Repeatedly Quentin Tarantino has praised Xena. In an interview for Double Dare, Tarantino said, “Xena has no apologies. Xena is a really cool show. It’s got cool characters. Lucy Lawless is terrific in it. I love that girl who plays Callisto, and the action in it is a lot of fun. The scripts are really good. There’s really cool storytelling going on. The backstory of Xena’s character is quite magnificent.”

Co-producer, Robert Tapert, loved Hong Kong action films so much so that it influences the series. Xena often had Kung fu-style fight scenes and also exaggerated sound effects, such as the whooshing noise of a characters’ movement and their weapons.
