    • Goofs
      When Strang is fighting Power on the beach he is using a wooden boat hook (with only a metal hook on the end). When the shaft of the boat hook and the sword clash they make the sound of metal on metal.
    • Quotes

      Strang: [in italian] I pity those who have not looked upon your face. How barren their dreams must be.

      Anne Kennedy: That's beautiful. What does it mean?

      Strang: What?

      Anne Kennedy: ...What does it mean?

      Strang: oh... well... it's an old Italian proverb

      Anne Kennedy: Yes, but what does it mean?

      Strang: well, well... it means... well it actually means "Landlord, bring me another bowl of your finest pickled eggs"

    • Alternate versions
      The UK release was cut, cuts required to sight of 2 men hanging by necks in execution scene, on grounds of potentially harmful imitable technique, category standards and Video Recordings Act 1984, in order to obtain a 12 classification. An uncut classification was not available.

    A Delightful Movie.

    The fact that this story is based on actual events is very interesting indeed. Just remember, the premise is based on actual events of history, not the story. Whether or not this story is true matters not. The whole adventure is worth watching if you're a romantic or you enjoy a good old love story.

    The idea that this could have been happening in those times is very believable. I never knew about this as being an actual occurrence until I saw the movie. What an education!

    This is a great yarn if you make some allowances, so, if you don't take your history too serious, watch this movie.
