Trivia: There are 11 entries in the trivia list - like these:
- The famous Odessa steps sequence was not originally in the script, but was devised during production.
- Charles Chaplin said it was his favorite movie.
- The flag seen flying on the ship after the crew had mutinied was white, which is the color of the tsars, but this was done so that it could be hand painted red on the celluloid, which is the color of communism. Since this is a black and white film, if the flag had been red, it would have shown up black in the film.
