* [[Adaptation Sequence]]: Actual events —> unreliable historical document by a man who was taking a break from writing about giant ants —> Movie —> Graphic Novel —> Movie —> Video Game
* [[Banned in China]]: This film is banned in Iran because of the rather negative portrayal of Persians in this film (even though by an [[Unreliable Narrator]]).
* [[Beam Me Up, Scotty]]: Two minor examples:
** There's a good [[Dramatic Pause|twenty-second pause]] between the ambassador saying "This is madness!" and Leonidas responding with his famous line. Understandably, people usually omit the long pause when they're quoting the film.
** Leonidas full quote is "Spartans! Ready your breakfast and eat hearty, for tonight we dine IN HELL!", though it's commonly shortened to "Spartans! Tonight we dine ''in hell''!" as it is in the trailer.
* [[Dyeing for Your Art]]: The movie is a gigantic parade of special effects. The monsters, the blood, the surreal colors, none of it is real. But the ludicrously chiseled bodies of the Spartans? [http://www.gymjones.com/knowledge.php?id=35 Quite authentic.] The actors playing the Spartans, as well as the stunt crew, went through [[Training Fromfrom Hell]] in order to earn those abs the hard way. For a sense of solidarity with his actors and to "feel like a Spartan" himself, director [[Zack Snyder]] did too.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: Discounting the main cast, the Persian messenger is Hammond from ''[[Dead Space (video game)|Dead Space]]'', and Xerxes is, of all characters, Paulo from ''[[Lost]]''.
** Speaking of Xerxes, he was the Brazilian voice of [[Stuart Little]].
