    • Trivia
      Writer and director Stephen Weeks wanted to cast Mark Hamill as Gawain, but producers Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus cast Miles O'Keeffe instead. O'Keefe's voice was dubbed by Peter Firth.
    • Goofs
      When the Green Knight is addressing the revelers at the King's feast, after he has been decapitated and has put his head back on, his sleeve falls back when he raises his arm and you can see the line where the makeup applied to his hand ends.
    • Quotes

      Sir Gawain: I forgot to ask one question during my quick initiation into knighthood.

      Humphrey: Oh? What's that?

      Sir Gawain: How to relieve myself in this tin suit.

    • Alternate versions
      There is a much longer version of the film, shot in its original widescreen format. Not seen since its first screening, this was to be released on DVD. This did not materialize and this version will probably not be seen again.

    Bad film yes, but plenty to appreciate
    This is certainly a dodgy film on many levels, but it has some redeeming moments. Sean Connery is terrific as The Green Knight, he obviously has a heap of fun in the role and steals the show.

    If you come across this film you could do a lot worse.
