• Movie Goof (anachronisms): In the scene where Smith and the small party set off up river to find the "king", there are three wooden channel markers visible in the background. The size and shape indicate the markers were not placed there by the Native Americans of the 1600s.
• Native American cast members had to learn the Algonquin language. 3000 people speak this language today, many of whom were hired by producers to teach cast members.
• Movie Goof (factual errors): Pohcahantas is shown being kidnapped by the settlers when Smith is still in Jamestown. In reality, Smith had to leave from a gunpowder injury in 1609. Pohcahanas was kidnapped in 1613.
• Movie Goof (factual errors): SPOILER: Edward Wingfield was shot and killed in the film, while in reality he lived to the age of 81 and died of natural causes in 1631.
