Budget
editBox Office Mojo gives the budget as $70 million.[1] LATimes.com says that it's $40 million.[2] Anyone know for sure which figure is right? --VeryCrocker (talk) 06:26, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
- @VeryCrocker: Googling the film title and the word "budget", $70 million is what comes up most frequently. I suspect that $40 million is a typo since we see earlier that Lone Survivor is budgeted at that same amount. I will contact Los Angeles Times to see if they can correct that article.

The usage of Hercules (2014 film) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) is under discussion, see talk:Hercules: The Thracian Wars -- 70.50.151.11 (talk) 05:27, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
- Since Hercules (2014 film) is now the title for the other film, maybe a Template:Distinguish-sign saying "Not to be confused with..." could be useful? - FakirNL (talk) 12:26, 11 July 2014 (UTC)
Minor edits
editMade some minor edits to the plot summary. Don't know why King Galenus was linked to Galen of Pergamon, since they clearly aren't the same person. Also not sure if the Agamemnon in the cast list is supposed to be the Agamemnon of Trojan War fame (I don't even remember seeing Luke Newberry in the movie, and I just watched it twice back-to-back), but I'll leave that for future debate.

WHo played Hera? Not in the cast list, either here or IMDB. Also any explanation for her facial tattoos? Sussmanbern (talk) 07:08, 14 September 2014 (UTC)
- My understanding was that the character in question was a priestess possessed by Hera, not the actual goddess, thus Hera technically does not appear. I think the priestess is named Kakia (linked in the article to the goddess of that name), played by Mariah Gale as listed in the article (and in IMDb, where Gale is pictured).
- I've just watched a 55-minute version (on My5), not the full 99 minutes, so perhaps Spartan198 also saw an edited version, with Agamemnon's scenes cut. The whole film plays fast and loose with the original history/legends: Heracles (his Greek name, 'Hercules' being Latin) reputedly did sack Troy, but before the time of King Agamemnon and The Trojan war. Note also that Hebe was a full blown goddess (daughter of Zeus and Hera, and therefore Heracles' half-sister), not a Cretan princess, though she did marry Heracles, becoming his third or fourth wife: his second or third, Deianira, had murdered him, but only his mortal part died. The original Chiron (as wikilinked in the article) was a centaur. Other liberties are also taken.
- Incidentally, the 'Official website' in the External links appears to have been hijacked by a sports news site. {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 90.220.215.83 (talk) 08:15, 12 June 2018 (UTC)
No Production information
editThis article is missing information on the film's production which should be added to the article.--Paleface Jack (talk) 18:57, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
