  • Banned by former dictator Suharto for its graphic depiction of his tumultuous and bloody rise to power in the 1960s, the film was finally screened in Indonesia on 6 November 2000, two years after he was forced from office after 32 years of autocratic rule.
  • Movie Goof (continuity error): The rear window of Guy's car is smashed when the mob attacks it. The next shot is from inside the car, which shows the rear window still intact.
  • Movie Goof (anachronisms): The LE TIGRE t-shirts the reporters are wearing did not come until 1977 - they were not around in 1965.
  • Movie Goof (factual errors): Billy Kwan should have the same type of dwarfism as his father, and yet his limbs and body are perfectly normal despite his small size.
