Did You Know?
| Trivia | When Sharpe tells Harris to go home and write a book with lots of shooting in it and he will become a rich man. This is a direct reference to what some of the 95th Soldiers did do after the wars were over, and some did indeed become rich, due to the hero status that riflemen had at the time. One of those was Rifleman Benjamin Harris, who the character is loosely based on (though he is not actually meant to be the real Harris). An audio-book version of Benjamin Harris's 'Recollections' has been recorded by Jason Salkey, who plays his fictional alter ego in the Sharpe films. See more » |
| Goofs | Sharpe has always used a Pattern 1796 Heavy Cavalry Sabre. It's usually too long for an infantry officer on foot, but Sharpe is tall enough to carry it. His sword is broken in the attack on the fort and the sword that is given to Harper to replace it clearly has a blade that tapers towards the point. It also does not appear to be particularly long. It has a hand guard consisting of two rounded bars. Father Curtis tells Harper that he will only need half the guard. Harper apparently works the sword, but when he presents it to Sharpe, it is clearly a standard Pattern 1796 Heavy Cavalry Sabre with a long, parallel-sided blade, a prominent disc guard and a handle with a single, flattened, hand-guard bar that does not resemble the handle of the sword given to Harper.

Father Curtis: Do you Ramona Gonzales take this man to be your husband? Say "I do!" Ramona: I do. Father Curtis: I now pronounce you man and wife. Now, get up and kiss the bride.
