Watch this total corn moment in Gladiator where he goes from kneeling with a sword about to be stabbed through his neck to a standing headbutt where the sword has somehow gone off to the side. Russel Crowe has powerful stand up muscles.

How was Robin Hood? I never saw it but it looked kinda like it trying to channel some Gladiator vibes. All I know is that it has a medieval invasion/landing alla D-Day and that sounds just delightful.

Everyone in it is in a different movie and the day is saved by children on shetland ponies. Seriously.

gladiator is one of the coolest movies ever, a must watch for any red blooded man

Where does Maximus's servant dude say the army is camped though? I never understood him because he had some weird rear end lisp accent. Is he saying Austria?

Gladiator because Braveheart is dumb as gently caress and not historically accurate in any way despite claiming it is.

And there would be too much gay pedophile buttsecks.

Because Gladiator is a story about a made up gladiator killing a made up emperor based in Roman times, whereas Braveheart is supposedly about a real thing that happened apart from William Wallace was nothing like that and hardly anything in the film is historically accurate.

Instead now you have every dumb Scot or American who has like 1 Scottish ancestor generations ago using a dumb Hollywood film to inform them of the plight of Scotland. Which mainly revolves around the fact they are drunk fools with poor diets who spend all their money on dumb poo poo.

Roman arena had everything, in later years they even filled the arena with water and had mini-naval battles.

Braveheart was a moniker given to Robert the Bruce and has nothing to do with William Wallace. Says it all, really.
