details

• Fälschlich als Panne betrachtet: The Eiffel Tower is seen in the long shot of Paris; the London Eye appears in the long shot of London. These are both shots of specially constructed models/mattes and the modern landmarks are there deliberately as jokes.
  
  
• Abfolgefehler: Jocelyn sits down twice during the final joust.
  
  
• Abfolgefehler: During the final joust, Sir William's armor is removed revealing a large blood stained hole in his padded shirt. Later in the scene the blood stain is visible but the hole is completely gone.
  
  

• Abfolgefehler: During the Parade in London, you can see that stand-ins are used for Roland, Geoff, and Kate when they are marching with William's standards in the long shots, rather than the actual actors.
  
  
• Abfolgefehler: In the montage of William during his sword of foot fights, you can see that his armor has the line from where it was repaired by Kate. His armor isn't broken until the next joust scene.
  
  
• Filmfehler: In the final shot, when Jocelyn embraces William, the back of her dress is seen. The overlap portion of a center back zipper is clearly visible.
  
  
• Abfolgefehler: While Adhemar is being prepared for the final joust, his page puts on his helmet and begins to close the visor with his ungloved hand. In the next shot, Adhemar closes the visor again with his own, gloved, right hand which, as far as we have seen, is already holding his lance (he is holding the horse's reins with his left hand).
  
  
• Abfolgefehler: Chaucer has cloth stuffed up his left nostril to stop a nosebleed, which switches to the right side in one shot, and then back to the left again. Looking closely, it appears that the film has been reversed to keep the direction of movement constant as Chaucer backs away from Will - leaving it would have created a more jarring error.
  
  
• Abfolgefehler: Several shots during the final joust have an over-exposed, milky appearance caused when a camera assistant dropped and split a film magazine on the final day of shooting.
  
  
• Filmfehler: The mirror reflection of Jocelyn's face is obviously composited onto the holy water font at the church and doesn't look very much like a reflection in water at all.
  
  
• Abfolgefehler: The dirt on Chaucer's back when William, Wat, and Roland first meet him.
  
  
• Abfolgefehler: When Will is knighted, Geoff is sitting between Will and Edward in the normal shots and next to Roland and Wat in the overhead shots.
  
  
• Abfolgefehler: When Wat is lashing the lance to William's arm, William's necklace is gone. Just before William jousts for the last time, the necklace reappears.
  
  
• Abfolgefehler: In the final joust, the horse is wearing his old leather breast plate in a close-up, and in the next shot he's wearing the new metal one.
  
  
• Abfolgefehler: In the final joust, Geoffrey sees that they need more time while Wat is strapping the lance to William's arm. He jumps up into the stand to make his introduction, which he does from the arm of the prince's chair. But in a reaction shot of John Thatcher, the arms are entirely Chaucer-free.
  
  
• Abfolgefehler: In the final joust, after the first run with Adamar, William's armor is bent where the lance pierced his shoulder. At the next scene, the armor is in perfect condition, then later when he tells Kate to remove it because he can't breath, it is bent again.
  
  
• Abfolgefehler: When the starter waves the flag before the first lance in the final joust, his hands reverse positions between shots.
  
  
• Abfolgefehler: In the parade over London Bridge Kate is to the right of William's horse in one shot, with other pages to her left, but in the next shot she is on the left next to the crowd.
  
  
• Abfolgefehler: When William is being knighted, Chaucer is sitting immediately next to him, but in the next shot, from overhead, he has moved. He then moves back again in the next shot.
  
  
• Abfolgefehler: When William first sees Jocelyn and follows her into the church (on horseback) there is scaffolding around the door and men working on it. Two minutes later when he is ejected by the clergy, the scaffolding has gone.
  
  
• Abfolgefehler: When Will is in the stocks and the prince revels himself, one of the guards behind him pulls out his sword twice.
  
  
• Crew oder Equipment sichtbar: As Wiliam is testing his new armor for the first time, he gets a beam thrown to his chest. In this stunt a stand-in is used. You can see the color of his hair change from blond to brown.
  
  
• Filmfehler: In the final joust, the camera comes in for a close up on William, where you can see the bobby pins above his ear holding his hair back
  
  
• Faktische Fehler: Edward was not called the Black Prince until years after his death.
  
  
• Abfolgefehler: In several of the jousting scenes, William's horse goes from being a red roan to a bay and back again.
  
  
• Abfolgefehler: The first time William jousts Adhemar, the sky jumps from being overcast to a cloudless sunny day between shots.
  
  
• Abfolgefehler: Right before William is told, instead of losing, to win the tournament for Jocelyn, William asks Wat if he remembers the church when they were kids. Wat's hair then changes from being down his forehead, to pushed back, between the shots.
  
  
• Fälschlich als Panne betrachtet: William's horse changes several times during the jousting montages. This is because every time he unseated a knight, he won that knight's horse. It's not unheard of for knights to use several different horses in one tournament.
  
  
• Anachronismus: If the Geoffrey Chaucer character truly IS Chaucer, then all the knights in the film should be wearing chain-mail, not plate armor, as knights did not begin to wear plate armor until after Chaucer's death.
  
  
• Faktische Fehler: The film claims that it was not acceptable for a peasant to become a knight. While it is true that knights were eventually considered to be a position of high social standing, in the middle ages it had always been perfectly possible for a man of any class to become a knight, however, less and less peasants became knights over time because of the cost of equipping oneself to do this.
  
  
• Abfolgefehler: In William's final joust with Adhemar, when his horse starts charging, Kate, Roland, and Wat run along behind his horse for a short period of time. As the shot changes you can see Wat standing still in the background. Then the shot changes back to the three running.
  
  
• Abfolgefehler: In the scene for the final joust, between long shots and close ups, Jocelyn's arm changes from being through the father's arm to resting beside it several times.
  
  
• Faktische Fehler: In every scene where knight's collide on the lyst, you see their lances in one hand and the reins to their horse in the other. When knight's jousted, they would drop their reins before impact so that a severe impact would not cause them to jerk the reins or become entangled in them causing more damage to themselves or the horse.
  
  
• Faktische Fehler: Gelderland, which is a part of The Netherlands, was not called Gelderland at the time the movie supposedly took place. It was called Gelre.
