  • Genius Bonus: Leonidas calling the Athenians "boy lovers" isn't an insult on their homosexuality. Athens prohibits over-aged prostitutes. Leonidas was saying Athenians are a bunch of wimps for not having sex with "real" men.
  • Hey It's That Guy: Discounting the main cast, the Persian messenger is Hammond from Dead Space, and Xerxes is, of all characters, Paulo from Lost.
  • The film had an Unreliable Narrator, and fans love it for what it is. If you're curious, though, this article lists every inaccuracy regarding the film's portrayal of Persians.
  • Throw It In: The Oracle's words are actually just ad-libbed gibberish by the actress who played her. Zack Snyder was delighted that she worked the word "Carneia" into it.
