Revealing mistake: After Richard has accepted that he will be king, he appears before a large assembly. Several of the soldiers standing by the walls are obviously plastic dummies. They have unnaturally smooth and blank facial features, and when you can see their hands, they are not grasping their guns, but merely holding their hands stiffly out with the gun between them.

Directed by: Richard Loncraine

Revealing mistake: In the scene aboard the train, when Richard kisses Queen Elizabeth, the soldier in the background is a plastic dummy.
Trivia: Dame Maggie Smith (Duchess of York) plays Sir Ian McKellen's (Richard III) mother in this movie - even though she is only five years older than him.
Lady Anne: No beast so fierce but knows some touch of pity.
Richard III: But I know none, and therefore am no beast.
Richard: Why, I can smile... And murder while I smile.
