Plot hole: In the scene where William takes Murron for their initial ride, he shows up in pouring rain, yet all further shots show the two of them totally dry. The tone of her mother's voice when they get back suggests they did not spend the night together, and the whole sequence appeared in a couple hours. They could not have gone from soaking-wet to bone-dry that fast.
Braveheart (1995)

Directed by: Mel Gibson
Starring: Mel Gibson, Brendan Gleeson, Brian Cox, Patrick McGoohan, Catherine McCormack, Sophie Marceau
Visible crew/equipment: At the funeral of William Wallace's wife, Murron, a white van can be seen. He bends down to kiss her and as he stands back up, if you look over his left shoulder through the trees you can see the van going past. It's very quick, small, and blurred, but it's there. (00:54:25)
English Officer: I hope you've washed your arse today - it's about to be kissed by a king.

Question: Why does Wallace spit out the pain killer that the princess gives him?
Answer: Because it's a reference to what his Father's last words to him were at the beginning of the film before he was killed, 'I know you can fight but it's our wits that makes us men'. That's why Wallace says to the Princess, 'It will dull my wits and I must have them always'.

Chosen answer: Just like he said, it would dull his wits and not leave him fully lucid the next day when he had to face the torture.
