Corrected entry: Paris is a reasonably accurate archer from what we're shown, yet his first shot at Achilles (from close range, with plenty of time to steady himself and Achilles not moving) hits him in the heel. This made sense in the original, when Paris fired from the walls and was basically lucky to hit Achilles' one weak spot, but in the movie the events have been relocated to a quiet temple and the arrow in the heel makes no sense at all.

Correction: Paris was up on the balcony when he fired his first shot, and Achilles was sitting on the ground hugging Bricieas, with his leg out behind him. It makes perfect sense for him to shoot Achilles' leg, so he would be sure not to hit his cousin should Achilles suddenly move, and also, with his leg shot Achilles would be less likely to be able to get up the stairs and kill Paris.
