What's left behind the scenes
- In the novel, Louis Degas is a minor character, remaining outside the plot already in the first half of the book. In the film, however, Degas became one of the main characters.
- When creating the image of Louis Degas, Dustin Hoffman was inspired by the image of the film's co-writer, Dalton Trumbo. This particularly applies to the aloofness and shyness that struck Hoffman during their personal acquaintance.
- To be able to see through the thick lenses of his character's glasses, Dustin Hoffman had to wear special contact lenses.
- It is documented that Henri Charrière was imprisoned in Saint-Laurent prison and may have escaped from there, however, he was never incarcerated on the infamous Devil's Island, although a penal colony on that island did indeed exist.
- Both the book and the film depict the shores of Devil's Island as solid, high cliffs. In reality, the shores of Devil's Island (now known as Salvation Island) are indeed rocky, but gently sloping.
- When Motholek is first placed in solitary confinement, he is bitten by a vampire bat. The wound it leaves looks like two small holes from which blood oozes – exactly as depicted in vampire movies. Vampire bats, although they drink blood, operate differently. Flying up to a sleeping living creature, a vampire bat does not bite its victim with fangs, which bats do not have, but instead cuts off a small piece of skin with sharp incisors, after which it deepens the wound with a rough tongue. After that, the bats hover over the victim, lapping up the drops of blood that seep from the wound.
- In the final shots, as Henri Charrière swims on a sack of coconuts, a diver in blue shorts and fins can be seen through the water, holding the sack underwater.
