Universal Pictures paid $2 million for the rights to distribute this movie in the United States, and this movie went on grossing $11.2 million in limited theatrical release in the United States, making it the second-highest-grossing French-language movie in the United States since 1980 (this movie also did brisk video and DVD sales in the United States).

De Fronsac travels on a ship aptly named "Frère loup", French for "Brother wolf".

Goofs

In the final battle scene, before Fronsac kills Jean François, when he kills one of the "wolf-women" we can clearly see that he strikes the ground and not the woman's body.

Share this

The young woman in the water pit goes from holding a nubby horned baby goat to holding a lamb (without nubs), then to holding a baby goat again.

Share this

The body of the young woman which is used as bait for the wolf is that of the shepherdess (the lady with the goat), who isn't killed until about an hour later in the movie. (The shepherdess scene was originally shot to take place much earlier in the film and when it was switched to later, they just hoped no one would notice the body was identical.)

Faq

Why was the mob after the Marquis d'Apcher?

Aristocrats with money or power were targeted during the French Revolution. Even King Louis XVI was guillotined in 1793. His wife, Marie Antoinette, suffered the same fate nine months later. The real Marquis d'Apcher is said to have been spared when his subjects actually stood up in his favor.
