* FaceDeathWithDignity: When Samson brings the temple down, instead of panicking and trying to run like the others, the Saran calmly acknowledges Samson's God is real and gives Delilah a final toast.

* OhCrap: The people jeer as the blinded Samson pushes against the pillars of the temple, only to stop and stare in horror as the pillars crack and begin to move.

!!This film contains examples of:
* AdaptationalExplanation: The film specifies that donkeys' skulls and jawbones were used by court jesters. One is present at Samson's arrest at Etam to mock his "defeat". Samson uses his donkey skull. Lots of "ass" jokes in these scenes as the Saran of Gaza realizes how this is going to make his empire look to the rest of the world.
--> '''Saran:''' Lord Athur! Military Governor of Dan! Prince of Philistia! Emir of Armies! Beaten with the jawbone of an ''ass!'' Are you a soldier, or a clown commanding fools?
* AdaptationalHeroism: Delilah is portrayed more sympathetically here, showing regret over betraying Samson and helping him bring down Dagon's temple.
* AdaptationalKarma: While her fate after betraying Samson is never mentioned in the ''Bible'', here Delilah is killed when Samson brings down the temple of Dagon.
* BettyAndVeronica: Miriam, the sweet, gentle Hebrew girl vs the spoiled and selfish Delilah.
* BigBad: The Saran of Gaza, who has conquered the people of Israel and sends [[TheVamp Delilah]] to seduce and destroy [[TheHero Samson]], who leads the rebellion against him.
* ClingyJealousGirl: Delilah, whenever Miriam shows up.
* CrapsackWorld: The Land of Dan, as the Philistines oppress the Jewish people with a military dictatorship that abolishes most of their culture and makes them serve their conquerors hand and foot.
* DeathByAdaptation: In the original story, Delilah's fate is not specified; in this retelling, Delilah is killed in the collapsing temple.
%% * FauxAffablyEvil: The Saran of Gaza, played by George Saunders.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Twice in the film, Delilah says "If you crushed the life out of me, I'd kiss you with my dying breath." Guess how she dies.
* NamedByTheAdaptation: Samson's first wife is named Semadar.
* NeverMyFault: Delilah blames Samson for the death of her sister and father, ignoring the fact that she set off most of the trouble by being a ManipulativeBitch and trying to get Samson for herself.
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: Here Delilah is the sister of Samson's first wife.
* YoungFutureFamousPeople: Saul, the future king of Israel, shows up as Samson's KidSidekick. Odd considering he was from the tribe of Benjamin rather than Dan.
