    • Trivia
      Jason Connery's father Sean Connery also played Macbeth in the Canadian adaptation Macbeth (1961).
    • Goofs
      When Duncan is to be woken and the murder discovered, Macbeth waits outside. First, he has his sword in its scabbard in his left hand and his right hand upon the hilt, then in the next shot he has the sword in its scabbard pressed against his body and his right hand upon his shoulder saying "Twas a rough night." In the next shot, he holds the sword as in the shot before with his hands on the hilt and the scabbard.

    Great job!
    Thank goodness not all Dutch people are that ruthless. I think Jason is being judged like that by most people, simply because he has a famous father. Maybe he's not as great as some of those actors, but he's definitely not as bad as suggested.

    I watched the movie some years ago, and I actually loved it. I knew Jason from other movies and of course Robin of Sherwood. But I must say I really liked his acting from this movie on. It was really good!

    During the movie, I actually forgot he was the son of. Sean.. who?

    And if you're a Shakespeare lover, I can recommend this movie. I'm sure you'll enjoy it!
