Author of the Sharpe books, Bernard Cornwell has stated that a popular idea among the cast was that the next film would open up with Obadiah returning from the grave. Cornwell has also stated that he has long regretted killing off Hakeswill, for as he puts it, 'Useful villains are hard to come by'.
Especially obvious in the scene where Sharpe meets Captain Fredrickson for the first time is a patch on Sharpe's left arm saying "VS" in a wreath. This stands for Valiant Stormer and was a patch awarded to those soldiers and officers who had survived being part of a Forlorn Hope during a siege attack, as Sharpe had been in Sharpe's Company
Tony Haygarth makes the first of his two appearances as two different characters in the Sharpe chronicles. He becomes the first and only actor to portray two different leading "baddies" in the series with his second outing in Sharpe's Justice (1997) when he played the corrupt industrialist, Parfitt.

The quote by Voltaire, "On dit que Dieu est toujours pour les gros bataillons." (It is said that God is always on the side of the big Battalions) is from a letter to François-Louis-Henri Leriche in 1770. The quote "God is not on the side of the big Battalions, but of the best shots" is from his notebooks.
"Teresa: [to Sir Augustus] If you were a man, I would call you out, force you to fight a duel, and kill you."
"Isabella: Voltaire says, I have no morals, yet I am a very moral person. And that's how I think I am. Richard Sharpe: That's how I think you are, too."
