-This set was inspired by Monet's paintings of haystacks.

-The interiors of the cave were filmed in a copper mine.

-Max did 300 "press ups" immediately before this scene. Despite that and working out 6 months at the gym, he was still too skinny for a blacksmith.

-The final hour of the day is known as the "Final Frenzy." Catherine wears a special baseball cap and chocolate is handed out to the cast/crew.
-Shiloh wanted to see Billy in drag.
