!!The 1989 film
* AllStarCast: The cast list reads rather like a "Who's Who of British Acting", with names like Creator/JudiDench, Creator/DerekJacobi, Creator/BrianBlessed, Creator/KennethBranagh, Creator/EmmaThompson, Creator/IanHolm, Creator/ChristianBale, Creator/RobbieColtrane and Creator/RichardBriers. It's especially worth noting that this was ''not'' an AllStarCast at the time. Ian Holm, Derek Jacobi, and Brian Blessed were somewhat fairly well-known character actors on-screen, and Christian Bale was a rising child actor coming off of ''Film/EmpireOfTheSun'', but everyone's gotten a lot more famous since, especially star-director Kenneth Branagh and his wife Emma Thompson.

* EnforcedMethodActing: Creator/KennethBranagh said in an interview that carrying the "corpse" of Creator/ChristianBale caused him terrible back pain. He carried his dead weight for the whole of a long tracking shot. The look on his face was genuine pain and not acting.
* RealLifeRelative: Branagh cast wife (at the time) Creator/EmmaThompson as Catherine.

* NoStuntDouble: Due to the absence of trained stunt men, Creator/LaurenceOlivier had to do his own stunts as well as showing almost every Irish extra how to do their stunts (this resulted in him suffering many injuries including fractured shoulders).
* RealitySubtext: The film was partly intended as a wartime morale-booster for the British. Certain parts of the play were consequently omitted, such as Henry's hanging of a friend as an example of firm justice.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** Creator/LaurenceOlivier originally asked Creator/WilliamWyler to direct. Wyler declined, saying, "If it's Shakespeare, it must be you [who directs the film]".
** Olivier's then wife, Creator/VivienLeigh, very much wanted to play Katherine, but David O. Selznick would not let her out of her contract with Selznick International Pictures, feeling that the role was much too small for an actress of her cache. Leigh never forgave Selznick, and never worked for him again.
** Creator/JohnGielgud asked Olivier to cast him as the Chorus, but Olivier declined, offering him the lesser role of the King of France instead. Gielgud turned down the offer.
** Creator/TerenceYoung was allegedly asked to direct.
