Fascinating Facts of ‘300: The Movie’

Did you know that after just a few glimpses of the movie ‘300’ were displayed in 2006 Comic-Con in San Diego, the audience was so fascinated by the clip that they requested to watch it three more times? That’s something! Did you know that most of the weapons used in the movie 300 were exactly the ones that were previously used in war legend movies like ‘Troy’ and ‘Alexander’ and they were just recycled for the movie to cut costs?

We presume your answers to be negative. So, let’s plunge into the trivia-lode of the movie ‘300’ and explore some of the most fascinating facts of the movie 300.

Trivia of the Movie 300

  • This epic fantasy war flick was shot fully on a stage in Montreal with green backgrounds and blue screens.
  • The director Zack Snyder never claimed the movie to be historically accurate. In an interview, he says that the fighting styles and the formations (specifically the Spartans’ phalanx) were consciously changed so as to make them “look cool” even if that resulted in an agreement with historical accuracy.
  • There are 1300 visual effect shots in the film, 1,523 cuts with over comprising 8631 visual effect elements. The movie which features 300 Spartans shouting ‘Sparta’ almost every minute actually contains the word ‘Sparta’ 72 times. This means the word Sparta is used at least .62 times per minute.
  • Remember the young leonidas in child fight training scene? It’s the director, Zack Snyder’s son who plays it.
  • Remember the actor who plays leonidas’ father’s role? He’s Tim Connolly, the actor who also played Gerard Butler’s stunt double for the film.
  • As a child, Frank Miller watched the Rudolph Maté film The 300 Spartans (1962), which featured Richard Egan as King Leonidas, and was deeply touched by it. It revised his perception of the ‘Hero’ concept as the story taught him that the hero didn’t always win and that sometimes, to be a hero, one must sacrifice oneself. Ever since he saw the movie, he has been fascinated with Thermopylae. Well, that aptly explains the passion behind the scenes!

St. Patrick’s Day – A Feast to Remember

We all have heard about St. Patrick’s Day and know that its roots are in Ireland, yet it always fascinates us. But what is it all about? Let us not limit our knowledge to Irish themed slots and know more about this celebrated day!

A little about St. Patrick and his legacy..

St. Patrick is an important figure in the history of Irish Catholic, but only few know that he wasn’t really an Irish. St. Patrick actually has his origins in the Britain! After a few ups and downs, he became a priest and spent his life converting the Irish into Christians. Today, St. Patrick’s Day is a feast day in Ireland. It is a celebrated festival, more of a feast day. Traditionally, on this day, people come together in mass to celebrate and ponder upon St. Patrick’s legacy.

You also must have noticed in Irish themed slots that a lot of green colour is used. The leprechauns are dressed in green, the theme is basically everything green! Even the flag of Ireland is green! So, why is green that important? This can be traced back to the 17th Century, when the green harp flag was used for the first time. Some even say that since St. Patrick used a lot of shamrocks, the green colour was brought in from there. Some theories also suggest that since this day comes during spring, the green colour has been associated. Hence, on St. Patrick’s it became a tradition to be dressed in green or you will be pinched for not doing so!

The Rocking Irish themed slots!

Now you know why the Leprechauns in your favourite Irish themed slots are always dressed in green! Whether you see Irish Eyes and Irish Eyes 2, or Shamrock ‘N’ Roll, you will always find Leprechaun as the main character or in the symbols. Of course you cannot miss out on the shamrock as well, the four-leaved clover. Leprechauns are considered to be lucky in the Irish traditions, so whenever you spot a weird little man dressed up all in green, consider it your lucky day! And nothing can beat the happiness when they come in large numbers!
