What's left behind the scenes
- The film's screenplay was written by Mel Gibson and Benedict Fitzgerald based on the four canonical gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
- During the torture scenes, actor James Caviezel experienced the sting of a whip against his bare skin twice. The first time, the blow only knocked him off his feet, but the second time, James dislocated his wrist.
- Once during filming, James Caviezel was struck by lightning, but the actor sustained absolutely no injuries. Many observers attributed this event to divine anger.
- When it became known that the film would be entirely in Latin and Aramaic, Mel Gibson stated that he wanted to remove the subtitles altogether. However, later, at the insistence of distributors, subtitles were still included. Generally, it was a very risky move, as many American moviegoers are so spoiled that they can't even handle dubbing.
- In the crucifixion scene, viewers see the real James Caviezel. Mel Gibson decided to forgo computer animation and relied solely on the help of makeup artists.
- When James Caviezel auditioned, he was completely confident that he would be filming a movie about windsurfing. However, upon learning that he had been entrusted with the role of Jesus, he did not refuse.
- Maya Morgenstern, who played the role of Jesus’ mother, was pregnant during filming. She carefully concealed this news from the entire film crew. By the time it was discovered, it was no longer possible to replace the actress.
- On the very first day of the film's showing, during the crucifixion scene, 56-year-old Peggy Scott fainted. She later died in one of the hospitals in Kansas.
- All the characters speak the languages they would have spoken two thousand years ago. Jews, including Christ and the apostles, speak Aramaic, and Romans speak 'vulgar Latin'.
- The crucifixion scenes were filmed in the city of Matera in southern Italy, near the place where Pier Paolo Pasolini filmed 'The Gospel According to St. Matthew' (1964).
- Mel Gibson is a traditionalist Catholic. He disagrees with the Vatican on the issue of the language in which religious services should be conducted. Gibson believes it should be only in Latin. Mel Gibson's daughter stated in 2002 that she wanted to become a nun.
- Mel Gibson knew he would need the world's best makeup artists to make the scenes of flogging and crucifixion as realistic as possible. For filming these episodes, James Caviezel was made up for seven hours every day.
- James Caviezel didn't have to invent how to portray physical suffering – he actually experienced it. His body was covered in blisters from the multi-layered makeup, and he couldn't sleep. The cross that Caviezel carried to Golgotha was not a prop – it weighed about 70 kilograms. Although the filming took place in winter, the actor was dressed only in a lion's skin. He often became so cold that he couldn't speak – his frozen face had to be warmed so he could move his lips at least a little.
- Mel Gibson donated $100 million from the film's box office to the Catholic Church.
- In order not to portray Jews as guilty of Jesus's death, the film omits the cry of the Jews, “His blood be on us and on our children!,” which appears in the Gospel.
- Even before its release, the film caused great controversy. Concerns were raised that it could provoke anti-Semitic sentiment, especially among Muslims in the Middle East. The authorities in Malaysia allowed the film to be shown only to Christians. For this purpose, tickets were allowed to be sold exclusively in Christian churches belonging to the National Evangelical Christian Fellowship of Malaysia. In addition to the ban on viewing by Muslims, the authorities also banned advertising of the film.
- In the film, nails go through the palms, while on the Turin Shroud they go through the wrists. Nails through the palms cannot support the weight of a crucified body.
- The film's screenplay was written by Mel Gibson and Benedict Fitzgerald based on the four canonical gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
- During the torture scenes, actor James Caviezel twice experienced being struck by a whip on bare skin. The first time, the strike only knocked him to the ground, but after receiving a second strike, James dislocated his wrist.
- Once during filming, James Caviezel was struck by lightning, but the actor sustained absolutely no injuries. Many observers attributed this event to the wrath of God.
- When it became known that the film would be entirely in Latin and Aramaic, Mel Gibson stated he wanted to remove the subtitles altogether. However, later, at the insistence of distributors, subtitles were still added. In general, it was a very risky move, as many American moviegoers are so spoiled that they can't even tolerate dubbing.

He often became so cold that he couldn't speak – his frozen face had to be warmed so he could move his lips even a little.
- In two films in a row – “The Passion of the Christ” and “Apocalypse” – Mel Gibson reproduces the same astronomical error: on the night before the main events, he depicts a full moon, and during the day – a solar eclipse. However, according to the laws of celestial mechanics, these events are always separated by an interval of 14-15 days.
