** A young member of LaResistance says he wanted to be named Knight Provençal, but that the name was already taken. This was Perceval in Book I, who was unable to remember his own name correctly.
** In TheStinger, [[spoiler:Méléagant wakes up from his sleep and eats snow, just as he described he did at one point in Book V]].

** Dagonet ''still'' doesn't know which lands of Britain belong to him, looking dubiously at the people who tell him he owns the Isle of Taneth.

** Perceval's incomprehensible games were a RunningGag in the series. Here we get to see one of them.

* TrickedIntoAnotherJurisdiction: Inverted. Arthur and Venec are taken captive and brought back to Kaamelott by a bounty hunter. As they cross the border into the duchy of Aquitania (which is under Kaamelott's jurisdiction), Arthur speaks up for the first time since his capture, telling the guard that he's been MadeASlave (Kaamelott outlawed slavery) and demands that the guard arrest everyone and bring them to the Duke of Aquitania for trial. The guard is indifferent to this, until Venec has the bright idea to yell out that the Duchess of Aquitania is a whore, which promptly gets everyone arrested as Arthur wanted.

But does Arthur really want to bother coming back to Kaamelott to help these morons once more and reclaim the throne? Short answer: ''HELL NO''... but circumstances force him to anyway.

Ten years have passed since Arthur Pendragon renounced the throne of Kaamelott and disappeared after handing it over to Lancelot du Lac, who has since established a reign of terror over the kingdom of Logres. The Knights of the Round Table have disbanded and formed pitiful pockets of resistance against Lancelot. Everyone wonders what happened to Arthur, from Lancelot (who wants him dead and put a bounty on his head) all the way to the oppressed smallfolk (who want him to return).

* CoveredInGunge: At the beginning, BountyHunter Alzagar is looking for Venec who, as it happens, was hiding in a barrel of dates preserved in syrup.

* SequelNonEntity: Yvain, Ygerne de Tintagel (Arthur's mother), the Master at Arms and several other recurring characters of the series are noticeably absent from the film.

* SequelNonEntity: Yvain, Angharad, Ygerne de Tintagel (Arthur's mother) the Master at Arms and several other recurring characters of the series are noticeably absent from the film.

** Dagonet ''still'' doesn't know which lands of Britain belong to him, looking dubiously at the people who tell him he owns the isle of Taneth.

* EpicFail: Kolaig's quest to become a knight. First he tries to ambush and garotte Arthur under the impression that he'd object to someone rescuing Guenièvre, then the attempt to take out the tower guards silently goes as well as expected and several of them flee to give the alarm, then he decides he absolutely has to climb the tower instead of taking the stairs, and while Arthur and co. take a long time to break down the door, by the time they get back down it turns out he ''still'' hasn't gotten anywhere, then decides he's had enough and he'll just find another quest to become a knight, then falls off the tower and isn't seen for the rest of the movie.
-->'''Angharad:''' I would like to inform madam that madam's suitor has progressed a foot or two towards the bottom.

-->'''Perceval:''' Of course he isn't dead, I've been telling you for ten years you fat salsify!

* ThickerThanWater: Mevanwi doesn't care one bit about most of the prisoners, including her ex-husband Karadoc, but she nonetheless comes down to Kaamelott to have her daughters Mehben and Mehgan freed, despite them siding with the resistants. They both refuse to follow her, however.

-->'''Perceval:''' Évidemment qu'il est pas mort, ça fait dix ans que je vous le dit, gros salsifis ! [[labelnote:Translation]]Of course he's not dead, I've been telling you this for ten years, you fat salsify![[/labelnote]]

** Léodagan is still as enamoured with large SiegeEngines as he was in the series, and clearly depressed to have been forced to give them up to Lancelot. When the Burgundians turn up at his castle along with their arsenal, he is clearly taken by it and decides to invite them to stay just to remain near their engines (which proves quite important later on when [[spoiler:Arthur figures out how to coordinate the Burgundians enough to allow them to use their weapons properly]]).

* GroinAttack: It turns out hitting an adversary in the nuts (courtesy of Guenièvre) was all that was needed for Arthur to win the stupid and incomprehensible game (called "Robobrol") the guards barring him access to ExcaliburInTheStone had him play.
* HappinessInSlavery: Arthur seems to have made no effort to escape during his time as a slave somewhere on the Red Sea coast, fleeing only once people trying to make him king again come by. His owner doesn't try to stop him either, only saying that if he decides to free one of his slaves, that's his business.

* HyperCompetentSidekick: The Saxons come off as this, by virtue of being a legit threat to anyone who's not Arthur... and for being pretty much the only people in the kingdom of Logres to actually ''get their job done'' (since morons abound there).

* ThickerThanWater: Mevanwi doesn't care one bit about most of the prisoners, including her ex-husband Karadoc, but she nonetheless comes down to the dungeon to have her daughters Mehben and Mehgan freed, despite them siding with the resistants. They both refuse to follow her, however.
