* ActorAllusion:
** [[spoiler:[[Series/IClaudius John Hurt]] actually ''is'' Zeus this time.]]
** Luke Evans seems to have replaced his [[Film/ClashOfTheTitans2010 Father]], maybe [[Creator/LiamNeeson Zeus]] is a title and he has retired.
* CastingGag: Some actors had played or has since played another type of immortals. Theseus' [[spoiler:father is [[Film/DraculaUntold Dracula]]]], [[Film/Blade1998 Frost]] his quest companion, [[Series/TheOriginals Klaus]] his nemesis, and [[Film/{{Twilight}} Emmett]] [[spoiler:his half brother]].
* FollowTheLeader: Followed up the success of ''Film/{{Three Hundred}}'' after it generated interest in hyper-stylized and more overtly fantastical Ancient Greece-themed films.
* StarDerailingRole: The failure of this film sadly killed all of Creator/MickeyRourke's hype after he experienced a fleeting CareerResurrection with his Oscar-nominated work in ''Film/TheWrestler''. Since then, he has primarily appeared in low-budget action and crime flicks that went straight to video.
* WorkingTitle: ''Dawn of War'' and ''War of the Gods''.
