TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Sir Ian Holm also played Napoléon Bonaparte in Time Bandits (1981) and Napoleon and Love (1974); in the 1970s, Stanley Kubrick approached him to star in his aborted biopic.

While the historical Napoléon Bonaparte never had the opportunity to say "They have changed my battlefield", it is reported that the Duke of Wellington, said exactly that when he revisited the place after the huge Dutch memorial mound was erected there.

Napoleon adopts poses reminiscent of famous portraits of him, including when he makes the speech to Pumpkin in his new uniform. When he sits on the chair after speaking his pose is the same as in the Delaroche painting "Napoleon after his abdication".

Popular Dialogues

"Eugene: My guts have been troubling me of late. Montholon: Perhaps Your Royal Highness would not suffer such pains if he did not sit around on his fat arse all day, stuffing his face like a pig. Eugene: [through a mouthful of sweets] I wish to consult a doctor. Montholon: Do you indeed? Eugene: An Italian doctor. No, German! The best there is! Montholon: You'll have your doctor when you've done your duty, not before. [Eugene reaches for another sweet] Montholon: [shouts] And stop stuffing your damn face! [Eugene stands up abruptly, gasping, and keels over]"

"[last lines] Napoleon Bonaparte: I have a message for Sergeant Justin Bommell. Gendarme: You wish to speak with him? Napoleon Bonaparte: Just the message. And I'd like to leave this. [puts a box on the counter; the gendarme looks inside and sees an Imperial Guard uniform] Gendarme: You were here before, weren't you? I recognize you. Napoleon Bonaparte: The message should read, "Eugene Lenormand is dead..." [the gendarme starts to write] Napoleon Bonaparte: No, not that. [thinks for a moment] Napoleon Bonaparte: "Eugene Lenormand... has moved on. He left this to remember him by.""
