Factual error: When Arthur marries Guinevere, the altar is decorated with yellow hybrid tea roses. Hybrid teas were not developed until the late 19th Century; yellow ones would not have been available in England until approximately the 1950s.
First Knight (1995)
1 factual error - chronological order
Directed by: Jerry Zucker
Starring: Sean Connery, Richard Gere, Julia Ormond, Ben Cross
Revealing mistake: In the raid scene where we first meet Malagant, a four-sided wooden tower is shown on fire, and then it collapses from the damage. However, the tower's front legs don't buckle and as it falls, the burning tower appears to be completely intact -- it has simply been pulled down by ropes that are partially visible from the front.
Prince Malagant: This is what Arthur doesn't understand. Men don't want brotherhood. They want leadership.
Trivia: Prince Malagant describes the oubliette where he imprisons Guinevere as just having "walls of air." This is a reference to the fate of Merlin, who was sealed away in a "prison of air."
