Continuity mistake: Before Ash flies through the vortex, you will see that he does not have a watch on his left wrist. Later he has a watch on his left wrist after he passes through the vortex. (00:02:40)

Revealing mistake: In the part it shows Ash getting sucked into the time portal you can see the wire he is hanging from. (00:02:45)

Continuity mistake: When Ash emerges from the Vortex, he falls on what looks like mats. When he coughs, the mats are gone. (00:03:25)

Continuity mistake: At the beginning when the wise man says to King Arthur something along the lines of, 'I believe he is the one written off in the Necronomicon. He who has been prophesied to fall from the sky and deliver us from the terror of the deadites,' He is sitting on the horse to the right of King Arthur. When King Arthur says, 'What? Who? Likely he is one of Henry's men,' the wise man is now on the other side of Arthur. (00:04:30)

Continuity mistake: When Ash falls through the portal he has his gun, and after the King's men seize him it's knocked out of his hand. After the King draws his sword to challenge Ash to combat, Ash shoots the sword with his gun. How did he get it back so fast? (00:04:45 - 00:17:45)

Revealing mistake: When Duke Henry's soldier is thrown into the pit, the pair of soldiers holding him stop just short of actually throwing him off the ramp and he very obviously jumps into the pit. (00:09:55)

Continuity mistake: When Lord Arthur shoots the crossbow at the fleeing prisoner near the beginning, the camera angle changes to that of the arrow. For a moment, before the camera changes angles again, the arrow is going slower than the guy running. (00:10:30)

Revealing mistake: When Ash is in the pit and the Wise One tosses him his chainsaw, as the chainsaw is tumbling through the air the ripcord on it is always hanging down. Shouldn't it be flying all over the place? (00:13:55)

Continuity mistake: When Ash is in the pit, he grabs the chain that is moving that causes the spikes to come together. However, when he finally pulls himself up, the chain is attached to a spike in the ground. How was the chain moving? (00:15:23)

Continuity mistake: Ash, Henry, and the other prisoners all have clean, non-sweaty faces and neatly combed hair after trekking across the hot, dusty lands in the "chain gang" line. This is particularly noticeable on Henry just after Ash demands that the prisoners be set free; even his little hair decoration is still in place. (00:17:05)

Other mistake: Just after his 'If any of you primates even touches me' speech, Ash yells and then turns to shoot the pit monster. Only problem is, while he's yelling, Ash is turning to his right. But in the next shot, he's turned to his left. (00:18:45)

Continuity mistake: In ED2 and Army they obviously had no real way to make it look like Ash was missing a hand so they obviously had him put his hand in a fist and put a bandage over it, long wrist, eh? (00:19:30)

Continuity mistake: When the witch falls the ground, playing possum, she is lying with her head away from Ash and Arthur, but when she jumps up, her head was where her legs were. (00:21:16)

Continuity mistake: In one of the scenes where Ash is fixing his new hand, specifically the scene where he is tightening the straps on his arm, you can see a big chunk of his hand past the wrist. (00:22:45)

Visible crew/equipment: In the scene where Ash first goes to the graveyard where the Necronomicon is said to be located, for the first second of the third shot of the camera "chasing" Ash, in the lower lefthand corner you can see the booted foot of the person carrying the camera. (00:28:40)

Continuity mistake: Ash is chased by an evil entity to an abandoned windmill and only prevents it from getting him by barricading the door shut, yet when he smashes the mirror you can see the door behind him and it's wide open. (00:30:10 - 00:31:45)

Revealing mistake: When Ash is forced to swallow one of the mini-Ashes, it's obvious that the two mini-Ashes pinching his nose aren't actually touching him and have been green-screened in. (00:31:05)

Continuity mistake: For the mini-Ash's only one is Bruce, all the others have fake chins on to make them looks like Bruce. (00:32:15)

Continuity mistake: Ash has his shotgun stolen from him by the mini-Ashes who use to shoot at him. Ash then runs outside (all the while splitting into his good and bad halves) leaving his gun inside the windmill. Moments later Ash now has his shotgun again so he can blast Evil Ash in the face. (00:32:30 - 00:38:55)

Continuity mistake: The mini-Ashes ram a fork into Ash's behind from the left. He stands up and pulls it out of the right side. (00:32:30)

Phoenix

Ash: Now listen up, you primitive screwheads. This... Is my BOOMstick! The 12-gauge double-barreled Remington. S-Mart's top of the line. You can find this in the sporting goods department. That's right, this sweet baby was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Retails for about $109.95. It's got a walnut stock, cobalt blue steel... And a hair trigger. That's right. Shop smart. Shop S-Mart. YOU GOT THAT?!
