Trivia for The Duellist.

The film is based on a short story called "Duel" in the book "Stories of Goethe" written by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Rockstar Games originally wanted to do an anthology film of short stories adapted from the book, but realized that he couldn't afford it with the budget. He also stated he was specifically interested in the story "Duel", because he used to read it over and over again as a child.

Outside Rockstar Games and Malcolm McDowell, there are no cast/crew members of English nationalism.
