Directed by: Anthony Harvey
Starring: Anthony Hopkins, Peter O'Toole, Katharine Hepburn, John Castle
Revealing mistake: At the beginning of the movie Geoffrey organises an ambush on a group of infantrymen marching on a pristine beach. When the second group of horsemen attacks there are already tracks in the sand, obviously from previous takes. (00:08:55)
Revealing mistake: When Eleanor comes across the Thames there is no other boat around, however, in a shot from the side you see the bow wave of the boat with the camera crew. (00:17:15)
Continuity mistake: When Eleanor comes to free Henry's sons from the dungeon, the officer who is accompanying her stabs the guard in the throat. When he pulls the dagger out there's blood only on one side and nothing on the straw when the guard is kicked across the floor. (01:53:20)
Prince Geoffrey: I know. You know I know. I know you know I know. We know Henry knows, and Henry knows we know it. We're a knowledgeable family.
Trivia: Katharine Hepburn, who played Queen Eleanor, actually is descended from Eleanor of Aquitaine along numerous lines, from both Eleanor's marriage to Louis VII of France, and her marriage to Henry II, of England.
