Corrected entry: At the church scene, the horsemen spears Christina Ricci's dad with a pole, it is a pretty smooth pole that has nothing to catch on to the body, so that when he tugs on it that fast, the man wouldn't have come with it, it would have just slipped out. (01:17:45)

Corrected entry: When Ichabod Crane cuts into the stomach of the dead pregnant widow, you see a fountain of blood spurt out and gush all over him. If the body has been dead a week or more, this wouldn't happen, as the heart needs to be pumping blood round the body for this to occur. (00:29:20)
Correction: The body would have decomposed and bloated by that time, putting the body cavity under some pressure. The first cut could spray Ichabod with some gore. Disgusting, but accurate.

Corrected entry: During the fight on the carriage, everyone jumps to a horse except the Horseman. Watch as the carriage hits the fallen tree. The Horseman has his sword in his right hand. After the Horseman lifts the carriage off himself, his sword is suddenly in his scabbard. (01:31:20)
Correction: We see an axe thrown by the Horesman disintegrate after it lodges in wood earlier on. I imagine his sword is the same. If he loses it, it or just casts it aside, a new copy reappears in his scabbard.

Correction: Gross as it is, the pole would have stayed due to suction and tissue trauma swelling. That's why first aid teaches you never to remove something that impales a person, but to leave it for a doctor.
