| 1 | * CaliforniaDoubling: France and Hungary double for Russia. |
| 2 | * FakeRussian: Needless to say, Creator/WoodyAllen and Creator/DianeKeaton are not Russian. |
| 3 | ** Because most of the film was shot in France, many of the other Russian characters are played by French actors. |
| 4 | * FakeNationality: Corsica-born Frenchman UsefulNotes/NapoleonBonaparte is played by Creator/JamesTolkan, who is from Michigan. |
| 5 | * CompletelyDifferentTitle: In West Germany, the film became ''Die letzte Nacht des Boris Gruschenko'' ("The Last Night of Boris Grushenko"). |
| 6 | ** The Spanish, and Brazilian dubs of the film took the German title, so in Spanish it is known also as ''La última noche de Boris Gruschenko'', and in Portuguese, as "A Última Noite de Boris Grushenko". |
| 7 | ** The European Portuguese translators chose to highlight the film's nature as a spoof, titling it after Tolstoi's War and Peace. As a result, in Portugal, it is titled "Nem Guerra, New Paz" ("Neither War nor Peace", from the portuguese "Guerra e Paz", which is the novel's translated title). |
| 8 | * StudioHop: The film began development at Fox and was intended to be their one of their big Christmas 1974 releases. Eventually, it went into turnaround to Creator/UnitedArtists due to their relationship with Creator/WoodyAllen. Allen wouldn't make a film for Fox until ''Film/MelindaAndMelinda''. |
| 9 | * TroubledProduction: The film was shot in France and Hungary, and production was beset by bad weather, food poisoning, spoiled negatives, and physical injuries. Furthermore, the crews and extras were from different countries, and didn't all speak the same language, making it difficult for them to communicate with each other and Allen. With all of these problems, Allen swore he'd never film outside of the US ever again. (That ended with ''Film/MatchPoint''.) |
