- During preparation for filming, in order to recreate the scenes of the 2000-year-old disaster as accurately as possible, the creators carefully studied video footage of real natural phenomena – earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tornadoes.
- One of the largest cities of the Roman Empire, Pompeii, with its majestic temples, arenas, and baths, was recreated thanks to grand sets. Only a third of the film's environment was made using computer graphics.
- To film large-scale scenes, cinematographer Glen McPherson created an original construction: he attached a camera to a remotely controlled helicopter, which rose to a height of over 60 meters. This allowed the creators to obtain unique shots, allowing the audience to see the history and tragedy of Pompeii on a scale of place and time.
- At the beginning of the film, when little Milo crawls out of a pile of corpses, you can see a finger twitching on one of them.

- In reality, thumb gestures during gladiatorial combat differed significantly from those shown to audiences today. A downward-pointing thumb from a statesman meant that the victor should plunge his sword into the sand and that the losing gladiator would be spared. A thumb pointed upwards, conversely, symbolized the need to deliver a fatal blow.
- Kit Harington, who played the main character, trained seriously before filming began. After reading the script, he gained over 12 kg of muscle mass through physical exercise and a strict diet over five weeks. After that, he spent another four weeks sculpting his muscles and reduced his weight to 63.5 kg. The actor later claimed that he was in such excellent physical shape for the first time in his life.
- The opening scene shows Milo as a child in Britain, and the action takes place in 62 AD, when Pompeii was severely damaged during a volcanic eruption. Some buildings and structures in the city were never repaired by 79 AD, when the eruption of Vesuvius depicted in the film occurred, destroying Pompeii.
- The hero played by Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje wears armor that was worn by Dennis Quaid in Rob Cohen's adventure action film "Heart and Souls" (1996).
- Keith Harrington's gladiator costume in the opening scene was created specifically to showcase the actor's abdominal muscles, but by the start of filming, the actor had not developed those muscles sufficiently, and the filming of the opening scene was postponed for a while so the actor could prepare properly.
- A significant portion of the scenes with Carrie-Anne Moss's character were cut during editing.
- Kiefer Sutherland's character tells the character played by Jared Harris that the senate will not invest money in Pompeii, but he will – privately. Senators in ancient Rome were subject to strict rules. They were not allowed to leave the territory of the empire without the permission of the other senators, always had to wear a toga (with rare exceptions), were prohibited from owning large ships capable of engaging in international trade, and were not allowed to engage in any banking activities. Therefore, the actions of Sutherland's character would have led to his expulsion from the senate, confiscation of all his wealth, and exile, or even execution.
- Among the ash-covered remains, archaeologists discovered two bodies embraced (though not in the poses depicted in the film), now known as "The Lovers." They were initially believed to be a young couple, then members of the same family, but DNA analysis revealed they were young men around twenty years old, and not related to each other. A corpse of a large man, likely from North Africa, was also found near the arena.
