• Revealing mistakes: After Guinevere gets saved by Lancelot the first time she uses a small crossbow to shoot a guy trying to kiss her. She shoots the crossbow straight up into the guy's stomach, yet when the guy falls dead to the ground, the crossbow bolt is coming horizontal out of the guy's stomach instead of vertical as it should be.

• Continuity: During the night battle with Malagant's forces, flaming arrows loosed against the camp are sent in an overhead arc (in order to travel the required distance). When Malagant's forces are seen being shot by these arrows, the arrows are traveling at a near-horizontal trajectory instead of falling from above.
  
  
• Anachronisms: When the horse is caught, there's an 17th/18th century stone bridge in the background.

• Anachronisms: The small crossbows used, also known as "pistol" crossbows, are a modern invention and were certainly not known in the early 6th century.
  
  

• Continuity: SPOILER: Arthur's pyre smokes before it is lit by the flaming arrow.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: SPOILER: Arthur's pyre floats straight out from the camera. When it begins to burn the flames and smoke are blown sharply to the left. Even if a current were moving the pyre away from the camera the wind should be blowing it to the camera left.
