Continuity mistake: After Don Nicholas Medina has been killed by Maximillian and he and Catherine Medina stop the pendulum from slicing Francis Barnard in half any more than he has, there was a close up of the bloody blade being lifted up from his body. It was completely still, but in the next shot the shadow shows the blade still in movement as does the next far shot.
Don Nicholas Medina: Do you know where you are, Bartolome? I'll tell you where you are. You are about to enter Hell, Bartolome, hell... The netherworld.The infernal region, The Abode of the Damned... The place of torment. Pandemonium. Abbadon. Tophet. Gehenna. Naraka. THE PIT... And the pendulum.
Don Nicholas Medina: You will die in agony. Die.
