[edit] Background Information
- A clip of this movie was featured in "Yes, Virginia, There is a Hercules."
- Zeus's appearance in the film is based on Anthony Quinn's portrayal in the Universal Action Pack films.
- Though featuring the same major characters and the (mostly) same cast, this movie is generally not considered canonical to HTLJ and XWP. Some elements, however, later made their way into the live-action series, including:
- Mnemosyne appeared in "Let There Be Light" as a CGI fire creature, very similar in appearance to this film.
- The Kronos stone, mentioned in earlier productions as simply a time-travel device, is confirmed in "The Prize" and later "Love, Amazon Style" to give gods "power greater than Zeus." This matches the ability of the stone as seen in this film.
- Though not identified as such, a character bearing a strong resemblance to Salmoneus makes a brief appearance.
- Xena references the events of "The Reckoning".
- The original video featured a preview for the Young Hercules movie.
