    • Trivia
      Director Timur Bekmambetov insisted that the chariot circus be built for real, and be realized with as little computer graphics imagery as possible. He felt it was absolutely necessary, to make the chariot race look and feel realistic.
    • Goofs
      As Judas walks through the market, the traders are emptying baskets of chili peppers that fill the entire foreground of the shot. These peppers were introduced to the world when Diego Álvarez Chanca, a physician on Columbus' second voyage to the West Indies in 1493, brought the first chili peppers to Spain and first wrote about their medicinal effects in 1494.
    • Quotes

      Jesus: Hate, anger, fear. Those are lies they use to turn you against each other. When you set aside the hate they force you to carry, that's when you know love is our true nature.

    • Crazy credits
      The end credits for the director, producer and department heads are animated to look like they fly across the race track, kicking up dust as if they were horse-drawn chariots.

    More than even
    I think this is my first review after years, but I just think that most of the qualifications are done comparing the original. Please, there is no comparison, but that doesn't mean that is a very well done movie. I have qualified over 2000 and I think I have some criteria. Give it a chance jajajaja the original is much better, but this one deserves more than 7.
