When asked why a film about such a quintessentially Spanish artist was made in English, the director replied "I don't speak Spanish."
Milos Forman cast Randy Quaid as the King of Spain after seeing his work as Tom Parker in Elvis (2005) by phoning him and saying, "You are a great actor. You must be my King or I must repaint Goya". Randy accepted.
Milos Forman cast Natalie Portman after noticing her likeness to the girl in Goya's painting "Milkmaid of Bordeaux".
Near the end, when the king appears in the balcony at the execution scene, some people yell "Vivan las cadenas!" (Long live the chains!). This salute was coined in 1814 by Spanish monarchists when Fernando VII was restored to the throne with absolute powers, thus abolishing the Constitution of Cadiz, which was established by Napoleonic authorities.
The orange long-sleeved gown with accordion-pleat trim on the over-sleeves worn by an extra in the square at the end of the film is the same costume worn by an extra in the Pump Room when Anne talks with Mr. Elliot in Persuasion (2007), by Lady Willoughby when she meets Lady Russell in the Pump Room in Screen Two: Jane Austen's Persuasion (1995), and by the dance teacher during the fan-language lesson in The Regency House Party (2004).
"[Bonaparte and Lorenzo are looking at paintings of Maria Luisa] Joseph Bonaparte: I met her once... don't recall her being quite so ugly though. How did she have so many lovers? Brother Lorenzo: [smiling] She was the Queen, Your Majesty."
"Brother Lorenzo: There will be no liberty for the enemies of liberty!"
