* MisaimedFandom: As mentioned above, mainly due to Montagu Love's great presence and lines, his EvilGloating was sincerely embraced by Hispanics that miss their culture's ancient splendor.
* ValuesDissonance: At one point, the film suffers from a bit of a disconnect due to the passage of time. Geoffrey Thorpe is a handsome and charming swashbuckler, but when he's in front of UsefulNotes/TheSpanishInquisition he boasts of pillaging Spanish towns, proudly confessing to doing more of it than he's being charged with. In the 1930s this made him a badass to kids watching the movie; today, it sounds like he's writing his own indictment to go before the ICC and one can hardly blame the Spanish judge for throwing the book at him and the Spanish government for demanding that the English government pull the plug on their privateers as a result.
** This might have even felt a hair uncomfortable about a decade later, if anybody was watching it in the aftermath of World War Two and all that accompanied it. Given what was likely involved with some of the aforementioned pillaging, that hearing would've been perhaps a bit too similar to other hearings which were being held in Germany in the late 1940s.

Paradoxically for a wartime film that employed the Spanish Empire to represent Nazi Germany, the metaphor can easily switch to the other side due to the late imagery of the real life conflict.

* AluminumChristmasTrees: Philip's speech about how the entire world "will be Spain" makes a seldom seen reference (likely a case of AccidentallyCorrectWriting given the medium) to how the Habsburg Spanish Empire wasn't a truly colonial empire, in the sense that all of its lands were administrated as an extension of Spain and not as lands merely subjected to Spain. Most importantly, it might be surprising to know that the mentioned conquest of China was actually proposed during Philip's reign, with the most complete plan being a Spanish-Portuguese invason with the help of Konishi Yukinaga and hopefully local Chinese allies - and that it was exactly the failure of the Spanish Armada what led Philip to cancel the Chinese affair for considering it unnecesary and too risky.
