Continuity mistake: When Bowen first catches up to Draco under the waterfall, he is completely soaked as he stands there and talks to him. Draco takes off flying and Bowen goes after him on his horse and is now completely dry, hair and all.

Continuity mistake: When the evil King Einon goes to follow his mother into the passage to kill her with a spear, you can still see the back of him by the time you hear her death scream. His arm wasn't even in a position to thrust a spear at her.

Continuity mistake: When the trap door slowly closes trapping Bowen and Einon in the basement to fight it out, the shot is reversed. In the top corner of the shot the flames of the fire are running backwards.

Continuity mistake: In the beginning of the film, the tooth that Bowen is holding after he kills the dragon changes shape twice. For example, when he holds it up when he sees Einon's men, it is shorter and thicker than the tooth he was holding when he walked out of the smoke.

Continuity mistake: When Bowen throws his spear at Draco in the cave, he throws it on an arc and fairly slow. It hits Draco flying perfectly straight and faster than when Bowen threw it.

Continuity mistake: When Gilbert takes aim at the target, he loads up an arrow with black and white feathers. When he shoots the arrow, its feathers are completely white.

Continuity mistake: During Bowen and Draco's last scene together, the light shining on them comes from the same light source, but their shadows overlap instead of merging.

Continuity mistake: When Draco is pulling Bowen through the forest, you can see Bowen passing the same set of white birch trees several times.

Continuity mistake: When the monk first appears he is riding his mule writing about King Arthur in his book. He falls off the mule after the dragon flies over them and the book is nowhere to be seen.

Continuity mistake: When young Einon kneels down by his dying father, the position of his arms changes between the wide shot and the first close-up.

Continuity mistake: Near the end of the film when the girl approaches the archway, she kills someone with an axe, but after there is no blood on it.

Continuity mistake: After Einon stabs Bowen in the river, there's blood on the point of his sword. In the next shot, the blood has disappeared.

Continuity mistake: When the peasants are taking archery lessons from Quaid, the friar picks an arrow with all white plumage, but when he brings the arrow up to his face to sight his target, the plumage is white with brown stripes.

Continuity mistake: When Bowen is dragged through the forest by Drago, we see him/stuntman hit a tree twice. Same shot, two different camera angles.

Continuity mistake: When Kara is in the village, people are throwing fruit and other things at her. When she turns around to face the man she has some dirt on her face, a few shots later there is a lot more dirt.

Continuity mistake: At the big fight between the peasants and Einon's knights, Bowen strikes one enemy from behind with his sword. Not only does it look like he strikes between upper torso and right arm, but also when he retrieves his sword, there is no blood stain on it.
