** Creator/JoelEdgerton co-leads [[Film/{{Warrior}} a movie about (or in this very film's case, would be) estranged brothers]].
** Likewise, Creator/ChristianBale plays [[Film/TheDarkKnightTrilogy a person who comes from wealth who wishes to protect the innocent]]. (Also, [[Creator/ValKilmer the second Batman]] to play [[WesternAnimation/ThePrinceOfEgypt Moses]]).
** Director Allusion - Ramses says to his sleeping son "You sleep so well, because you know you are loved", a line from Creator/RidleyScott's ''Film/{{Gladiator}}''. Both times the line is delivered by the film's main antagonist.
** It's very appropriate that Creator/BenKingsley gives Moses advice, since he was Moses himself in a 1995 film.

** For the Battle of Kadesh, Ramses wears a gold [[https://i0.wp.com/nilescribes.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/exodus-vulture-crown-e1534002048367.png headdress]]. This would be unremarkable except for the fact that he's wearing the ''vulture'' headdress, a crown reserved exclusively for queens and definitely not something a would-be king would put on. It's like if a grizzled military general wore a tiara into battle.

** The Egyptian government and archaeologists actually pointed out to the filmmakers that hanging didn't exist as a form of execution in Egypt during the time of Moses. This makes the scenes of Ramses hanging people laughably inaccurate.
** Women in ancient Egypt were only allowed to be priests of certain gods and couldn't have been the chief high priests as shown in the film.
** The Hittites in the films beginning are portrayed by dark-skinned or Middle Eastern actors. However, research has revealed they were not even Middle Eastern. ''They were white Indo-Europeans, coming from modern-day Eastern Europe.'' In fact, accounts of the time described them as having light-colored eyes and it's generally agreed they were most likely very fair.

Badass Mustache and Badass Beard are being merged into Manly Facial Hair. Examples that don't fit or are zero-context are removed. To qualify for Manly Facial Hair, the facial hair must be associated with masculinity in some way. Please read the trope description before readding to make sure the example qualifies.
