The crew and cast was struck by lightning while shooting in the mountains. William Moseley was hit as was the camerawoman. She was looking through the viewfinder as the lightning struck and went through the iron body through her eye to her optical nerve and burnt it.
A battlefield set was destroyed and flushed into a nearby river by a mud slide.
William Moseley was hit by the lightning and days later he wasn't able to continue shooting the film anymore. Production had to be halted for another week.
Heavy rainfalls in the dolomites filled up a previously dry river bed within an hour. The film crew was trapped and some members of the crew had to be rescued to get across the river and to safety.
