Background Information

 * Lucy Lawless, who played Lysia, would go on to play Xena in Xena: Warrior Princess.
 * Iolaus dies for the first time, but originally, he was not going to be brought back to life by the movie's end. He was intended to stay dead. However, Michael Hurst greatly impressed Rob Tapert and company with his performance. They changed the movie's ending to include the Zeus time travel twist that allows Hercules to prevent his friend's death, which made it possible to feature Iolaus in later stories.
 * Rose McIver would later play Ilea, Hercules' daughter.
 * With help from Iolaus, Hercules slays the Hydra. According to the myths, the slaying of the Hydra was the second of the Twelve Labors. Most of the other labors would in some way be featured or referenced in following movies or episodes of HTLJ.
 * Hippolyta and the Amazons factor into the ninth labor, which saw Heracles/Hercules seek Hippolyta's girdle.
 * Michael Hurst is one of the few major actors (if not the only one) to be involved in every part of the media franchise. He has made appearances in the TV-Movies series, HTLJ, XWP, The Battle for Mt. Olympus , Young Hercules and YH. He also directed Amazon High (as well as episodes of HTLJ and XWP).
