Continuity mistake: When Kay tells his father that he is now "Sir Kay" at the banquet celebrations in the castle, there is an eaten chicken and bones in front of him on the table that disappear in the very next shot.

Other mistake: Merlin says, "Man will fly someday". For a few frames after he says this, his thumb on his pipe is painted blue, then returns to its normal color. This causes a blinking effect.
