Movie Trivia

The Story was Based on A Historical Incident Involving the Kidnapping of Ion Perdicaris, an American Expatriate Living in Tangier, Changed to A Woman for the Movie. However, the Two Children, the American Attack on the Bashaw’s Palace in Tangier, and the Climactic Battle between the American and German Forces, were All Inventions of Writer and Director John Milius.

After Receiving A List of BBFC Requests to Remove Horse Falls, Writer and Director John Milius Withdrew this Movie from Intended UK Video Release in 1990, and Claimed that No Animal Cruelty had Taken Place. His Claim was Supported by Stuntman Terry Leonard, Who Threatened to Sue the BBC for Besmirching his Professional Reputation.

In the Final Battle, the German Officer Discards his Gun, and Fights the Raisuli with Swords. In Return, the Raisuli Rewards the Officer with A Scar, A Sign of Courage in Upper Class Germans and Austrians. In the Dueling Society, the Victor was Seen as the Person Who could Walk Away from the Duel with an Obvious Scar. It was Important to Show One’s Dueling Prowess, but Also that One was Capable of Taking the Wound that was Inflicted. Courage was Shown by Being Able to Stand and Take the Blow as Opposed to Inflicting the Scar. Facial Scars were Most Desired.

Twentyu US Marines were Used in the Making of this Movie, as were Several Special Forces Troops from the Spanish Army. The Military Scenes are Used as Training Films for the US.

According to Nadia Sawalha, Nadim Sawalha Tried to Coach Sir Sean Connery to Do an Arabic Accent, but Gave Up after Three Days.

Sir Sean Connery was So Impressed with Writer and Director John Milius that he Requested his Services as A Script Doctor for The Hunt for Red October (1990).

President Theodore Roosevelt is Presented with A Birthday Cake with A Map of the Western Hemisphere on the Icing. As he Cuts across the Cake, he Hesitates before Cutting into the “Land” Portion of the Icing. His Cut goes Not across Panama, but across Nicaragua. A Plan for A Sea Level Canal through Nicaragua was the Rival Plan in the 1880’s and 1890’s to that for Panama, and was Given Up Only Once it was Rendered Redundant by the American Take Over of the French Panama Canal Project in 1904.

The Final Battle took Two Weeks to Film. Real Dynamite was Used. Four American Stunt Men did All of the Horse Falls.

Captain Jerome, Steve Kanaly, was Based on the Real Life Marine Major John Twiggs Myers, Who Commanded the Marines in Tangier during the Pedicaris Incident. Myers’ Exploits in China were Also Portrayed on Film, in 55 Days at Peking, 1963, where the Character Played by Charlton Heston was Also Based on Myers. Myers Retired from the Marine Corps with the Rank of Lieutenant General.
