Continuity mistake: When Victoria is in Jamal's room wearing only a sheet, her hair is in front of and behind her shoulders between shots. (00:44:00)

Continuity mistake: When Jamal is trying to ride a horse for the first time, he rides to a stable. When Jamal leaves the stable, he has wheat on his shoulders. He takes it off, but in the next shot he has wheat on his shoulders again. Then in the next shot he does not have wheat on his shoulders anymore. (00:26:40)

Continuity mistake: When Martin first sees the castle, you can see the knights turning to the castle but then from the guard's point of view the knights are further back on the path. (00:12:00)

Continuity mistake: When Jamal is standing next to the guards when he arrives to the middle ages, small cabins are visible, but when the rebels are attacking, there's a wide shot of the field in front of the castle entrance. No cabins are visible.

Continuity mistake: At the end of the movie when Jamal has been pulled out of the water and taken care of, his clothes go from entirely soaked to completely dry. They CANNOT dry that fast, in that amount of time.

Continuity mistake: When the men are sitting at the round table and Jamal is introducing his fast food restaurant idea, the table is empty and then Jamal's paper scroll appears there, then the table is empty again and Jamal opens the scroll on the table. (00:39:25)

Continuity mistake: At the final battle, when Percy is holding a knife on Victoria's neck, you can see that is right under her chin. When he cuts her neck, the cut is lower than the place where he held the knife.

Continuity mistake: After Jamal saves Knolty's life, Knolty is sitting up on the ground. In a shot from behind him, his arms are holding him up, however when it switches to a shot from his front, his arm appears on his chest though only a split second later.

Continuity mistake: When they're closing the portcullis as Jamal is escaping, when the guard is struck, the last horizontal beam is shoulder level, with the spikes much lower. When the camera changes angle, the gate has risen so the spikes are nearly above his head and Jamal is no longer as crouched down to get under.

Continuity mistake: After Jamal receives lordship, there is a scene where he is conducting a meeting with the other lords. When he first walks in, there is a pocket on the upper left side of his shirt. In the next shot of him, the pocket is gone, revealing his "Sky" logo. Then in the next shot, it's back on again, and in this instance he makes a show of ripping off the pocket to reveal the logo.

Other mistake: When Martin Lawrence falls over the railing in attempt to get the mysterious necklace, the camera goes to another shot that pulls away from the moat. You can see the logo on the back of Lawerence's cover-alls swimming away at the corner of the screen, when he's supposed to be under water. (00:06:15)

Jamal: Courage is not the absence of fear. It is the presence of fear, but the will to move on.
