Directed by: William Wyler
Starring: Charlton Heston, Jack Hawkins, Stephen Boyd, Haya Harareet
Continuity mistake: The chariot race begins with 9 chariots. During the race, 6 of them crash (including Messala's), but after Judah crosses the finish line, we see there are still 3 chariots behind him, making a total of 10.
Suggested correction: Sorry, but this has been marked as a duplicate mistake. The original mistake (https://www.moviemistakes.com/film143/entry950) has been listed since 2001.
Visible crew/equipment: During the chariot race, just as Judah (stunt double) flips over in his chariot in the wide shot, a low angle camera is visible on the track under a canopy, at the right side of the screen.
Quintus Arrius: Your eyes are full of hate, forty-one. That's good. Hate keeps a man alive. It gives him strength.
Trivia: The 'Greek chariot' Mesalla uses in the race is based on the Persian scythed chariots which Darius III attempted to use against Alexander the Great's troops at the battle of Gaugamela, though with only insignificant success.
