In the scene where William is in the stocks and Prince Edward is going up to talk to him, watch the man with Edward on his left, viewer's right. He proceeds to pull a sword from under his cloak. They switch to William being freed from the stocks and then back to Edward, watch the man on his left as he once again pulls the sword from under his cloak. Where did the first sword go?
I noticed this too...It appears that he pulls the SAME sword out...they are all in the crowd and then the prince comes out and the guys follow him, and the one pulls out his sword, then it shows William again, then it goes back to the crowd and it APPEARS that he pulls out the same sword from the same sheath...
I rewatched the movie to see a few of these slipups (or lack thereof). For this particular one, the original poster is correct. When the Prince lowers his hood & removes his cloak, the two men beside him also lower their hoods & open their cloaks. The one on the right of the screen draws his sword (it appears the one on the screen left is fumbling as if having trouble with his cloak or sword). The camera then shifts to Chaucer staring in surprise as the crowd quiets. Then it cuts back to the Prince as he steps forward and the man to the right of the screen is seen once again drawing his sword. And, for clarification, when the Prince goes to knight William, he draws his own sword...no one hands it to him.
