Trivia

The movie was released in Moscow in 1925. It was competing for box office with Robin Hood, an American movie starring Douglas Fairbanks. The Soviet government hoped 'Potyomkin' would earn more than 'Robin Hood' in its opening week, as this would be a symbol of the revitalization of Russian arts after the Revolution. In the event, 'Robin Hood' won, but it was a close race. See more »

Continuity: During the Odessa Steps sequence as the mother walks with her son towards the oncoming troops, a long shot shows as she approaches, the soldiers halt one flight of stairs above the one she is on. In the next shot, however, the soldiers are marching down another flight of stairs as if they are going to walk right past her. Then in the next scene they have stopped again and are on the same flight of stairs as if they hadn't moved at all. See more »
