The casting of Dil proved extremely difficult for the filmmakers (Stanley Kubrick had at one point warned Neil Jordan the role was probably uncastable) until the casting director (Susie Figgis) received a tip-off from director Derek Jarman about Jaye Davidson. Davidson was later "discovered" by the film's casting agents at a wrap party for Jarman's film Edward II (1991), and was offered the opportunity to try out for the role of Dil. Davidson was (by his own admission) very drunk and not particularly enthusiastic (he thought it was just a joke at first) but eventually took the role in order to pay for a pair of hand-made leather riding boots he had seen in a copy of Vogue magazine.

The film was shot on such a shoestring budget it actually came very close to running out of funds.

Producer Stephen Woolley owned a repertory cinema in London called the "Scala", when there were funding issues with the film Woolley ended up borrowing money from the Scala to keep the production afloat.

When Jude confronts Fergus in his apartment, Fergus tells Jude that Jody died after he was hit by a Saracen armoured car. However, the military vehicle that hits Jody is actually an FV-1611 "Pig".

Jody: [playing ring toss at a carnival] Right.

Col: You could always make it up to her. When a girl runs out like that, she generally wants to be followed.

Jody: Now put it back in. It's only a piece of meat.
