History Film / CyranoDeBergerac

* LargeHam: Gerard Depardieu in the role.

* ActorAllusion: Francis Weber, who plays de Guiche, was Cyrano in Savary's well-known theatrical 1983 version.

* {{Swashbuckler}}: The film is the most action-packed version of the play, even though there are only two SwordFight scenes and a war scene.

* CastingGag: Francis Weber, who plays de Guiche, was Cyrano in Savary's well-known theatrical 1983 version.

* OneManArmy: The play only states (with an ellipse) that Cyrano goes the Porte de Nesle to protect Lignière from dozens of {{mook}}s who are waiting there to ambush and kill him. In the film, the battle happens on screen, with Cyrano displaying much [[{{Badass}} badassery]] as he throws himself ''alone'' in the fight, mows a lot of enemies down and survives without a scratch to tell the tale.

* MusicalPastiche: The Porte de Nesle scene has one of ''Film/{{Batman}}'', of all things. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9QjlIx9ohQ See for youself]].

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeach: At least half of Cyrano's verses during his duel against Valvert are purely this.
