What's left behind the scenes
- This was the last film Peter Ustinov appeared in. He died the following year (2004).
- When Tetzel appeals to people to buy indulgences, he puts his hand into the fire. A moment later, fire comes from his hand.
- In the film, Luther indicates the chapter and verse when quoting the Bible, whereas the Bible was not divided into chapters and verses until 1546, and even then this division was not universal.
- It is said about Albert of Brandenburg that he was the archbishop of two German dioceses and wanted to acquire a third. In reality, he was archbishop of only one diocese before receiving the archbishopric of Mainz.
- In the film, the name “Junker Georg” is given to Luther before his departure from Wartburg Castle. In reality, he lived under that name in the castle.
- In the scene of the Augsburg Diet, all the nobility, including the Electors, decided to defend the new doctrine. In reality, the majority of the Electors remained Catholic. Only two of these seven Electors were expected to support it: John the Steadfast, Elector of Saxony (as shown in the film), and the Margrave of Brandenburg. Three Electors were Catholic archbishops, and another, the King of Bohemia, was Ferdinand, brother of Charles V.
- In the film, the Golden Rose is given to Frederick the Wise as a bribe to hand Luther over to the Pope. In reality, the Golden Rose was sent to him earlier.
- In the scene of the conversation between Cardinal Cajetan and Girolamo Aleandro after the election of Leo X, Cardinal Cajetan states that he was made a cardinal by Pope Alexander VI, when in fact he was made a cardinal by Leo X in 1517.
- The film shows that Leo X made Girolamo Aleandro a cardinal, which is incorrect; he was made a cardinal by Paul III.
- At the end of the film, Luther presents his translation of the Bible to Frederick the Wise. In reality, they never met.
