• In the movie
King Ralph, Ralph used the act as his justification in ordering the arrest of Lord Graves (
John Hurt) on the grounds that Graves had interfered with Ralph's succession to the throne. After silently going through the
Mnemonic Verse, he mentioned it was passed by
William III, when in fact it was passed in the first year of
Queen Anne's reign. • In the movie
Johnny English, the villain Pascal Sauvage (
John Malkovich) is tried for treason under this Act when his plot to seize the throne is foiled, and the audience is told that the crime still carries a penalty of death by hanging. However, as the film was released in 2003 (the penalty was downgraded to life imprisonment in 1998), it renders the imposition of the death penalty inaccurate. == Repeals ==
