  • Music and sound effects were dubbed into the silent film for a 1931 re-release.

  • The Thames Silent/Warner Home Video DVD alters several scenes:
    • In the Chariot Race, a titled exchange by Messala and the Greek driver, originally superimposed on a scene of a charging chariot, is changed to title cards on a black background.
    • In the Crucifixion, a close-up of Christ's nailed hand, gesturing a blessing before dying, is omitted.


  • Nudity was often censored from the film. Shots of topless flower girls and the nude prisoner in the slave galley were deleted from a majority of prints that were in circulation before restoration of the picture began.

  • Many prints re-printed the Technicolor scenes in black and white.
