits.
