During the chase scene where the church people were chasing the rebels, the horse that fell of the bridge was killed.
Agnes's dress catching fire during the escape and Gabriel rushing to put it out was unintentional.
The scene where Gabriel is thrown into the river was practiced with a dummy. When actual shooting started, Aleksandr Goloborodko agreed to be thrown into the water instead of the dummy.
To repay the actor's effort, a bottle of vodka was placed on the other side of the river, where Goloborodko was supposed to climb out. Rumor has it that after seeing that his cold swim was awarded with a bottle of vodka, Goloborodko told the director that the scene had not come out as planned and he has to do it again. Director Kromanov, who understood the real reason, why Goloborodko wanted to film the scene again, refused.
Katrin Karisma's debut.
