 When Philippe is in prison and Jeremy Irons comes disguised as a hugely fat  friar (concealing a substitute body to leave in Philippes place) who, is  going to hear his confession and offer mass, Philippe kneels down and (in the  movie theater version) makes the sign of the cross as he says he must  confess. When the movie was released in VHS format, Philippes making the  sign of the cross was left out.
