Trivia:
This is the first feature film granted permission by the Chinese government to be filmed in the Forbidden City, and was the first film made in and about the country to be produced with full Chinese government cooperation since 1949.
Queen Elizabeth II was in Beijing on a state visit during the filming of the immense coronation scene in the Forbidden City. The production was given priority over her by the Chinese authorities and she was therefore unable to visit the Forbidden City.
Over 1,000 schoolchildren were brought in to play Red Guards in the 1967 Cultural Revolution march. Director Bernardo Bertolucci had problems instilling the right amount of anger in them, as none of them knew of the attitudes of the Cultural Revolution.
