What's left behind the scenes
- The majority of the film was shot in the Philippines.
- In addition to the music of Maurice Jarre, the film features compositions by Vangelis ("L«Enfant") and several rock and roll and blues songs: "Whole Lotta Shakin» Goin» On" (Jerry Lee Lewis), "Be Bop A Lula" (Gene Vincent), "Ain»t That Lovin' You Baby" (Jimmy Reed), "Long Tall Sally" and "Tutti-Frutti" (Little Richard).
- Director Peter Weir cast Linda Hunt in the role of Billy Kwan when he was unable to find a male actor who could play the part as he envisioned.
- Until 1999, the film was banned in Indonesia due to its frank depiction of the events surrounding Suharto's rise to power (1921-2008). The first screening in Indonesia took place on November 6, 2000, two years after Suharto was forced to abdicate after 32 years of sole rule.
- Filming was initially planned for Jakarta, but news arrived that a ban had been placed on filming in Indonesia, and production had to be moved to the Philippines, near Manila. Filming in Manila itself stalled for 3 weeks due to threats against the film crew. It is alleged that the threats were directed at Mel Gibson and Peter Weir, who were accused of making a film that would supposedly be anti-Islamic. To complete filming, the production had to move to Sydney. The film turned out to be very expensive to produce.
- A significant portion of the non-English dialogue in the film is spoken not in Javanese, but in Filipino. When Billy visits the home of a deceased child in the slums, an old man recites the "Our Father" in Tagalog (one of the main languages of the Republic of the Philippines).
