Revealing mistakes: Plywood planking visible on ground when Ash falls from the sky.
Continuity: Length of Ash's hair as he searches the forest for the book.
Crew or equipment visible: During the final battle a man in a T-shirt and modern shoes charges in with Henry's army. (This has been identified as director Sam Raimi.)
Continuity: Ash is momentarily dry after falling in the puddle before entering the windmill.
Continuity: In the pit, the chain is moving at a different speed than the spikes.
Continuity: Ash's hair when talking to Lord Arthur about returning to his own time.
Continuity: The sun is rising when the reinforcements arrive, but soon after it is dark again.
Incorrectly regarded as goofs: A hand wearing a gauntlet (not a white glove) holds the reins of Ash's horse as he rides off near the end.
Continuity: Both armies come together twice to congratulate each other.
Incorrectly regarded as goofs: After Ash climbs out of the pit we see that the holster for his shotgun is empty. Then moments later Ash uses the shotgun to shoot Arthur's sword. But it's quite likely his rescuers retrieved the shotgun separately.
Revealing mistakes: When Ash's car falls out of the sky, you can see the chains they used to suspend the car from a crane.
Revealing mistakes: When the book of the dead is attacking Ash in the Graveyard scene, you can see that it is a 3-ring binder. Look for it when the book is attacking his neck, not while flying.
Anachronisms: Skeletons wearing helmets used in the American Civil War and in World War I.
Continuity: Ash has his face cooked to the stove top so bad that he has to use a spatula to remove his face. After he does there are no marks or burns on his face.
Factual errors: Pouring boiling hot water down his throat, when Ash gets a Tiny Ash in his stomach, would do a lot of damage. However, we see no other reaction to this, other than temporary discomfort and then laughter.
Anachronisms: The pneumatics and engineering expertise needed to make his mechanical hand were not available then. A blacksmith's tools would have been too clumsy and large.
Errors in geography: There are no deserts in England.
Continuity: After the witch falls to the ground, Arthur kneels and reaches toward it. His hand is just about to touch its shoulder. When the shot changes, Arthur's hand is further away.
Continuity: The film begins with Ash as a prisoner of the knights, but at the end of Evil Dead II (1987), Ash is hailed as a hero by the knights (and there's no indication here that he had been a hero they turned against).
Continuity: During the flashback, Ash pins his arm to the ground with his knee while cutting his hand off with a chainsaw. In Evil Dead II (1987), he stabs his hand with a knife before using the chainsaw.
Continuity: When Ash sleeps for centuries in the end, his hair and beard grow, but his fingernails don't.
