Trivia:
This film is adapted from Nikos Kazantzakis' controversial 1955 novel of the same name.
Willem Dafoe who plays Jesus, couldn't see for three days, because he got too many eye drops to dilate the pupils of his eyes in bright sunlight to achieve a superhuman effect.
Martin Scorsese had wanted to make a film version on the life of Jesus Christ ever since his childhood.
Smoking was banned from the set by Martin Scorsese, both because he's a severe asthmatic, and to avoid any photographs being taken of actors and actresses playing Biblical characters, primarily Willem Dafoe, who smoked at the time, with cigarettes hanging out of their mouths.
