Behind the Scenes
The scene when The Queen dressed as a nun knocks out the guard with a bible claiming "the power of the word". The reveal of a brick inside the pages was cut.
Normally the actors fight a stunt double and editing place the two actors together but in the pitchfork scene Tessie Santiago and Ramon Camin did it together and the scene got out of hand and Santiago suffered a bruised finger and Ramon's sword glanced her cheek.
