What's left behind the scenes
- The film is based on Patrick O'Brian's series of novels about Captain Jack Aubrey and Doctor Stephen Maturin (1970-2004).
- To help the actors playing the ship's crew bond, Russell Crowe organized regular rugby games.
- Ralph Fiennes was considered for the role of Doctor Maturin.
- Approximately 2,000 costumes were used during the making of the film.
- Filming took around 100 days at the Baja Studios in Mexico, and only 10 days at sea.
- Russell Crowe performed most of the violin playing himself. He later admitted that learning the instrument was the most challenging thing he had ever done for a film.
- To research his role, Paul Bettany went to the Royal College of Surgeons in London to learn how to use surgical instruments from the 18th century.
- According to Aubrey’s letter to his beloved, the film’s action takes place in 1805.
- In the Russian translation of the book, Jack Aubrey's ship is called "Surprise." There are quite a few differences between the film and the books.
- Historical consultants were constantly present during the filming of "Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World," assisting the film crew and providing advice on important historical events.
- To participate in this project, Russell Crowe temporarily turned down a role in "Knockdown." He eventually returned to the project, but the director had already been replaced.
- The first film in history to be shot on the Galapagos Islands.
- Two ships were used for filming the movie, one of which – "Rose" – was an exact replica of the frigate "Surprise." The second ship was an exact copy of the "Rose" and stood on a set at a film studio in Mexico.
- Filming took place from June 17 to November 11, 2002.
