    • Quotes

      Geen: [about the Caravan Road] The Shah of Khwarezm imposed a truce. All have sworn to it. All observe it. No warrior is permitted to carry arms here.

      Temujin, later Genghis Khan: Good, then we can take our pick without fighting!

      Shan: You do not understand, Temujin. A truce was signed!

      Temujin, later Genghis Khan: I did not sign it, the slaves did not sign it.

      Geen: But...!

      Temujin, later Genghis Khan: [Interrupts] Will there be women among the slaves?

      Geen: Yes, lord...

      Temujin, later Genghis Khan: Good. My men have horses and weapons, but no women. How long do you think they will stay without women?

      [At Shan]

      Temujin, later Genghis Khan: How long will you?

      [Shan smirks]

    • Alternate versions
      All UK releases are cut by one min three secs. The cinema version was cut for nudity and later video releases also included additional edits for horse-falls and to a rape scene. In the latest UK DVD release, the only cuts are for dangerous horse falls (35 seconds).

    The Mark of Blood

    Irving Allen went all the way to Yugoslavia to make this foolish attempt in Technicolor and Panavision to capitalise on Omar Sharif's new-found celebrity which actually carried a disclaimer from Talking Pictures for the myriad racial caricatures on display.

    The international cast represents every conceivable ethnicity except for a bona fide Mongolian. Familiar Asian types include Stephen Boyd, James Mason, Robert Morley, Michael Hordern, Telly Savalas, Eli Wallach, Woody Strode, Yvonne Mitchell, Kenneth Cope and Jacqueline Pearce (the latter pair playing Francois Dorleac's brother and Wallach's daughter; the craziest line being Miss Dorleac's description of herself as "ugly-looking").
