• Ptolemy's final words concerning the plot behind Alexander's death is based on a conspiracy that many, including Robin Lane Fox, state could be one of the best explanations to Alexander's death. However, as incorrectly put, Ptolemy was innocent of the plot, as were five others.
• Movie Goof (factual errors): It is implied during the Indian battle that Antigonus has a command over the Shield Bearers, an elite division in the Macedonian army. This was not so.
• Movie Goof (anachronisms): The fruit bowl next to Ptolemy contains Fuji apples, which were not available in 283 B.C.
• SPOILERS= On his deathbed, Alexander is asked who will inherit the empire. He whispers something incoherent, and his men are divided over whether he said "To the best" or "Craterus." This is due to the fact that the Greek words for "To the best" and "Craterus" are virtually identical.
