Audio problem: While Troy burns, when the horse gallops down the corridor, as Briseis runs she shouts, "Paris!" and though her mouth continues to shout what looks like "Andromache!" no sound is heard. (02:23:20)

Continuity mistake: After Odysseus, Achilles and the other Greeks climb out of the 'Trojan' horse, Odysseus and others head for the front gate. In the first wide shot of the front gate there are Trojan guards asleep on both sides. In the following close-up of these guards, their positions and the positions of things around them differ most significantly, like for example the fire pit at the feet of the guards on the right moves at least five feet, and then when the Greeks kill them the fire pit moves again. (02:19:20)

Continuity mistake: When Ajax fights the Trojans and then Hector, after the death of Menelaus, their positions and the positions of people standing and lying around them, change back and forth in many consecutive shots. During the Hector and Patroclus duel, the Hector and Achilles duel, and the other battles, the positions of duelers, soldiers - as onlookers, fighting or lying on the ground, change drastically between shots throughout the film. (01:19:10)

Super Grover ★

Continuity mistake: When Menelaus and Paris duel, in some shots there is a thick black chinstrap attached to Menelaus' helmet, which is perfectly visible at his ears, cheeks and under his chin, as the flaps of his helmet move about, yet in the rest of the shots the chinstrap is gone. (It is not a shadow.) (01:14:10)

Trivia: To celebrate the film's anniversary and release on DVD, there was a special screening of the film, at which Dick Van Dyke shared a humorous personal memory. On his way to the original premiere of the film, Dick Van Dyke's limousine ran out of gas not too far from the theater, so Dick himself got out and pushed the car to the red carpet.

Audio problem: When the Myrmidons arrive on Troy's shore, as the Trojans let loose fiery arrows Eudorus shouts to the men, "……Forward!", but his mouth clearly says something entirely different. (00:39:55)

Super Grover ★

Audio problem: After the Trojans start to fire arrows at the ship, the second Myrmidon who falls overboard into the water, screams loudly as he falls, though his mouth is clenched shut. It is the type of yell that cannot be made with a closed mouth. (00:40:00)

Super Grover ★

Revealing mistake: After they arrive on Troy’s shore, a particular Myrmidon is hit and falls overboard into the water. After a few shots another Myrmidon is hit with two arrows and he too promptly falls overboard into the water, and then loses his wig in the water (after the helmet). (00:39:55)

Super Grover ★

Revealing mistake: At the start of the shot facing Patroclus (dressed as Achilles), as Hector's blade is up against his throat, then slices it, the ridged bottom of the fake latex throat that Garrett Hedlund (Patroclus) wears is visible, when he arches his head back. (01:43:25)

Super Grover ★

Deliberate mistake: During the Trojan attack on the Greeks at the beach, before Hector and "Achilles" have at it, there are two separate close-ups of Hector's sword slicing across a man's face, who promptly spins around and spews blood. This particular man is enjoyed twice in two takes of the same shot, just before and after Odysseus' close-ups. Then as if that's not enough, a few shots later this spewing man is actually seen a third time, but this time from another angle. (01:42:30)

Revealing mistake: After Hector pulls his sword from his shield, Achilles spins around and pulls his own from the underside of his shield. The sword is unsecured above his hand, not where it should have been, below his left hand on the handle of the shield, which was obviously done deliberately to ready the sword for the shot. (01:59:25)

Super Grover ★

Revealing mistake: Just after Achilles slices Hector's spear, Achilles spins his shield then positions himself behind it. In the next shot facing Achilles, as he starts to walk toward Hector, he does not hold the usual handle on the underside of his shield, instead he holds a small solid handle (used for spinning shield) which is beside the normal handle. Also notice the hilt of the sword is the wrong direction near his elbow, whereas in the following shot when he holds the normal shield handle, the hilt of the sword is properly positioned. (01:59:20)

Super Grover ★

Revealing mistake: Hector's sword is secured to the underside, from hilt to point, entirely under the shield, perpendicular to the handle he always holds. While Achilles and Hector duel, Hector snaps Achilles' spear with his leg. At the start of the next shot, Hector holds the grip of his sword and pulls it from the shield, above and parallel to the handle, not from where it should have been, obviously deliberately done to ready the sword for the shot. (01:59:25)

Continuity mistake: After Priam kisses and welcomes Helen to Troy, they all walk inside. In the next wide shot, when Andromache (Hector's wife) steps forward to greet Hector, there is nobody to her left in front of the large column. However, in the next close-up there are two people who stand beside her, directly in front of that column. (00:29:30)

Super Grover ★

Continuity mistake: When Priam, Paris, Glaucus, et al, arrive at the beach to see the Greek's 'Trojan' horse, the men who lie dead all over the sand change position. Particularly, in the first shot as it pans towards the horse, the two dead men in red lie on the sand in front of Priam a good distance away from the horse. In the next two close-ups of these men (the same two bodies), their positions are completely different. Then in the next wide shot, those two bodies are much closer to the huge 'Trojan' horse now. (02:16:00)

Super Grover ★

Continuity mistake: After the Trojan rider finds the hidden Greek fleet, he is hit with three arrows in his torso. In the close-up there are two arrows above and one just below them, but in the wide shot the three arrows are aligned in a straight row. (02:18:35)

Super Grover ★

Revealing mistake: When Priam kisses Hector's face as the body lies on the pyre, the right side of Hector's face is visible and among the wounds that it sustained while being dragged, the cut under his right eye, which he had while still alive, is conspicuously missing. When the body is viewed from his left, as the flames flicker, the cut above the corner of his left eyebrow, which he also had while still alive, has gone astray as well. (02:14:50)

Super Grover ★

Continuity mistake: When the Trojan rider finds the Greek fleet that are hidden below, in the wide shots this rider has very long curly black hair and his helmet has its decorative hair formed into a thin long twist as it hangs down from the top of the helmet. However, in the close-ups of the rider, he has very short brown hair and all the helmet's decorative hair hangs down thick and loose. (02:18:20)

Audio problem: After Achilles says, "No Greek will attack Troy for twelve days," Priam sees Briseis and his lips move but nothing is heard, then when we hear him say, "Briseis?" his mouth does not move. (02:10:20)

Super Grover ★

Continuity mistake: When Priam goes to Achilles to beg for Hector's body, he removes his hood as he steps into the tent. In all of the following shots the hood lies multiple ways upon his shoulder. (02:05:10)
