What's left behind the scenes
- Exterior scenes were shot in Seville and Granada, Spain, as well as in Costa Rica and the Dominican Republic.
- The film's producers had to sue the Zalkinds for the right to use the name Christopher Columbus in the title.
- Ridley Scott was not the first choice for director; Francis Ford Coppola, Roland Joffé, Oliver Stone, and David Putnam were considered before him. Scott, who had long dreamed of working on a historical film, was considered as a potential director for another cinematic project commemorating the 500th anniversary of the discovery of America, the film «Christopher Columbus: The Story of Discoveries by Alexander Zalkind and Ilya.»
- The role of Queen Isabella I of Castile was initially given to Anjelica Huston, but was then given to Sigourney Weaver, who had previously worked with Scott on «Alien.»
