Trivia:
Comic book writer Frank Miller is the man who created the character Elektra Natchios during his run for the Daredevil comics during the 80s, but he is not credited in this film. more
Goofs:
Incorrectly regarded as goofs: During one flashback, Elektra goes back to her ride in the ambulance when she dies. The paramedics use a defibrillator on her. A defibrillator is only supposed to be used on bare skin. They have it being used over a leather vest. However, this was most likely done to help connect the flashback to her final scene in Daredevil by showing the costume she wore that night, and to keep the rating PG-13. more
Quotes:

So Much Potential....., 17 April 2005
1/10
Author: irisofdarkness from United States

Elektra is part of the era of comic book adaptations, and just like "The Hulk", it falls short. The plot was terribly carried out, and the acting wasn't so great. The characters sure were interesting but not much is known about them(unless you had read the comics). Still, Elektra brings nothing new to the comic book movie series and no wonder it flopped at the box office. Only hardcore fans of the Elektra comics will find this movie interesting. It truly had so much potential that unfortunately was not used to its greatest extent, Elektra suffers just like Catwoman did, so that goes to tell you that even if a popular and beautiful actress stars in a comic book adaptation , it won't necessarily be successful.
