The flag seen flying on the ship after the crew had mutinied is white, which is the color of the tsars, but this was done so that it could be hand-painted red (the color of communism) on the celluloid.

The flag was hand-tinted red for 108 frames by director Sergei Eisenstein for the film's premier.
