* SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct: The casting of Creator/ChristianClavier as UsefulNotes/NapoleonBonaparte was initially met with [[QuestionableCasting quite some derision]] in France, not least because up to that point [[{{Typecasting}} he had only played comedic film roles]] (the {{Medieval Moron|s}} Jacquouille and his NervousWreck of a descendant Jacquart in ''Film/LesVisiteurs'' in particular). Critics and most audiences then found him surprisingly adept in the role, as had been the case when he played Thénardier in ''[[Series/LesMiserables2000 Les Misérables]]''.

* FandomRivalry: Among modern French Bonapartists and French enthusiasts of UsefulNotes/TheNapoleonicWars, it's usually down to two portrayals about "Who's the best screen Napoleon?" -- either Albert Dieudonné from the [[Film/Napoleon1927 1927 silent film]] for the more-cinephiles or Creator/ChristianClavier from this miniseries for the more historical accuracy and Empire era-oriented. At least both sides have agreed that Creator/JoaquinPhoenix (2023's ''Film/{{Napoleon|2023}}'') didn't cut it.
