It's definitely still one of my favorites. While the sequel has me nervous, I am sort of interested to see what Ridley does with the amazing new cast. Hopefully it surprises us the way Blade Runner 2049 did. 🙏

Tony ,let me tell you, next to Casey, Frank is your best guest! He is just so nice and down to earth in contrast to your...well...you do ok Tony. Please more Casey/Frank Episodes!
The Barbarian horde battle recreation in the arena with my favorite scene of the movie. Maximus organizing the Gladiators was cool. I saw the Air Canister in The Chariot and didn't rooting the scene
My buddies all assumed those guys were Celts so, being good male teens who just found out about their Scottish heritage, went crazy for this scene. My family is predominantly from Eastern Europe so I thought their exuberance was quant.
Djimon Honsu is a really good actor, that doesn't get enough love...he was one of the fans choices to play Kratos 10 or 15 years ago when we were all fantasy casting a God Of War movie
Hack The Movies- Thanks for the memory refresher around 15:16-16:01 about Silvio Berlusconi. I completely forgot about him, at first & I was like "That was the guy who was convicted of tax fraud, suffered the consequences, returned to the Italian Senate after winning a seat in the 2022 Italian general election & died of C.M.M.L., 8½ months later.".
The extended cut is far superior to the garbage theatrical version. There were so many things in the theatrical that didn't make sense that were cut for some reason and actually make sense once the context is put back.

Derek Jacobi, who plays Graccus back in the early 70s starred in a BBC miniseries called I Claudius it was fantastic! It even has a young John Hurt and a Patrick Stewart with hair!
There was only ever one continuing story that was worth following into a sequel after this movie (if any), and it was what would happen to Djimon Hounsou's character immediately after the events of the original, and he is too old to play that now, so this is a very bad idea.
The 1st time I saw this movie was freshman year HS, 2000-01. Our history teacher threw it on claiming it was the most accurate depiction of Rome. He was arrested the next year by the FBI. You be the judge on the accuracy of his claims.

One of the best movies of all time. Its one of those must watch films that makes you understand why people love movies so much. The music, the acting, and imagery all gets me right in the feels like few movies do. And plus as an action movie fanboy the action and gore is 10/10. Its nasty and i love it.
Tony really know his history about the trojin war in his roman attire. "Friends, Romans, country men. Lend me your ears 🌽." @HackTheMovies: question tony have you seen the Last Voyage of the demeter yet? If so can you do a review of it with Joe and Sean from Movie Dumpster on your show.
Scar from lion king is the hero, obviously a little child couldn't control an entire kingdom. Also his plan to make peace with the hyenas and expanding his territory was definitely the best course
I'm amazed that toward the end when you where talking about inaccuracies in biographical movies that you brought up Cocaine Bear but not Quentin Tarantino movies such as Inglorious Bastards and especially Once Upon A Time In Hollywood.
I don't know why people feel the need to talk about literal fictional films like Inglorious Basterds or Once Upon a Time in Hollywood as if they're documentaries. Literally none of those things in either movie actually happened.
Are you not entertained? The gladiator sequel has been in development hell for the past 20 years... Just let it die. The original script that they had was so freaking ridiculous It literally involved god resurrecting Maximus decimals from the dead.
Like the short hair look Tony, only thing is you should get a shape up to make the cut look better, it would help with your hairline. Stay blessed brotha loved the review
I think I've only ever seen this once on TV twenty years ago and I thought it was boring back then. I saw in a documentary that "thumbs-down" meant to spare the gladiator, to put your sword into the sand. To kill them, you thrust your thumb towards your neck, indicating stabbing them in the throat.
I for whatever reason have never liked this movie. Although I haven't seen it in many years. So maybe if I watched it again I wouldn't be bored out of my mind like I was when I was younger.
if it was titled "the gladiator " i would say no sequal. but "gladiator" leans more towards it being a series fallowing the story of various gladiators
It's hilarious to me that, as amazing and timeless is this movie is, and as many Oscars as it has, that it still got snowed at the award ceremony that buy a movie called Cabaret. A poorly shot musical complete with burlesque numbers starring Liza Minnelli. The Oscars really have a thing for musicals apparently. 🤣 Because looking at the two films side-by-side, there's legitimately no way it should have taken some of the Oscars away from Gladiator that it did. They're not even in the same ballpark cinematically. I think it was a case of the Academy not liking to recognize big studio action films because they're not "art" enough in their eyes.
I was about to correct you about Hannibal, but you corrected it before I could. But luckily I can still correct you, Hannibal was a Carthaginian General, not whatever hell you said.
I wasn't going to comment, but then Tony got on Frank's case for saying "supposably" instead of supposedly. Tony, you keep saying "inneresting" instead of interesting, then you said "borin" when you meant boring. Glass houses, man. Glass houses. 😉👍

Musician Nick Cave wrote a script treatment for a proposed sequel to this and it was so outrageous that it might have just worked in the right hands. Look it up if you're interested in where the story could have gone.
Back in the 60s70s channel 9 in nyc would show the Mighty Sons of Hercules. All English dubbed Italian gladiator films. Don’t be so quick to criticize Godzilla dubbing
Hack The Movies- Thanks for the memory refresher around 39:41-41:13 about Oliver Reed.
I completely forgot that he passed away in mid-1999.
Started with AVGN, got into rental reviews, and now I’ve been watching hack the movies for the last couple years. Keep it coming Tony
Gawd, how I hated Commodus in this.
One of the most satisfying villain deaths in movie history.
What up Rob. Hope you're doin' good bud.
ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED!?

This was Scarface for dudes in the early 2000s who wore SOBE T-shirts, camo cargo shorts, and Oakley sunglasses. Pretty dope movie, though.
Okay had the shorts drank the SOBE, different glass more black flys
You don’t dress like that still? Cargo shorts for life. 😊

Loved that series. It’s very compelling and once it gets going, you can’t stop watching.

Russell taking off his armor in Robin Hood made me realize i couldn't survive in the past. I cant wear the same shirt for more than a few hours.
Finally someone is talking about gladiator with Cuba gooding jr
He trusted him enough to play Robin Hood
Unlike some Robin hoods I can talk with an English accent

Fun Fact: one of the executioners for Maximus was Michael Sheen
Which one?
@@tigertank06 I think it’s when he was about to execute him. I watched it on Prime Video and it told me the cast for that scene.
3:33 Crowe put on an accent early on in production and Scott quickly canned the idea :)
Weeeee!!!! FRAAAAANK!!
I was gonna say Thank God It’s Frank!
One of the best movies of all time. Its one of those must watch films that makes you understand why people love movies so much.

2000's Gladiator Was American Film Critic Jay Sherman's Second Best Film Of 2000 On His Best Of 2000 List.
When you make it big you have to give Tony a cameo in every film you do
the reason for thomas flanagan scars was due to a fight in a scottish bar in the 80s and scaring is called the "Glasgow Smile"
Franklynn is an S-tier thespian. No kaps allowed.
Your marquee is obstructed on one of the cameras and now I want a Gladiator prequel called "Ladiator."
Tony really know his history about the trojin war in his roman attire. "Friends, Romans, country men. Lend me your ears 🌽."
@HackTheMovies: question tony have you seen the Last Voyage of the demeter yet? If so can you do a review of it with Joe and Sean from Movie Dumpster on your show.

Ms. Debbie Did Cry On 2000's Gladiator.

My favorite Russell Crowe film. Russell Crowe is one of my all-time favorite actors.

Ridley Scott should of hired Sean Connery to play Maximus, I heard he does a great Spanish accent.
This movie was a remake of
“The Fall Of The Roman Empire” Starring those great Italian actors Steven Boyd and Alex (Obi Wan Kenobi) Guinese
Are you not entertained? The gladiator sequel has been in development hell for the past 20 years... Just let it die. The original script that they had was so freaking ridiculous It literally involved god resurrecting Maximus decimals from the dead.
only 1 thing wrong with Gladiator for me, the editing is way to quick during the action and the camera is too close
Thanks for the video!! See you later!! Stay safe.😊
Hack The Movies- What line did Frank say he liked, again around 58:19-58:23?...
“I knew your brother would send assassins, I did not realize he would send his best.”
Talking about Lucilla. Nice little dig by Maximus!
Hey Tony so the guy you were thinking of was Baron Strucker
Every time it cuts to Tony: LADIATOR. Tony already has the sequel figured out???
Like the short hair look Tony, only thing is you should get a shape up to make the cut look better, it would help with your hairline. Stay blessed brotha loved the review
Italian here also, also my favorite movie
"Your Emperor Tony is pleased to give you THE BARBARIAN HORDE!!!"
"Making movies, making songs 'n fight-in' round the world!"
Its the battle of Hannibal

😂 I’m flattered! 😊 I’m not sure it’s good for my brand though 😂
The Only Version Of 2000's Gladiator That I Prefer Is The Original Theatrical Version (155 Mins).
Hanz Zimmer and Lisa Gerrard . . . Nuff said
Ore frank more crystal and more trish!
hell yeah
This movie is intertaining
This is a movie I bought the DVD of so I can skip the dialogue and get right to the violence
Watching this movie today, makes me wonder how good (or bad ) will the Amazon God Of War show will be?
You should watch it in a double bill with carry on Cleo
Buttons putting over time on that shirt 👕
Rick and Morty used the real history 😂 1:20:24
Doin a great job Tony. Great JOB👍!!
For someone that's a huge horror buff, how do you not know who David Hemmings is?
Ave True to Cae.. uh Antonius ?
Good digital cities? New York and king Kong 2005. I was born and raised in New York, and I would’ve sworn that it was filmed in New York.
Victor mature, kills a couple of tigers in Demetrius and the gladiators check that film out
one of the best movies ever made. the end.
ready to rumble is a manly man movie i heard.
My father was 1st generation Sicilian and he would have told you he wasn’t Italian. Italians would call us “Molies” you guys know what that means.
Nice outfit Tony!
💯
I mean, Hannibal tried bringing the elephants to Rome sooner. Just saying.
I prefer the term Dick Flick
Niceee.
👍
For the algorithm
did u hear about the indian in the cupboard
?
That Roman outfit suits you
