Goofs

Near the end of the film, during the nighttime attack on Karram Khan's camp by King and his troops, the explosions that destroy the rebel arsenal were apparently more violent than was expected, as the "corpse" of a rebel killed in the fighting near the arsenal jumps up and runs off camera.

Captain King's pocket watch contains photographic images of his parents (~12:00) which must predate their stated 1833 date of death. The earliest known photograph of a person by Daguerre is from 1838 and were all exposed onto metallic silver plates.
