Trivia
Ben Affleck was virtually blind, as he had to wear heavy-duty contact lenses, which blocked out most of his vision.

Goofs
In all her battles, Elektra uses her sais in a very incorrect manner. She has her fingers in between the prongs, which eliminates the sai's primary purpose, which is to trap an opponent's weapon. The way she holds her sais actually puts her fingers in danger. Plus, the sais are blunt weapons, not sharp.

Quotes
Matt Murdock: Her name's Elektra Natchios.
Franklin 'Foggy' Nelson: Well, she sounds like a Mexican appetizer.
Matt Murdock: It's Greek, genius. Her father's Nikolas Natchios.
Franklin 'Foggy' Nelson: The billionaire?
Matt Murdock: Yeah, see? Yes, the billionaire.
Franklin 'Foggy' Nelson: Well, then, as your attorney in this matter I advise you to marry the woman immediately.
Matt Murdock: I'll take it under consideration.

Crazy credits
For the first time, a sound effect of pages turning is added to the Marvel logo (aptly for a blind superhero who works through a radar sense).

Alternate versions
In current prints, the 20th Century Fox logo is replaced with the Disney logo.

Featured review

One of the worst Marvel films ever created!

Cliché followed by cliché, Daredevil has fallen short of the line currently necessary to belong in the film industry. The film is tedious and much too long, with too many false-endings and self-realisations for all characters. Furthermore, the characters are completely frustrating and annoying! So annoying that you manage to develop hate for basically all of them. As mentioned, false-endings are evident, with over-the-top fight sequences and terrible choreography. It is absolutely cringe-worthy. The acting is atrocious (especially for the antagonists of the film). Stay away from the film; a suggestion: go watch paint dry on a wall instead!
