The actor playing Niso, Benito Stefanelli, also did some of the stunts, trained the other actors in fencing and choreographed the sword-fights.
Ascanio was portrayed by an 11-year-old boy named Charles Band who would grow up to become an exploitation filmmaker, founder of Media Home Entertainment, Empire Pictures, and Full Moon Productions.
Submitted to the British Board of Film Censors by Compton-Cameo under the title War of the Trojans. Passed with a "U" certificate on 21 April 1964. Compton screened the press preview at its own Compton Cinema, Old Compton Street, on 28 May 1964 (one showing at 10:30 am for press and trade only). Though primarily a cinema club showing uncensored films for members only, Compton used this venue for trade shows during the mornings. War of the Trojans was not taken up by the major Rank and ABC circuits, but Compton nevertheless sent the film to a very large number of cinemas, opening at the De Luxe, Hastings, on 28 June 1964. The distribution went on right into the 1970s, after which it vanished from the UK for many years. British distributor Mercury Video released it on VHS in 1984 under the title "The Last Glory of Troy", but this was an uncut 100-minute print, not the shortened US version also known as "The Avenger".
Italian censorship visa #38951 issued 11/27/62.
