Trivia
At the end, Chaucer says, "I think I'll write this down." In real life, "The Knight's Tale" is the first chapter in Geoffrey Chaucer's "The Canterbury Tales."
Quotes
William:
Should we help him?
Goofs
As William is testing his new armor for the first time, he gets a beam thrown to his chest. In this stunt a stand-in is used. You can see the color of his hair change from blond to brown.
Crazy Credits
After the credits finish, Roland, Wat, Kate, and Geoffrey Chaucer have a flatulence contest/drinking game. Wat loses, but Kate is the obvious winner.
Alternate Versions
There is a slight difference between the UK cinema version and the UK DVD release. In the cinematic release, the queen/Robbie Williams version of We Are The Champions starts playing when William and Jocelyn kiss just before the credits, whereas the DVD release has a different song play. However, We Are The Champions still plays over the last half of the credits.
