According to Peter Faber, the Indonesian noblemen attending Max Havelaar's rousing speech were impoverished local extras who had little notion of film, and even less that they were in one. Upon Havelaar's urging to the nobility to treat the local populace better, they initially believed that it was real, and started cheering for Faber as their savior. The scene had to be re-shot several times as a result.
