    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      (at around 26 mins) The line, "Come back with your shield, or on it," was a common phrase by Spartan women to their sons and husbands. Soldiers would drop their heavy shields when they ran, and their wives would rather they come home dead than a coward. Dead soldiers were carried home on their shields.
    • Goofs
      During the battle scenes, the blood never appears on the ground. In one scene, the blood hits the ground and disappears; in many it vanishes in the air. In another, the droplets fall and stick out of the ground like arrows. This is a stylistic choice to reflect the 'graphic novel' origins of the film.
    • Quotes

      Messenger: Choose your next words carefully, Leonidas. They may be your last as king.

      King Leonidas: [to himself: thinking] "Earth and water"?

      [Leonidas unsheathes and points his sword at the Messenger's throat]

      Messenger: Madman! You're a madman!

      King Leonidas: Earth and water? You'll find plenty of both down there.

      Messenger: No man, Persian or Greek, no man threatens a messenger!

      King Leonidas: You bring the crowns and heads of conquered kings to my city steps. You insult my queen. You threaten my people with slavery and death! Oh, I've chosen my words carefully, Persian. Perhaps you should have done the same!

      Messenger: This is blasphemy! This is madness!

      King Leonidas: Madness...?

      [shouting]

      King Leonidas: This is Sparta!

      [Kicks the messenger down the well]

    Solid even still now
    Even as the genre was not really interesting to me, I appreciated the experience for this one and truly see it's cinematographic value. It's also impression from a technical point of view, considering it still holds up visually more than 15 years later. The story is simple, but the adventure is interesting and there's good action.
