    • Trivia
      It's a true story. Eugène-François Vidocq was an important figure of French history even though he is not very well known, and has been portrayed on screen numerous times, in films such as the Vidocq (1911), Vidocq (1939), A Scandal in Paris (1946), Le cavalier de Croix-Mort (1948), The Story of the Count of Monte Cristo (1961) and Vidocq (2001) among others.
    • Goofs
      When Vidocq fights Nathanaël in the church and seizes his fist, in which the knife is still held, Vidocq's grip on the hand changes in between shots.
