What's left behind the scenes

  • The majority of the film, set in the sixth century at the court of King Arthur, was shot in and around Budapest. The baseball scenes were filmed on the sports grounds of the American London Central High School located in High Wycombe, near London. Students of this school were allowed to visit the set and audition for several supporting roles.

  • Sean Penn was originally cast as Kane's teacher, but he left the project due to serious disagreements with director Michael Gottlieb. After the film's release, the actor harshly criticized it, stating that the movie had significant potential that ultimately went unrealized. Following his departure, the role went to Daniel Craig, a Briton who was virtually unknown at the time.
  • Actress Paloma Baeza, who played King Arthur's younger daughter, Princess Katie, is actually six months older than Kate Winslet, who played the eldest daughter, Princess Sarah. Both of them are five years older than Thomas Ian Nicholas, who played Kelvin in the film.
