Barely escaping he soon renounced violence to atone for his past sins, seeking out redemption in a life of peace. That is until the followers of priest turned sorcerer Malachi kidnap a Puritan girl Meredith Crowthorn and brutally slaughter her family before his very own eyes (including butchering her beloved younger brother Edward who Solomon had befriended)! Forcing Solomon to take up arms and return to his violent ways once more to rescue her! In doing so means returning to his birthplace and facing his older brother Marcus who (in his youth) he accidentally left disfigured (and for dead), who now serves as merciless enforcer to Malachi. |

DATE: In the film, ships are shown flying the British Union Jack flag with the caption "North Africa: 1600". However, the first variant of the Union Jack wasn't used until 1606, with the current version of the flag not seen until 1801. Revealing mistakes: Much of this movie takes place in pouring rain but the trickle of blood on Kane's hand, after he survives being crucified, is totally undisturbed by the incessant downpour. Continuity: In the scene where Solomon is talking to his men in the cave before they go off to attack Malachi's castle, the cross which had been scarred onto his back is missing. FAIR: At the beginning of the film, Kane is shown having retired to a monastery. While a large number of English monasteries, priories, convents and friaries were disbanded and destroyed under the orders of Henry VIII during the mid-16th century, this dissolution was not total and many survived. Additionally, Elizabeth I, during whose reign the movie is set, was the 3rd successor to Henry VIII and a number of the dissolved monasteries had been rebuilt both before and during her reign. DATE: The ship shown crossing in front of the burning city in the beginning of the film belongs to a type who appeared much later. The plain bow design, the lack of square sprit-sail, the jibs and the aft marconi sail are features typical of a nineteen century or later ship. Fact errors: In the opening ship scene a foremast sail is seen bulging from an upwind. However the rear flag is blowing in the opposite direction. |

Meredith Crowthorn: Captain Kane. Solomon Kane: Miss Meredith; how can I be of service? Meredith Crowthorn: I made some clothes for you as your others were so torn. Solomon Kane: I shall wear them with pride. Malachi: Why do you care for her? You came here to save your soul. Solomon Kane: She IS my soul. Meredith Crowthorn: How... What are they? Solomon Kane: These? They are the story of my life. See? Some of my own making; these marks and symbols here. Meredith Crowthorn: What do they mean? Solomon Kane: They are for... protection. Others, here, are wounds. Meredith Crowthorn: How were you hurt? Solomon Kane: I've been shot, stabbed and beaten more times than I can recall. These here, was a spear thrust by a tribesman of Africa. Meredith Crowthorn: Africa? You were at sea? Solomon Kane: I was a captain. Solomon Kane: I was never more at home than I was at battle. Solomon Kane: If I kill you, I am bound for hell. It is a price I shall gladly pay. Solomon Kane: There are many paths to redemption, not all of them peaceful. Solomon Kane: I'm a man of peace now. |
