A very long list of sources have challenged Yahia's claims, including a former palace guard, one of the Hussein family's surgeons, a CIA officer, and at least two of Uday's confidantes. One of the latter claimed Yahia was nothing more than a lookalike who used his resemblance to pick up women.
There is a reference to The Godfather in one of the first scenes where Latif is impersonating Uday. He acts as a double when entering and leaving an important meeting. When he leaves and is shot at by a young boy an orange cart is shown prominently with oranges falling. Oranges were present whenever death occurred or was about to in The Godfather and there was an orange cart featured when Don Corleone was shot at it.
Danny Boyle was considered to direct.
Despite playing Iraqi characters, Dominic Cooper is British.
"Munem: Please be clear about this, Latif. Uday has chosen you. You belong to him. You have about five minutes to think about this. Before a car pulls up outside your house in Al-Adhamiya and your family, everyone one of them - your father, your mother, your sisters and brothers; is thrown into Abu Ghraib. God willing, they will die quickly. I've said too much. You have about two minutes left."
"Latif Yahia: I wrote to my mother once a week. She's going to think that I got killed in Iran. Munem: Inshallah. Latif Yahia: Inshallah? My family are going to think that I'm dead. Munem: Let them think you died a martyr. I know it's difficult, but it's what Uday wants. He will accept nothing less. Latif Yahia: She will be knocking on the door of every hospital in Baghdad. Munem: When you say your prayers tonight, when you turn out the light and close your eyes, this is what you should be saying to yourself: "Latif Yahia is dead. He died in Iran. May God have mercy on him. Now I am Uday Saddam Hussein.""
