Goofs
The King and Queen of the Gods are given their Greek names, Zeus and Hera. The boxing champion of Jason's games is called by his Greek name, Polydeuces. But the mythical strongman who is one of the Argonauts, is called by his Roman name, Hercules. The Greek name for him was Heracles.
Alternate Versions
A brief scene was cut from the skeleton fight where the decapitated skeleton is seen feeling around for its head. In addition the UK cinema version was cut by the BBFC to remove the shrieking made by the skeletons from a face-on shot during the initial charge, and video versions featured the same print. DVD versions are uncut.
