While it's not as iconic as that of ''[[Film/BenHur1959 Ben-Hur]]'', the soundtrack of ''El Cid'' could give it a run for its money in the bombast department.

* WhatAnIdiot: Rodrigo not even trying to meet Alfonso and Urraca half way when it comes to their conflict with Sancho. Many viewers can be left wondering if it would've killed him to at least ''try'' to talk to Sancho, dissuade him from beating up on his younger siblings, spare Spain from Civil War and all that, and thinking that even if he ultimately chose not to fight for either sibling he could at least try mediating.

** While the idea of Moors and Christians cooperating out of nationalistic fervor is rather overdone to say the least, alliances between Christian and Muslim kingdoms were hardly uncommon during the Spanish Middle Ages, and a charismatic warlord like El Cid could well attract followers from both sides. Furthermore it was also not unknown for Moorish warriors to regard North Africans as interlopers and take the side of Christian princes for that reason. The film makes it LighterAndSofter but it is not completely without foundation.
** Almoravid warriors were known historically for wearing face veils, even in non-desert environments where one would think them unnecessary. Contemporary Arabic writers even referred to them as ''al-mulathimum'', or "Veiled Ones."
