Did You Know?

Trivia

Although Alan Moore uses "Quatermain", and this is often considered the canonical spelling of the character's name, H. Rider Haggard himself occasionally used "Quartermain", and that spelling is used several times throughout the movie (especially obviously on the grave marker). See more »

Goofs

Tom Sawyer says that he is from the "American Secret Service". However, the correct name of the agency is the "United States Secret Service", not the "American Secret Service" and this is not a mistake many agents would make (especially since the acronym for "American secret service" would be "ASS", and no self respecting secret agent would admit that he is an agent of "ass").

Surprisingly entertaining
26 October 2006 | by (London, UK) – See all my reviews

Having been critically panned by both film critics and fans of the original comic book version, you'd be forgiven for thinking that the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (which is hardly a league of "Gentlemen" considering the presence of a female character) was absolute rubbish. However, despite the flagrant misuse of characters established in classic Literature (Dracula, The Picture of Dorian Gray, The Invisible Man, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea and especially The Adventures of Tom Sawyer) there is an essentially a massively fun film to be found, made all the more enjoyable if you disengage your brain and just don't question the ridiculous goings on of the alternate Victorian universe the film is set in.

So in conclusion, if a night of brainless action adventure fun is what you'r after, then the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is sufficiently enjoyable material.
