Trivia
In the books, it takes Percy almost half the book to find out that his father is Poseiden. But in the film, he finds out almost right after entering Camp Half-Blood.

In Greek mythology, Chiron was a centaur and a master of the healing arts, and passed that knowledge on to the mortal hero Asclepius.
Share this
Chiron was also known for training several heroes: Asclepius, Aristaeus, Ajax, Aeneas, Actaeon, Caeneus, Theseus, Achilles, Jason, Peleus, Telamon, Perseus, and Heracles.

Goofs
When Chiron in centaur form walks, he looks strange - but it's not because of bad CGI. It's because a horse, like all four-legged animals, walks with a four-beat gait; whereas whoever animated Chiron clearly didn't know this and tried to force the "walk" into a two-beat, unnatural gait.
Share this
In one scene, when Percy is new to the camp, he & Chiron are talking alone by the lake. When the camera is on Chiron, Chiron's arms are folded. But, when the camera switches to Percy, Chiron's arms are suddenly down.
Share this
Both Percy and Annabeth are teenagers and in a real Las Vegas casino would not have been allowed to roam unaccompanied in the gaming area without someone over the age of 21. However, Lotus isn't a "real Las Vegas casino," it is an illusion specifically there to detain people, including underage demigods.

Quotes
Luke: Percy Jackson! Well, you're weren't supposed to make it out alive. I can't let you that bolt to Olympus. I'm the lightning thief.

Annabeth Chase: [leaning in as if to kiss Percy, then swiping his sword] First rule of battle strategy. Don't ever let your opponent distract you.

Grover: GPS from the gods. Where to next?

Q
How much sex, violence, and profanity are in this movie?
A
For detailed information about the amounts and types of (a) sex and nudity, (b) violence and gore, (c) profanity, (d) alcohol, drugs, and smoking, and (e) frightening and intense scenes in this movie, consult the IMDb Parents Guide for this movie. The Parents Guide for Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief can be found here.
Q
Will there be more movies based on the other Percy Jackson novels?
A
A second movie in this series is currently in production, based on the second book, Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters (2013). All main actors (Percy, Annabeth, Grover and Luke) signed a three movie contract. Therefore, Percy Jackson and the Titan's Curse should be filmed as well.
Q
Isn't the Underworld supposed to be a nice and beautiful place? Why is it like hell in this movie?
A
The filmmakers wanted to make the Underworld a bit more menacing to reflect the character of Hades in the film. The choice to make it more "Christian themed" was to make it just that. In Greek Mythology, the underworld has no fire, burning, and torture, all that only resides in Tarturus and The Phlegethon, or river of fire. There is also Cerberus, Hades' three headed dog and guard of the Underworld, which is excluded from the movie but present in the book. The Elysian Fields, where the good souls go as reward in the afterlife, is also excluded. In the book, this is where Hades lives in his Palace, and is described as fields with a lake, mansions around it, and just perfect paradise for anyone. Also in the book is a place called the Fields of Asphodel, where the people who wish to avoid judgment or those who did not do either good or bad in their lives go. It, like its inhabitants, is neither a bad nor really good place to go.
