Trivia
The plot is largely based on the novel The Prisoner of Zenda (1894) by Anthony Hope. Hope did not invent the king's-double-takes-his-place genre, which had previously been used by Alexandre Dumas in The Man in the Iron Mask (1850) and Mark Twain in The Prince and the Pauper (1881), among others. The Xenaverse had previously spoofed the same novel in Warrior... Princess (1996) a month earlier.

Crazy credits
No slightly soused kings-to-be who finally pull themselves up by their bootstraps and realize the true meaning of leadership were harmed during the production of this motion picture.
