Tim Roth thought he was going to be fired for making Archibald Cunningham too eccentric. He asked his agent to start looking for more work for him. Despite thinking this, director Michael Caton-Jones told him to be more campy and eccentric. Roth would later receive an Oscar nomination for his performance.
This movie was shot entirely on-location in Scotland, much of it in parts of the Highlands so remote, they had to be reached by helicopter.
Montrose's line bemoaning the Queen's lack of an heir is a reference to her seventeen pregnancies, which resulted in six miscarriages, six stillbirths, two children who lived only a few minutes after birth, a daughter who didn't see her first birthday, another who didn't see her second, and a son, William, Duke of Gloucester, who died a few days after turning eleven, two years before Anne's ascension to the throne.
Jason Flemyng took the part of an extra in this movie in direct opposition to the wishes of his agent. Flemyng was determined to be in this movie, as it gave him a chance to act alongside Tim Roth, one of his idols.
Appearing in this movie netted Tim Roth his biggest paycheck up to that date.
"Archibald Cunningham: Think of yourself a scabbard, Mistress McGregor, and I the sword. And a fine fit you were, too. Mary: I will think on you dead, until my husband makes you so. And then I will think on you no more."
"Son: Father, will the MacGregors ever be kings again? Robert Roy MacGregor: All men with honor are kings. But not all kings have honor. Son: What is honor? Robert Roy MacGregor: Honor is... [Mary looking on] Robert Roy MacGregor: what no man can give you and none can take away. Honor is a man's gift to himself. Son: Do women have it? Robert Roy MacGregor: Women are the heart of honor, and we cherish and protect it in them. You must never mistreat a woman, or malign a man, nor stand by and see another do so. Son: How do you know if you have it? Robert Roy MacGregor: Never worry on the getting of it. It grows in you, and speaks to you. All you need do is listen."
