Trivia
The script for this film sat in the office of Martin Scorsese's lawyer for at least five years prior to being made. Although Scorsese thought the film could be brilliant, he was concerned how the public might respond to the finished film. His lawyer agreed the script was brilliant and very "brave", but advised against making the movie, because he did not think moviegoers were ready for such a story.
Quotes
Jesus:
Which one of you people has never sinned? Whoever that is, come up here and throw these!
Goofs
The state of Mary Magdalene's robe when confronted by Jesus at the beginning.
Crazy Credits
Just before the credits, there is a flash of colors which leads to the credits "paged up" behind a yellow background.
Alternate Versions
Most DVD and streaming versions are missing Judas's line, "It's Magdalene; she deserves it," right before the attempted stoning scene. The line can be heard on the Criterion Blu-ray.
