    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Rick Riordan, who wrote the Percy Jackson books, hated the script and has never seen the complete film. But he still accepted the paycheck from the studio for the rights and has stated he is grateful for how many people discovered the books because of the films. He also strongly advocated for the novels to be readapted, which would later happen with the Disney+ series Percy Jackson and the Olympians (2023), for which he wrote most of the teleplays.
    • Goofs
      When Percy, Annabeth, and Grover come to Luke to ask for help, he is playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (2009) with a Playstation 3 controller, while on-screen, Xbox 360 buttons are seen.
    • Quotes
      • Hades: [yelling] Persephone! What could possibly be taking so long? Don't ignore me!
      • Persephone: [yells back] Or *what*? What will you do?
      • [quietly]
      • Persephone: I'm already in Hell.
