| Comment | The imdb trivia page is an absolute belter.
While filming in the Scottish Highlands, the production's medical team were kept busy in the afternoons. After a liquid lunch, many of the local Scottish extras got a bit too enthusiastic during the clan battles, with many minor injuries resulting.
Director Russell Mulcahy said that filming the stag "was a nightmare". Because at the time of filming, all stags had lost their horns, it was decided to glue on antlers. A veterinarian put the animal to sleep, the horns were glued on and then, they had to wait for it to awaken; once it did, all the deer wanted to do was shake off the antlers. During filming, the stag ran away and never came back. It was found later, twenty-five miles away and without the horns. Some of the stag scene (standing in water) is National Geographic stock footage
