[edit] Trivia

  • In the 2006 film, V for Vendetta, characters V and Evey Hammond watch the 1934 version of The Count of Monte Cristo. V cites it as his favorite film. Not coincidentally, the two films share similar revenge themes. Another strange connection between the two films is that the director of The Count of Monte Cristo director's middle name is identified with only the letter V, the name of the main character in V for Vendetta.
  • During the sequence where Mondego duels Monte Cristo, most of the intercut scenes show Mondego holding his sword in his right hand while one scene in the middle shows him holding the sword in his left hand.
