    • Trivia
      This was the first leading role for Tom Hardy (Theo).
    • Goofs
      In many scenes, especially the scene where Tyro and Didi climb up the wall, there is clearly a steel-wire lifting the actors up, when they are supposed to be climbing by themselves.
    • Quotes

      Deucalion: My God is ready for his meat! Let us see the mouth of hell. Open the gates!

      [goes towards the two virgins]

      Deucalion: Do not be afraid, you spirits will lie warm in the belly of the bull, and your flesh will taste sweeter, now that it's aroused.

      [yelling down the hole]

      Deucalion: Come, POWERFUL ONE! Come SEE what I have brought you! COME TASTE!

    so,so
    I'm a real fun of mythology from wherever part of the world, Grece, Italy, Norway, etc, whatever kind of movie of this genre I see and I play PC-games too, such as Age of mythology or Titans. When "Minotaur" started, the woman's words at the beginning made me feel eager for a interesting movie, but minute by minute, that excitement was going down. I waited for something better, the effects didn't like me too much, especially when the beast was running, the plot was weak. I think that this kind of movie should have a good argument, may be from the real myth, and good special effects for being a nice film where you, furthermore you enjoy the movie, learn about Mythology. Really a so so movie.
