• In the scene in the barn when William is being taught to dance, the one showing him is punched by the other guy. If you watch it, his nose is bleeding on one side, then in the next shot, it's on the other side. This happens several times in the scene. - Tanna

• At one point during a tournament Will says, "To think it's the first time I've broken a lance!" Earlier during practice and when he took the dead guy's place he broke at least four. - mandie

• In the scene where William is on the street where his father lives, he is talking to a little girl. In this scene it is raining and the film cuts away several times. Each time it cuts to a different perspective his hair is slicked back, and then it is down in his face. Also, his hair is very curly in some scenes and straight in others. (HBO) - Dawn

• Near the end when William is getting ready to joust, you see the woman in the background come, bend down to talk to the father, then sit, when it changes camera angles, she was standing up again. I saw this movie a while ago, so I can't remember much of the details...sorry. - shannon

• Towards the end of the movie, William was hurt on his right shoulder while jousting. It showed that there was a hole in his shirt and some blood. A few scenes later there was no hole in his shirt and the blood was a lighter color. (VHS) - The Tonester

• Right after the first sword fight scene while william's friend said"in the garden of his turbulence." exactly at the same time two woman in the stands put her arms up to cheer and put them down quickly because it was at the wrong time. (VHS) - The Tonester

• (Audio/visual unsynchronised) In one of the deleted scene, where Chauncer is giving his speech at the rack, at the end of this scene Prince Edwards Knights William, He says " I knight you sir william" his lips do not move. (DVD) - Freddie

• (Revealing mistakes) When William is brought to Chaucer by The Summoner and the Pardoner, and finds him naked again having just lost his clothing gambling, he has a laceration at the top of his left shoulder which disappears when the camera shoots him from the back. - PaCaTex

• (Continuity) During the "golden years" song/dance routine, Count Adhemar is viewed in close up - but he is gone from the background during the dance shots. (Special Edition DVD) - clgaz125

Commented Goofs

• Why would Wat punch Chaucer in the first place? If they were teaching Will to dance then Wat would have to dance the ladie's part, so he would have to "follow like a girl". - mandie
  • Comment: Well, if u think about it, if u were a guy how would you like to "follow like a girl" with another guy?? - M

• Will, Wat, Roland and Chaucer are supposed to be from England but they speak with American accents a lot of the time. (DVD) - mandie
  • Comment: It would be strange for Will to speak with an American accent, as he (Heath Ledger) is from Australia orginally. - AngelGDH

Corrected Goofs

• During the scene on the road where William first meets Chaucer, there is at least one point where the 'naked' man is wearing underwear. After William threatens Chaucer with his dagger, Chaucer sits up and there is a short frontal shot reveling white patterned boxers where there really should be none. - Nerillka
  • Correction: Actor Paul Bettany (Chaucer) was completely naked in the scene where he meets William for the first time. He wasn't wearing boxer shorts. Listen to the DVD audio commentary for further proof. (DVD) - Morticia

• Older William's eyes are brown, while younger William's eyes are blue. (DVD) - surfnangel
  • Correction: Surfangel, kid's eyes can change color up to the age of 10, and lil' Will looked about 8 to me. - mandie

• Also, in the end of the movie as Jocelyn turns so you can see the back of her dress can be seen, you see a zipper. I do not believe zippers were around in the 14th century. (DVD) - surfnangel

• William and his buddies are supposed to be in France in the beginning of the movie, right? How come no one there speaks French? (DVD) - mandie
  • Correction: The reason the main characters are not speaking French, is because they are actually from England. - Laura
    • Comment: Laura, I didn't mean just the main characters. You don't even hear French in the background. (DVD) - mandie
