• Jitu Verma (Indian) owns most of the horses that appear in the film.
• The magic word 'Googly', which Alexandra repeats in the film, is also the name of the production company.
• Scenes featuring Alexander the Great were filmed in Rome.
• The monkey, Darwin Wallace, is a reference to Alfred Russel Wallace, who independently of Darwin developed the theory of natural selection. Darwin and Wallace presented the theory together.

Upon learning this, Tarsem Singh and the entire film crew tried to keep Lee's true condition a secret for as long as possible to enhance the authenticity of the dialogues between Katinka and Lee.
