The film's director, Jean-Jacques Annaud, sent a crew to Tibet to shoot footage. Ultimately, approximately 20 minutes of material filmed there was included in the film. This information was kept strictly confidential. The filming was done in secret, and no one knew about it until the summer of 1999.
After Brad Pitt and David Thewlis starred in this film, they were banned from entering China.
Jetsun Pema, who starred in this film, is the Dalai Lama's sister. In the film, she played his mother, and therefore also her own mother.
During the scene of the altercation between Heinrich and Ngawang, the director intentionally did not warn actor B.D. Wong that his character was supposed to be pushed into the mud. When Pitt did what was required of him, Wong, as expected, became furious.
Brad Pitt's Austrian accent ranked third in Empire magazine's list of worst movie accents.
