Trivia
For the large battle scenes actual Romanian soldiers were used as extras, for both the Romanian and Ottoman (Turkish) armies. During some scenes they took the fight a bit too serious. This augmented the realistic look of those scenes, but as the weapons were made of wood, not rubber, some of the extras got a few bruises from the experience.

Goofs
In the closing scene King Mircea is standing on a dam made of large rocks (a common type of dam in Romania since ancient times), but it's clearly a modern construction, flat in the middle and covered with concrete. Ancient dams had no flat surface, being made only of irregular rocks.

Quotes
Young Vlad Tepes: Grandpa, are you immortal?
King Mircea the Elder: Why are you asking?
Young Vlad Tepes: Because I hear some saying: "This one is not going to die!"
