* EnforcedMethodActing: According to the director, the wordless sex scene was not choreographed in order to get more awkwardly authentic performances from the actors, particularly since Adso is a sheltered teen monk losing his virginity. The actors also kept cuddling after the cameras stopped rolling, so the director and crew just dimmed the lights and left them alone.

* HostilityOnTheSet: According to Jean-Jacques Annaud's DVDCommentary, Creator/FMurrayAbraham was extremely difficult to work with. The actor was coming off his Oscar win for ''Film/{{Amadeus}}'' and was apparently an "egomaniac" on the set, always keen to remark that he was an Academy Award winner, while Creator/SeanConnery was not.
