* YouJustRuinedTheShot: Some [[TheMissionary missionaries]] told the story of one screening for a remote jungle tribe that was still somewhat new to the concept of movies. The film had to be halted temporarily at a climactic moment when the tribesmen, shocked by the [[CrucifiedHeroShot crucifixion scene]], began shooting blowgun darts at the screen in an attempt to kill the Roman soldiers and prevent Jesus from being crucified.

[[http://www.nytimes.com/2004/02/08/movies/baptism-by-celluloid.html?pagewanted=all&src=pm Allegedly]] the [[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/3076809.stm most-watched and most-translated]] film of all time, due largely to its global translation and distribution by Christian [[TheMissionary missionaries]]. Indeed, it was intended as a Christian missionary tool from the start. But because missionaries usually show the film to people free of charge, accurate figures for total viewings are pretty much impossible to come by, so don't expect to see the film on "Most Watched Films" lists alongside ''GoneWithTheWind'' and ''Film/{{Avatar}}'' any time soon.

* AdaptedOut:
** Since the film focuses on Luke, details only found in the other Gospels in the Bible are omitted. This includes the visit of the Wise Men (Magi) following Jesus's birth and the crown of thorns Jesus wore at his crucifixion. Bits do creep in like Levi the tax collector being identified as the apostle Matthew (only in the Gospel of Matthew).
** Not everything from Luke is shown, like the genealogy of Jesus.
* BibleTimes: Well, of course.
* CaliforniaDoubling: Averted. The film was shot in Israel, in the real places mentioned in the Gospel, like the Jordan River.
* FakeNationality: Brian Deacon is British.
* InformedAbility: Pontius Pilate is said to be a vicious governor but he seems more perplexed than vicious.
* MessianicArchetype: Jesus is the Messiah, or Christ.
* TheQueensLatin: The film used British actors for the main roles and recruited extras on location but dubbed their voices over with British people.
* SecondhandStorytelling: After Jesus comes BackFromTheDead, some of his appearances are mentioned but not depicted: the appearance to the two disciples on the road to Emmaus, which the Gospel relates as it happens, and the appearance to the apostle Simon (Peter), which the Gospel doesn't.
* SeparateSceneStorytelling: The parable of the GoodSamaritan.
* ShownTheirWork: As he is led to be crucified, Jesus only carries the cross beam not the whole cross, and later the nails are driven into his wrists, not literally his hands. This is considered to be more historically accurate than traditional Christian iconography of the sequence.
