Revealing mistake: When Finn draws a fish at the beginning of the film you see a dent already in the paper at the spot where he draws the eye. (00:03:10)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: Of the fish Finn is drawing at the beginning of the film there are two different versions in close-up. (00:03:05)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the movie Finn is drawing standing in shallow water. He is holding his pen right at the tip, however, a close-up of his drawing shows a long part of the pen but no fingers holding it. (00:03:05)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the movie, before Finn leaves the boat, he picks a pen from a box. In the next shot he is holding his scrapbook in the same way he was holding the pen box before. (00:02:10)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Duncan tries to explain his version of the raid of the Camerons' lodge to Cora part of his uniform is a read seat-belt-like piece of cloth. This wasn't there in the scene preceding imediately. (00:47:30)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Duncan lies to Munro about the raid of the Camerons' lodge Cora's hair is totally dishevelled. Immediately after that when Duncan tries to explain it's nicely done. (00:47:40)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: During the battle over the fort the protagonists' group approaches the fort by canoe, with the women sitting in the canoe and the men guiding it wading through the water. In the shots showing Cora's face Alice is not in the canoe. (00:35:20)

NancyFelix

Factual error: During the battle over the fort the British shoot a red flare into the sky. The British army learnt of the effectiveness of rocket weapons when fighting in India in the 1790s. In 1804, rockets (developed by Colonel William Congreve) were introduced into British service. The rocket flare was developed around this time (also by Colonel Congreve). This film is set in the 1750s - the British army would not have had rocket flares (source: Taylor, J.W.R (1970). Rockets & Missiles, Hamlyn, London. PP. 6-10). (00:34:30)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: After the fight on the way to Fort Henry Duncan's temple curls disappear. (00:21:15)

NancyFelix

Other mistake: On the way to fort Henry Magua starts his attack by hitting a soldier with his axe. Before being hit the soldier smiles into the camera (seen through Magua's eyes), but doesn't even look when he is being hit, seen from the side. (00:17:10)

Continuity mistake: During the scene at General Webb's office things on the desk appear and disappear and change places, like a glass, a water bottle, a candle, etc. (00:09:30)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: At the dinner at the Camerons' lodge Mrs. Cameron's bangs change from shot to shot. (00:06:25)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When the people are marching out of the fort the same shot of Madeleine Stowe looking back over her shoulder, with a characteristically tattooed man in the background, is repeated 10 seconds later. (01:05:40)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When the canoes go down the cataracts the waterfall where they are actually shown going down in close-up is a much smaller one than the one shown in the panorama shot before. (01:15:40)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: After Carol gets beaten up Bobby carries her back home. Her shirt is pulled out of her skirt and you see her skin. Later, when Ted fixes her arm she is wearing an undershirt fully tucked in. (01:13:15)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: After Carol gets beaten up she sits with her back against a trunk. In different shots her hair and ribbons are arranged differently. (01:08:45)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Carol gets beaten up at the river, her book falls into the water and closes. A few seconds later it is shown floating open. (01:08:35)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: In the rape scene you see in the mirror Bobby's mother being thrown on the bed twice, the second time not as far as the first time. (01:08:00)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Bobby comes to say good-bye to Carol her silhouette is seen through a bedsheet. She takes a piece of cloth from the basket, lifts it a little but drops her arms when Bobby comes closer. In the next, close-up shot she is looking at Bobby with her empty hands up in the air. Besides, the clotheslines look way too high for her. (01:26:15)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: In the scene when Ted fixes Carol's arm there is a cone-shaped lamp behind Bobby. In the next shot the lamp is gone. (01:11:55)
