Trivia
The cliffhanger ending suggests Alexei may have survived the massacre at Ipatev House, as his body (along with one of his sisters') had never been recovered. However, approximately eleven years after this movie's release, remains found near the Ipatev House site were unearthed and confirmed to be Alexei's, thus rendering this movie's ambiguous finale anachronistic.

Goofs
The Romanov daughters all contracted the measles while under house arrest shortly before they were executed. As a result their heads were shaved. At the time of their death the girls did not have hair. In the film all the daughters have long hair when they are executed.
