To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.
At the beginning of the movie, when they are inspecting the "newborn" baby to determine his worthiness, the baby is at least several weeks old (the umbilical cord is gone and the navel is healed). [It would still be considered a "newborn" baby if it was a few weeks old. And it stands to reason that the Spartans would wait a while before giving a healthy-looking baby its final inspection, as it might take a while for signs of weakness or sickness to be obvious.]

In the last battle scene, Leonidas tells Xerxes that he has 300 hundred soldiers behind him. when in fact many of the Spartans were killed by the first wave of immortals and various other Persians. [The number of soldiers rounds up to 300. Leonidas wasn't going to say "I've got 273 soldiers behind me." It just sounds better to say it the way he did.]

When Leonidas visits the wise men and the Oracle at the top of the mountain, one of them mentions that it was August, and that Sparta wouldn't fight in that time of the year. August wasn't so named until 8 B.C after Caesar Augustus. Since this movie is set in 480 B.C., the month of August would not have existed yet. [These people didn't speak English either. The language has been changed to someting we would understand. So whatever the Spartan name for that time of year would have been was translated into modern english: August.]

When the giant obese "executioner" decapitates the warrior, the head flies straight up into the air, even though the blow was delivered from above, and would realistically make the head fly downwards. [Not really. Because of the tension in the muscles of the neck, the head can actually go upwards when decapitation occurs. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction, and when the neck is suddenly pushed downward from the blade, the muscles have a momentary rebound, which can cause the head to go up, instead of down.]
