Alla faccia degli anacronismi nei film storici !!!
Goofs for
King Arthur (2004)
Factual errors: Despite the claims made at the beginning of the film, factual and historical inaccuracies abound.


Continuity: When the Saxons charge Hadrian's wall, the gate is alternately open/closed between shots.


Anachronisms: The hilts on Lancelot's swords are affixed with Torx fasteners, unavailable in fifth century Britain.


Anachronisms: Guinevere's headdress at the end of the movie is held in place by modern bobby pins.


Audio/visual unsynchronized: When the wood-people trap Arthur and his men with barbed-wire-type enclosures, the large bald character can be seen to be shouting or yelling, however, there is no sound of yelling.


Revealing mistakes: In the final battle sequence, after the first wave of attack is slaughtered. The last survivor comes out of the door at the gate and collapses. Right before he does the door behind him closes. When we see the gate from the Saxton's side the door is open. Then it's closed on the Roman side and the door is open again in the next scene.


Continuity: In one scene Guinevere is seen wearing a dress that has one shoulder bare, in the next scene, the opposite shoulder is bare.


Continuity: Once when Arthur is talking to Tristan, his hair changes from being in front of his face to brushed to the side and back again to in front of his face between shots.


Anachronisms: Crossbows were not a feature of warfare in fifth century Britain.


Anachronisms: Arthur and his knights are wearing modern shoes with modern lacings.


Anachronisms: The Pope did not have the power to give land to a people. This was possible nearly 400 years later.


Anachronisms: The "traitor" outside the gate of Hadrian's Wall is seen hiding in a Horse Chestnut tree. However these were not introduced to Great Britain until the middle of the sixteenth century


Anachronisms: When Guinevere is kneeling next to Lancelot's body at the end of the battle, the modern heels of her boots are clearly visible.


Crew or equipment visible: Just after the end of the first battle with the Woads, Bors draws back the curtain of the carriage to look in on the Bishop. As he does so, the leg and boot of a crewmember is visible inside the carriage.


Continuity: When the knights are going back to the fort after the first fight, their positions in the group change between shots. After talking with Bors and Gawain, Lancelot rides forward, but in the next shot is back again.


Continuity: Despite the fact that it's supposed to be winter, there are leaves on the trees.


Anachronisms: In the final battle scene, the Britons are shown using trebuchets, which were not known in Europe until after the Crusades.


Miscellaneous: When Bishop Germanus enters the Great Hall he queries the number of knights present although he carried only one box of six discharge papers - the exact amount for the knights present. Although Arthur made seven, he was not included as he was a Roman Commander.


Continuity: During Arthur and Lancelot's discussion before they leave on their mission, the lighting falls on the left side of Arthur's face in close up, and the left side of Lancelot's, despite the fact they are facing each other. In the wider shot moments later, the right side of Arthur's face is illuminated (as it should have been all along).


Audio/visual unsynchronized: After they rescue Guinevere and Lucan and they're riding along the road, Lancelot goes up to Arthur and says "If the Saxons find us we will have to fight." His lips don't move along with the words.


Continuity: In the winter scenes, none of the actors have frosty breath since the scenes were actually filmed during the summer.


Continuity: The traitor who was originally killed in the tree by Tristen is later on seen in the film right after Arthur kisses Guinevere, in the center of the cheering crowd.


Continuity: During the first battle with the "Woads", four characters are riding white horses (Arthur, Tristan, Gawain and Galahad) and three characters are seen riding black horses (Lancelot, Bors and Dagonet). Yet when they are seen charging the "Woads" in a v-like formation there are three white horses, one at the front and two at the rear, and four black horses, two on each side.
