    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Producer Francis Ford Coppola had originally planned to direct this movie as a companion piece to Dracula (1992), but eventually stepped back to let Sir Kenneth Branagh direct. Coppola later regretted his decision after several disagreements with Branagh during filming.
    • Goofs
      The opening crawl states that Captain Robert Walton set sail in the early 19th century. Then the next caption states that it is 1794, which is still in the 18th century.

      The prologue actually states that it is "the dawn of the 19th Century," which in common English vernacular refers to the period of time around the start of the new century. The year 1794 would fall within this reference.
    • Quotes
      • The Creature: I do know that for the sympathy of one living being, I would make peace with all. I have love in me the likes of which you can scarcely imagine and rage the likes of which you would not believe. If I cannot satisfy the one, I will indulge the other.
    • Alternate versions
      There is a work-print circulating which contains gore which was cut to earn an "R" rating, as well as other scenes, including the Fay Ripley scene and the re-animated dog scene.
