Soundtrack
When it comes to the soundtrack of The Princess And the Warrior, things are slightly more difficult than usual, because not only that there are songs featured in the film that are not on the soundtrack, there are also songs on the soundtrack not featured in the film. :-)

Notes:
- Pale 3 are Tom Tykwer, Johnny Klimek and Reinhold Heil, which, yes you've guessed it, is the same trio that worked on the Lola and Winter Sleepers soundtrack, only that they hadn't given themselves a name at the time.
- They named themselves Pale 3 because they worked so much in the studio they looked rather pale. :-) (see also the interview with Reinhold Heil for details)
- Skin is the lead singer of Skunk Anansie.
- Louise Rhodes is the lead singer of Lamb.
- Franka Potente has not started a professional singing career yet, although this is already her second contribution to a soundtrack after the Run Lola Run score in 1998... unless you count in her short version of Janis Joplin's Mercedes Benz in her debut film It's A Jungle Out There. ;-)
- Beth Hirsch is the voice on Air's album Moon Safari and released her first solo album in 2000.
- Anita Lane has already worked with Nick Cave and German avantgarde band Einstürzende Neubauten.
