Anecdotes
To check who is French and who is Flemish, people were asked to say the phrase "schild en vriend". That way, the Flemish knew only to kill those who pronounce the phrase with a French accent. This doesn't really work in the film though, seen as the French people in the movie speak Dutch with perfectly normal Flemish or Dutch accents.

Gaffes
The eyes of a dead French knight follow the pitbull in front of him.

Versions alternatives
The restored and DVD version is slightly different than the earlier cinema and TV versions: The close shot in which Robrecht van Bethune decapitates De Chatillon with his sword, has been cut down with a couple of frames in the restored and DVD version. In the earlier releases you could clearly see that it was a dummy head being chopped off.

What a surprise

I was so well surprised by this obscure film from Netherlands and taking place in the Middle Age. It is a medieval tale so gritty, accurate, bloody and not to be watched by kids in matinees. I have rarely seen a so realistic medieval tale, except of course Paul Verhoeven's FLESH AND BLOOD, and maybe a couple of others, all recent films. But in the eighties, there was not many of them. Very few indeed. It looks like a Mel Gibson's feature, bloody, and the most accurate.
