About 90 members of OutRage, a British gay political action group, took part in the riot scene.
The film very much abridges the end of Marlowe's play: Prince Edward is shown dancing on top of a cage with Isabella and Mortimer inside it. In real life, after his father's death Edward III had his mother and her lover arrested, executing Mortimer (in Marlowe's play this happens instantly, whereas historically the king waited four years).
In the first scene between the Queen and Mortimer, Tilda Swinton carries an Hermes bag that, at £3,900, was more valuable than the cost of the set she was standing on.
With a budget of £750,000, this was the most expensive of Derek Jarman's movies.
The poem which Allan Corduner reads from in front of the King is Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy.
"[first lines] Edward II: My father is deceased. Come Gaveston, and share the kingdom with thy dearest friend."
"Edward II: I here create thee Lord High Chamberlain, Chief Secretary to the State and me, Earl of Cornwall, King and Lord of Man. Piers Gaveston: My Lord, these titles far exceed my worth. Edward II: Thy worth sweet friend is far above my gifts. And therefore to equal it, receive my heart."
