| 1 | * BannedInChina: Egypt banned the movie due to historical inaccuracies. |
| 2 | * BoxOfficeBomb: Budget, $140 million. Box office, $65,014,513 (domestic), $268,175,631 (worldwide). |
| 3 | * DawsonCasting: Fifty-seven-year old John Turturo playing Seti I who died at forty-four. |
| 4 | * DyeingForYourArt: Creator/ChristianBale almost didn't get the role of Moses because he had gained so much weight for ''Film/AmericanHustle.'' He lost all the weight required and read the first five books of the Bible, as well as the Qur'an to prepare. |
| 5 | * FakeNationality: Like [[Film/TheTenCommandments1956 Charlton Heston and Yul Brynner]] before them, Creator/ChristianBale, who played Moses, isn't Jewish and Creator/JoelEdgerton, who played Ramses, isn't Egyptian. |
| 6 | * RealitySubtext: The film is dedicated to Creator/RidleyScott's brother, fellow director Creator/TonyScott, who died in 2012. Since the film is about two brothers, more than a few reviewers have tried to read meanings into this. |
| 7 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: |
| 8 | ** Creator/StevenSpielberg and later Creator/AngLee were reportedly attached to a Moses movie called ''Gods and Kings'' for Creator/WarnerBrothers, developed independently of this film which was always a Ridley Scott project with the working title ''Exodus''. Since this has claimed the ''Gods and Kings'' title, DuelingMovies seems to have been averted. |
| 9 | ** Creator/OscarIsaac and Creator/JavierBardem were offered the role of Ramses but both turned it down. |
| 10 | ** Ridley Scott claims that his final cut ran ''four hours''. The theatrical cut is two and a half. |
