Revealing mistake: When Willie's body is covered, you can see the little boy playing him scrunch his eyes tighter shut and he smiles very briefly.
Revealing mistake: In the vaccination scene, the large woman supporting Robert De Niro misses her mark briefly revealing De Niro's leg bent behind him.
Audio problem: When the man with the peg leg is trying to resist getting a shot of anti-smallpox serum from Professor Waldman, he yells, "You're not sticking that in me. You're not sticking that in me." But if you look closely, you can see that his lips are not moving. (00:32:45)
Henry Clerval: I'm here to become a mere doctor. I'm told that has something to do with healing the sick, which is a pity really, because I find sick people rather revolting.
Trivia: Cherie Lunghi (born 1952) is only eight years older than Kenneth Branagh (born 1960), despite them playing mother and son.
