* PullingTheRugOut: PlayedForLaughs. When a man challenges Valiant to a fight, Valiant asks if there are any rules. The man says no, and Valiant immediately tries to pull the rug out from under him, but the man is apparently ''really'' heavy as Valiant isn't strong enough to take him off his feet.

!!This film features examples of:
* CombatPragmatist: Valiant may be a noble knight and prince, but this version doesn't shy away from fighting dirty and uses improvised weapons. When a man challenges him to a fight in a bar, Valiant asks if there are any rules. The man says no, and Valiant immediately tries to pull the rug out from under him, though the tactic fails because the man is too heavy.
* CoolSword: Excalibur makes an appereance here, and it certainly proves how cool it is.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Morgan le Fay tries to blow sleep dust into Princess Ilene, but Ilene sneezes, which blows the dust back at Morgan. She gets drowsy and falls to her death. Later, Ilene knocks a mook who was wielding a primitive flamethrower into a vat of oil, with predictable results.
* MagicMirror: As any self-respecting evil sorceress would, Morgan has a magic mirror that she consults here.
* PropheticFallacy: After the bad guys steal Excalibur, the sword embeds itself into the floor of their base. Morgan le Fay orders her MagicMirror to show them a person worthy of pulling the sword out besides King Arthur. It shows what appears to be Sir Gawain, so they try to kidnap him and force him to pull it out. Actually, the mirror had shown Prince Valiant in Sir Gawain's armor.
