8) Ok I have a question. If you think I am wrong get the 2 films lol

At the start of the film, there is a big fight. Romans one side, Celts or whatever the other. As they come out of the forest they are chanting.

Ummmmm I have heard that chant/war cry before. Its taken straight from Zulu, they even say ZULUUUUU as they charge into battle. I wonder if they paid any money to use that.

Just wondering. Love it when film companys screw up and use something they hope no one will notice lol

Yes, I noticed that the first time I saw it and thought it pretty stupid.

Maybe if you watch the DVD with Ridley Scott's commentary on, you can hear him explain why he used that.

On the extras DVD, there is a deleted scene of Maximus witnessing Christians being on the same bill with the lions in the Colosseum. I guess the film was powerful enough though without that part.

lol Not wanting to splash out on the DVD , why did he do it???
