History YMMV / QuestForCamelot

** Arthur being a minor character in his own legend? It has been done, in one of the major Arthurian texts no less: ''Literature/SirGawainAndTheGreenKnight.'' Likewise, the comic strip ''ComicStrip/PrinceValiant'' has Arthur in perhaps half of the strip's story arcs or less. It is also relatively common in both medieval texts and modern Arthurian tales which instead focuse on one of the knights, on merlin, or on Morgan le Fay.

** Ruber's "Song". Despite the fact that it barely even qualifies as a song, Creator/GaryOldman's [[ChewingTheScenery scene-chomping performance]] and extremely over the top gestures make it gut bustingly funny to watch. Plus, it fits Ruber's loony personality.

* GeniusBonus: As far, far, FAR different as the film is from the original novel that inspired it (pretty much the only things that stayed was the Arthurian setting and the fact it has a female lead who goes on a quest to serve King Arthur), one thing did stick. Garret is inspired by a character from ''The King's Damosel'' named Lucius, who is also blind and falls in love with Lynette (the main character of the novel). However, unlike Garett, Lucius's blindness is caused by a lifetime of living in a cave and not going out. Unfortunately, when it's revealed that he's dying, Lynette goes on a quest to obtain the Holy Grail. However, instead of wishing for health, Lucius wishes for sight so he can see Lynette before he dies. In the film, something similar does happen. After Garett is wounded, Kayley takes him to a cave to recover. It's then he reveals that he's fallen in love with Kayley. A bit StrangledByTheRedString...but it's nice to see a shoutout to the original book.

** Balki from ''Series/PerfectStrangers'' as a gryphon. Creator/JaleelWhite as the comedic axe-chicken, Bladebeak. (Well, OK, that sort of makes sense.) But most especially, as the two-headed dragon Devon and Cornwall: Creator/DonRickles and Creator/EricIdle. Though at least Devon and Cornwall's casting could be defended, since both actors were comedians and the characters are supposed to be humorously mismatched.

* TheProblemWithLicensedGames: The Game Boy Color adaptation is utter dreck from beginning to end. Whereas the movie tried way too hard to copy Disney, this game tried way too hard to copy ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'' (specifically, ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaLinksAwakening Link's Awakening]]''), but with none of the charm. The hit detection is clunky, level design is very linear compared to Zelda, the save system is poorly handled, and the music is absolutely horrible. The worst part is the combination of poor enemy placement and lack of invincibility frames, which can result in cheap deaths. Somehow, this game got a re-release for UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch Online’s Game Boy service in 2023 over licensed games with more potential that are on the [[SugarWiki/NoProblemWithLicensedGames opposite side]] of the spectrum.

** Devon and Cornwall's song "If I Didn't Have You" was about how they'd be better off without the other. Years later, [[WesternAnimation/MonstersInc a certain movie]] would have a song with the same name, only it would be be about [[HeterosexualLifePartners how much the two characters singing value their friendship]].

** Kayley tending to Garrett's wounds earlier in the film by placing leaves over it as he rests, which cures him in a couple of seconds. Although Garret mentions briefly beforehand that those leaves had healing properties, he didn't hinted that they were ''that'' powerful.
*** The leaves also ''repair his clothes''. The leaves must have really incredible healing possibilities. [[FridgeLogic Too bad they are never used on Garrett's eyes.]]
