Corrected entry: When you go back in time to catch up with someone shouldn't you be in the EXACT time and place where the other arrived? You shouldn't be days or so late because the machine was configured to send you to that same time. We can't presume to say that the machine was erratic because when they were sent as a group they all arrived at the same place and time. Of course, by then the movie would be over. This is typical of most time travel movies.

Factual error: Both the English and French armies are wearing uniforms (English red and the French blue). An army would not have had a uniform at this time - each knight would have his own standard and colours - these colours would also have been worn by his squires. The peasants (bowmen) would wear their own clothes - usually a brown or other earth tone, and definitely not a red/blue tabard.
Marek: We're speaking the same language, but you don't understand a word I'm saying, do you?
Lady Claire: No.
Trivia: Although the movie was almost a completely different story than the book, they did make reference to a scene in the book: when you see the guy in the beginning in the hospital, he has blood all over his face. The reason is because right before then he was talking about Quantum Foam and then went into convulsions, then started spewing up blood...gory, but a nice add in to let us know that the writers actually read the book.
Question: At the end of the movie, when they find out when Marek died, why does Kate say "...or 1971"?
Answer: Kate is actually saying, "Born 1971."

Correction: They say that they don't fully understand how the machine works and that they can,t pinpoint the landing site. The same thing probably goes for the date: they can set a ballpark arriving dtae, but that's about it. Furthermore, because of that, the time travelling could be seen as continuous, i.e. those arriving second will get to the past after those who left first.
