Line from Bruce’s “Return of the King”, which is about Arthur.

Clue #8: Post-alchemical legends.
Reference to “Isle of Avalon”, which deals with the mystical land Arthur is said to have gone to after death.

“The Ocean” is a Led Zeppelin song in which the titular body of water is actually their fans at a concert.

Clue #13: A Frenchman, eh? Well it can’t be Hercule Poirot, he’s Belgian!
First Knight was based on Chrétien de Troyes’s works. He was French. Hercule Poirot was a red herring.

Melwas is another name for Malagant. Also he dies in the film.
