    • Trivia
      Despite being listed on posters and having main title billing, Ursula Andress only has one line in the entire film.
    • Goofs
      As the destruction of Argos begins, heavy winds blow the tunic of a man pulling a donkey on a rope to reveal a pair of modern-day gym shorts underneath.
    • Quotes

      Ammon: I was partial to tragedy in my youth. That was before experience taught me that life was tragical enough without my having to write about it.

    • Crazy credits
      In the closing credits, the cast is divided into three categories: The Immortals (for the gods of Olympus), The Mortals (humans, etc.), and The Mythologicals (As Themselves) (In Alphabetical Order) Bubo, Charon, Dioskilos, Kraken, Medusa, Pegasus, Scorpions, Vulture. Those 8 are the non-human animated characters supplied by special effects.
    • Alternate versions
      The UK cinema release was cut by the BBFC to secure an 'A' rating and removed the closeup shot of Calibos' trident-hand piercing a man's back, as well as shortening the prolonged shots of Calibos on his knees writhing in agony after a sword has been thrown into his stomach. The cuts were restored in all video/DVD releases and the certificate upgraded to a 15 (12 for the DVD).

    Setting things straight
    I am not here to comment on the admittedly laughable acting. I am not here to ridicule the uninteresting and thoroughly unoriginal storyline. But if anyone, anywhere in the world, endeavours to say a bad word about Ray Harryhausen's special effects, that's where my moral sense of outrage kicks in and I jump into action. Harryhausen's efforts may not closely resemble the flashy, ultrareal CGI-effects we're used to seeing right now. Heck, they may even be primitive for the time they were made in. But darnit, they're vintage! What Harryhausen and his two (that's right, just two!) assistants bring us is unfiltered movie magic, and one of the last true testaments to a dying artform. I know at least a few people who agree with me, which is always a comfort.
