Continuity mistake: While Ajax and Hector fight, Hector head butts Ajax, and three shots later in a wide shot, half of the hammer end of his unusual spear actually breaks and falls to the ground behind him to his left. But lo and behold, in the next close-up the bloody hammer end (bloodier than the previous shot) of his spear is whole and intact. (01:20:00)

Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Wolfgang Petersen
Starring: Brad Pitt, Sean Bean, Brendan Gleeson, Brian Cox, Peter O'Toole, Eric Bana, Orlando Bloom, Saffron Burrows, Julian Glover
The Greeks build a wooden horse and leave it on the beach of Troy, all while pretending to sail away. The Trojans take the Horse (thinking it to be an offering to the gods) into the city. However it was filled with Greecian warriors, which attack the city come night, burning the entire city down and leaving no Trojans alive. Helen escapes through a secret tunnel with Hector's wife, baby, and other Trojans. The king of Troy is killed by Agamemnon (a spear through the stomach)and Achilles was shot with arrows in 5 different places, by Paris who escapes with Briesis through the tunnel.

Hector: All my life I've lived by a code; and the code is simple: Honor the gods, love your woman, and defend your country. Troy is mother to us all. Fight for her!
Trivia: Near the end of the movie, Paris hands the Sword of Troy off to a young man called Aeneas saying something along the lines of "Troy will always have a future so long as this sword is held by a Trojan." This was a little nod to Virgil's Aeneid which describes the travels of Aeneas after the Trojan War and who was an antecedent of Romulus and Remus (the legendary founders of Rome).
