What's left behind the scenes

The full version of the film has a runtime of 219 minutes.
Pu Jie, brother of the last emperor and a character in the film himself, served as one of the film's consultants.
Tony Leung Ka-fai was initially invited to play the lead role, but he declined, believing that his English was not good enough.
