“Braveheart” Goofs List
- Audio/visual unsynchronized: A man is playing the Highland Pipes at William’s father’s funeral, but they sound like Uillean Pipes. This was a deliberate artistic decision because “they sounded better”.
- Continuity: William’s sword after he flees town to meet Murron.
- Continuity: Campbell’s arrow wound disappears during Murron’s funeral.
- Continuity: In the battle of Stirling a Scot is shot in the foot with an arrow. He screams and we assume that he has been defeated. During the next English archer attack the same Scotsman is shot again in the same place and yells the same way as before.
- Continuity: At Murron’s funeral, her father’s hood is on his head in one shot. In the next shot, from another angle, his hood is on his shoulder, then on his head again.
- Continuity: At the battle of Stirling, a few seconds before the Scots raise their spears against the attacking cavalry, we see a brief cut where the spears are already raised.
- Crew or equipment visible: In one of the fight scenes, an English soldier is hit with a club and blood splatters on the camera for a brief moment
- Continuity: Just before the Battle of Stirling, when Wallace rides up to intimidate the negotiating English commander, we can see the entire English army lined up behind up. In the next scene however, when we see just Wallace and the Englishman, the entire English army behind him has disappeared, except for a line of cavalrymen. This repeats itself.
- Continuity: In the first battle scene, there is no army behind the charging cavalry.
- Continuity: Just after the Battle of Falkirk when Wallace and the Bruce charge towards one another, the eye slots of the Bruce’s helmet change shape – from when he is charging Wallace and then when he dismounts.
- Audio/visual unsynchronized: When Wallace moves toward the structure to avenge the death of Murron a guard points and says, “there”. His lips are not moving when this happens
- Continuity: During the battle at York, Hamish’s father can be seen briefly at the battering ram. In the next shot, he’s beside Wallace on a hill.
- Continuity: As Wallace approaches the fortress on horseback to avenge the death of his wife the camera shows his hand behind his head underneath his hair grasping the weapon he uses to hit the guard. As the angle changes his hand appears outside his hair and then underneath again as he pulls the weapon.
- Revealing mistakes: During the Battle of Stirling’s mooning scene, you can clearly see blood flowing from a soldier’s behind before he is hit with the arrow.
- Revealing mistakes: MacGregor is shown standing in the background at Murron’s funeral, but he doesn’t arrive in Wallace’s town until the next scene.
- Revealing mistakes: When the camera is focused on the crowd during the disemboweling scene, a female extra in the crowd glances at the camera a few times.
- Continuity: When we first see Edinburgh, where Robert the Bruce welcomes the council of nobles, a stable boy in a red tunic is standing behind Bruce, Mornay, and Craig. The scene takes place in 1296. When Wallace is captured in 1305, we see the same boy in the same tunic, and he hasn’t aged.
- Revealing mistakes: During the fight to avenge his wife’s death, William throws his sword at an Englishman. As he falls down, a “Hold-Back-Wire” is seen on the ground behind him.

- Continuity: The door to the jail cell where Wallace is held prisoner.
- Revealing mistakes: In the final scene, Hamish’s battle axe blade can be seen flapping.
- Continuity: William Wallace is seen running into battle with his sword drawn. It then cuts to the king overseeing the battle, then cuts back to Wallace charging with no sword in hand. The movie cuts to another scene again, and upon returning to Wallace charging into battle he once again has his sword. Also, at one point he is brandishing an axe.
- Revealing mistakes: During the battle of Stirling, the men fighting behind Wallace’s shoulders are clearly not fighting, but are looking at each other for the next move.

- Anachronisms: In the battle scenes there are obvious wrist watches and running shoes in the background.

- Revealing mistakes: During the battle at Falkirk, a string can be seen attached to the end of the arrow that goes into Morrison.
