Trivia

In Greco-Roman mythology, the Amazons of Themyscira and the Greek hero Heracles share a rivalry, since Heracles seduced Queen Hippolyta and stole her enchanted belt. This carried over into both DC and Marvel comics. In the DC Comics, Hercules (who is the Roman version of the Greek Heracles) is a misogynistic and villainous character who was punished by the Amazons for defiling them; he later became an anti-hero who sought redemption for his actions.

In the Marvel comics, it was the reverse. Hercules was a superhero (and Thor's best friend) and Hippolyta and the Amazons were villains. Hippolyta's daughter was called Artume, and she was a parallel to Wonder Woman.

Goofs

The English subtitle during their multilingual "smack-down" has Sammy "say" to Diana in Mandarin: "I know Chinese, too, tricky girl". Although Mandarin is often referred to as 'Chinese' by laypeople, this is not a proper alternative and someone like Sammy should definitely not be making this mistake.

Quotes

[first lines]
Diana: I used to want to save the world. This beautiful place. But I knew so little then. It is a land of beauty and wonder, worth cherishing in every way. But the closer you get, the more you see the great darkness simmering within. And mankind? Mankind is another story altogether.

Crazy Credits

The closing logo combo varies:

• In the original theatrical release, the Atlas Entertainment, Cruel & Unusual Films and Warner Bros. Pictures logos is shown with the closing theme ending over it.
• In the Chinese theatrical release and worldwide home media prints, with a slight change in the "in association with" credit, the logos for Tencent Pictures and Wanda Pictures is added in-between the C&UF and WBP logos, making the WBP logo silent.

User Reviews

Awful casting choices.

Gal is not right in this. The story is so contrived that my suspension of disbelief never got an inch off the ground. And neither did the plot. The acting wasn't bad, they were just poorly cast.
