Ammon: So says the bastard son of a god.
- There are 55 snakes in Medusa's hair.
- The 3D conversion cost $10 million.
- While the film is primarily based on Greco-Roman mythology, aspects of it are drawn from other cultures. The Kraken comes from Norse mythology, and the Djinn originated in the Arabian/Oriental regions, while Cepheus's snipe about Andromeda being a missionary might hint at the coming Christianity (Christians often served as missionaries).
- In Greek mythology, Perseus and Andromeda had seven sons, one of whom is Perses, who became an ancestor of the emperors of Persia, and from whose name "Persia" is supposedly derived. Io (who in Greek mythology, is Perseus' great great great great great great great grandmother) is portrayed by Gemma Arterton, who appeared in Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2010), as the love interest of a Persian prince.
- Matthew Bellamy, lead singer of Muse, was originally hired to do the music but dropped out halfway through to concentrate on touring with his band.
