| | The Adventures of Christopher Columbus / int_259d5879 |
comment |
Anachronism Stew: The pirates who attack the expedition after their departure from Spain have a Jolly Roger as figurehead. Such symbolism didn't exist in 1492, not until the early 18th century in the late Golden Age of Piracy. |

Historical Hero Upgrade |
| | The Adventures of Christopher Columbus / int_3e8d9cd3 |
comment |
Historical Hero Upgrade: Like Conquest of Paradise, Columbus is depicted as a calm, kindly explorer, and it even amps up the heroic factor. Long story short, it's the direct opposite of his aggressive, greedy and overzealous historical counterpart, who massacred or enslaved some native populations. |

King Incognito |
| | The Adventures of Christopher Columbus / int_44a1dd10 |
comment |
King Incognito: Well, "Queen Incognito". Queen Isabella of Castile secretely visits Columbus before his departure to say him goodbye, wish him to return, pray God to keep him safe and give him a golden pendant. She wears a dark cloak, stays inside her stagecoach and she's accompanied by a jester. King Ferdinand apparently wouldn't approve if she had done it officially. |

comment |
Flat World: Don Talavera is either a staunch believer in the "flat Earth" theory (pretending people on the other side of the world would live upside-down if the Earth was round) or at least doesn't want to be proven wrong. |

Artistic License – History |
| | The Adventures of Christopher Columbus / int_56515a39 |
comment |
Artistic License – History: The Real Life chief mate of Columbus was named Martín Alonso Pinzón, not Rodrigo. And he had no need for either an Eyepatch of Power or a peg leg. Rodrigo rather comes of as a stereotypical fictional pirate (minus the actual piracy) from The Golden Age of Piracy, which wouldn't start until over a century and a half after 1492. |

Politically Correct History: Columbus is portrayed as the direct opposite of his aggressive, greedy and overzealous historical behavior, and he isn't seen massacring or enslaving native populations (this being a film made for kids doesn't quite help either). |
