1. In the beginning right after escaping the prison, we see a small row boat from behind with some men in it. Then we see a close up from the front to see Robin standing in the front of the boat. But when reviewing the previous shot, the one from behind, I don't see Robin standing up, or anywhere for that matter.

2. Will Scarlet in the scene where he is about to throw a dagger at Robin Hood, takes his dagger out and holds it in his left hand. Then, in the next shot, his dagger is back in its sheath because his hands are empty and seconds later we see him take it out again.

3. When Robin flips out of a tree after stealing a rich mans money bag ("The sheriff will hear of this!" scene), the person who flips out lands with a hood ending up covering his head. The thing that looks odd is that the hood is purple and I don't remember seeing a hood like it on Keven Costner.

4. To stop the beheading of Will Scarlet, Robin Hood pulls an arrow from a dead guy and shoots it; the nit here, is that this arrow is one of the Flaming arrows and it was just shot at a cart full of gunpowder. So what was it doing in the body of man? It would of burned up after hitting the cart. No way it could bounce off and end up in the body of a guard.

Aside from Costner's lack of an English accent, the biggest problem I had with this movie is the idea of gun-powder introduced about 400 years too early to Western Europe. Talk about changing the time-line!

The additional footage in the Special Collectors Edition 2-Disk DVD set really changes the mood of the movie.

The additional scenes change the relationship of the Witch, the Barons, and the whole atmosphere of who is the villian.

As to the scene involving Robin's departure from Jerusalem: we see the row boat in the background but I don't recall seeing a ship anywhere out in the water. did I miss something or are we to believe that he rowed his way from the middle east to England? If there was a ship where did Robin get the resources? the was freshly escaped from prison in a hostile country and when he gets back to England it is reviled that his family fortune is gone so where did Robin get the contacts and money to get back to England in the first place?

Crusaders didn't usually travel back to England by sea. King Richard did travel out to Jerusalem by ship - he chartered a large fleet of galleys to fight, and sailing ships to carry the troops.
The return journey however was usually mostly by land - Crusaders typically took a ship to Italy and then travelled overland to get home.

Getting home probably was the easiest part of a crusade for many men. Various holy orders were formed to help support the Knights, and many of the Western ships were owned or chartered by the Knightly orders - who would have no problems giving a departing Knight a lift back to Italy. It is also likely that Robin - as a Knight - would know other Knights who he could ask for help. Most Knights would be quite happy to help out fellow Knights in trouble, and Chivalry would probably require that they do so.

the biggest problem I had with this movie is the idea of gun-powder introduced about 400 years too early to Western Europe.

To nit-pick; Richard Ist lived in the mid to late 12th century. The first use of cannons known in Europe was in the 14th century. So it would be some 200-150 years too early for gunpowder weapons. Not 400.

Thanks for the info on how the crusaders operated. too bad the film didn't include a few lines of dialog to support this.

Robin Hood and Will Scarlett have American accents.

Accents from a country that won't exist for another 600 years.

Hence Carey Elwes' Robin Hood saying, "Unlike some Robin Hoods, I can speak with an English accent", in Men in Tights.

Yeah, I got that joke too.

Costner's Robin Hood was more like a Vietnam veteran than a returned Crusader, IMO.
