Continuity mistake: When Sonja and the Queen fight in the candles' room, the ones on the right are thick, and the Queen cuts several of them with her sword. When the Prince enters, not only are the candles fixed and standing up, but they are all thin.

Revealing mistake: The giant statue by the entrance of the fighting arena just casts a shadow of the legs, which cuts off under the knee. More noticeable in the close-up shots, revealing the rest of the body was a composite shot.

Deliberate mistake: When Kalidor beheads a warrior and when Sonja beheads the wizard, both heads don't fall sideways as they should, but instead fly upwards, revealing they were tossed by someone offscreen - which looks more impressive, indeed.

Continuity mistake: When Sonja and the queen fight, Kalidor tries to lift the iron gate. He grabs a bar two rows to the right of where his head is. Shot changes, and he's grabbing the bar one row to the right of his head. (01:18:33)

Red Sonja (1985)
Continuity mistake: When Sonja is fighting against the queen, she holds her sword with both hands. Then suddenly with her left hand. Right after, the wizard makes her left arm bleed and she covers the wound with her right hand, but a shot later she doesn't. All this takes place from shot to shot in a matter of frames.
