 Many long nights were spent filming the siege scenes. Due to the  expansive area involved, loudspeakers were installed around the  battlefield and fort so directions could be easily given to the  hundreds of cast and crew. One night after many long hours, Mann was  heard to shout over the speakers, "Whats that orange light? Turn  out that orange light!" After a pause another voice (an A.D.?) came  over the speakers stating, "Thats the SUN, Michael."
