Huh. That does not make me want to see it very much.
2Glad2iator; I can see this becoming a franchise with some legs… and arms… and severed heads.
Needs more Gauls…
Maximus: Roman Drift
heh, was in an actual movie theater ~2000ish watching the original, and at the point where Russell Crowe shouts “Are you not entertained!?” there was a couple in front of me who made the ‘so-so’ wobble open hand gesture.
Wasn’t that Ben Hur?
Ooh, a further episode based around street-racing chariots and leading to the plucky underdog ending up in a deadly race in the Circus Maximus could be great. They would need to put oil lamps under chariots for that proper street-racing vide.
Edit: @BakaNeko
Don’t let your eagerness for chariots lead you to watching Pompeii with Kiefer Sutherland and Kit Harington.
I warned you!
I’ll stick to “Up Pompeii!!”, with Francis Howard; or maybe not, it has probably aged like unpasteurized milk.
Fair enough. It’s ok, tittering is not mandatory.
Gladiator II: The Gladening
Emperor: Maximus, you seem angry. What’s wrong?
Maximus: Of course I’m angry! You condemned me to slavery and fed my wife to your pet lion, you bastard!
Emperor: But I thought you said you were Gladiator?
