Movie Goof (continuity error): During the sequence when Jesus carries his cross, he often falls down. His hand placement on the cross changes several time between shots.
During production the film was originally supposed to be titled simply "The Passion". However in October 2003, it was revealed the Miramax studios already had a movie in production with that title. Mel Gibson retitled the film "The Passion of Christ". He retitled it yet again a month later in November 2003 to "The Passion of the Christ".
According to Mel Gibson, the long shot of Jesus lying in Mary's arms after having been taken from the cross, was greatly inspired by Michelangelo's famous statue "La Pietà", a work of art that inspired many other depictions of this scene.
The film begins without opening credits. The title of the film is stated only in the closing.
