The 13th Warrior

Continuity mistake: When the guy throws the second shovel of dirt on the red haired man, only his lower part of the back gets dirty. Two shots later the dirt is all up his back. (00:45:00)

Mortug

Continuity mistake: When the Wendol are attacking the village at night, one of them is shot by an arrow and falls off his horse into water. A couple of minutes later the same shot of the Wendol falling is used again for another arrow hit.

Continuity mistake: When Hamad and Herger are watching the burning village, Herger has a sip of his horn with its tip pointing up. When it cuts the horn's tip is pointing down. (01:00:20)

Mortug

Continuity mistake: Before the first battle scene, the king is telling them about the Wendol. The black-haired man is riding his horse back to the castle. He walks up and is taking off his gloves. There is a shot to the king and back to the black-haired man, and his gloves are back on his hands.

Visible crew/equipment: In a scene in a cave that is the lair of the "eaters of the dead," the camera takes an overhead wide angle shot of the "eaters" walking down into the cave. It is possible to see a young man wearing a burgundy t-shirt and beige shorts (a crew member), sitting against the wall of the cave cross-legged. (01:16:55)

Suggested correction: I've watched this scene a number of times on YouTube and I'm certain that this "crew member" is an extra. He is not wearing a T-shirt and shorts, his clothing is correct for an extra. There are also other extras sat cross-legged a few feet from him.
