One of their first encounters in Rome leaves Hengist being mistaken for a fighter, and gets drafted into the Royal Guard to protect Cleopatra.

Goofs

Anachronisms: Early in the movie, Hengis Pod states that his mother-in-law was eaten by a dinosaur. Obviously, dinosaur died out millions of years before humans existed. Also when the Romans invaded Britain, the country was inhabited by Celts who lived in established settlements, not in caves. See more »
