Christopher Lee in Rasputin: The Mad Monk (1966)

Goofs

Rasputin: The Mad Monk

Edit

Continuity

When seen from the exterior, the front door of the Cafe Tzigane is different from that seen in the interior shots.
During the fight in the barn, Rasputin brings the blade down on his opponent's left arm, just below the elbow, and yet it is the right hand, cut off just above the wrist, that ends up on the floor.
Towards the end of the film there's a fight between Ivan (Francis Matthews) and Rasputin (Christopher Lee). Francis in an interview said that he spent about 14 days filming the fight with Chris' double. 'I got thrown over a settee which toppled over and a bookcase fell on me so I was very dishevelled and in a mess. When you look at the film I'm very smart and neat and looking round with Dr Zargo (Richard Pasco) for Rasputin who comes from behind a chair and throws a knife which goes into Richard's back. Chris comes running over and picks me up from the floor and I'm dishevelled and my hair a mess and somewhat worse for wear. Almost all of the fight had been cut'
A poster for the "Grand Ball at the Palace in aid of Charity" is in English. A business sign is in Russian. Choose one language or the other but not both.

Factual errors

Although the Russians cross themselves correctly (right to left), the crucifixes and crosses are almost all Western rather than Orthodox, and there is an unbearded priest.
The landlord in the start of the film did not cross himself properly,( head right left chest) he does it in the Catholic manner.
Rasputin was killed in the following manner. He was poisoned then the body was thrown into the Malaya Nevka River not thrown out of a window.

Anachronisms

About fifteen minutes into the film, as Rasputin races round the corner in his hijacked horse and wagon, a figure in the background looks suspiciously like a member of the public in modern dress.

Plot holes

Ivan has a bloody lip at the end of the film, with no explanation as to its cause. In fact, the injury was the result of an extended fight sequence, which they spent several days filming, but which was eventually cut from the finished film.
