Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Rhys Ifans trained in ballet for months specifically for Rasputin's fight-dance sequence. Matthew Vaughn storyboarded it to a specific piece of orchestral music.
The film's depiction of the Zimmermann Telegram is largely accurate — the British really did intercept it via cable tapping, though probably with less knife fights involved.
