Trivia[]
- Michael Fassbender's feature film debut.
- Rodrigo Santoro's voice was digitally altered to make it a full octave lower.
- Was the highest-grossing R-rated comic book film ever made, until the release of Deadpool (2016).
- Gerard Butler spent on average 4 hours a day training in a gym, for over 4 months, to get in shape for the role of the king.
- Though in the credits Lena Headey's character is listed as Queen Gorgo (the actual name of the real person) not once in the film is she referred to by name. She is referred by name in 300: Rise of an Empire (2014), and in the subtitles on the DVD/Blu-Ray release of this film.
- The line, "Come back with your shield, or on it," was a common phrase by Spartan women to their sons and husbands. Soldiers would drop their heavy shields when they ran, and their wives would rather they come home dead than a coward. Dead soldiers were carried home on their shields.
- When the Persians demand that the Spartans surrender their weapons, he replies "Come and get them." According to ancient historian Herodotus, Leonidas actually said that. It was also adopted as the motto of the Greek Army's 1st Corps.
