  I was one of the Barbarians in the first battle. A lot of students from the local university including me were extras.. <br>it was filmed in Bourne Woods in Surrey 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿… The area was scheduled for deforestation so Ridley could go nuts .. A lot of the fires were real .. My only regret was I wasn’t chosen to be a Roman as they got 4 weeks extra work as more scenes &amp; had to learn to march &amp; behave as an Army Unit .. I met Russell , Ridley &amp; Richard Harris .. Joaquin was not in the scenes we did … The making of this movie is a really good watch 😀👍

  The performance of Russell Crowe in Gladiator is literally one of the greatest acting performances i have ever seen

  They were going to have this big final battle at the end but didn’t have the budget so they switched it to Commodus and Maximus fighting one on one at the end. The famous phrase “Are you not entertained?!” was considered very bad but the script writer couldn’t think of anything else. Ridley Scott was very upset and yelled at him “You’re lucky you have the best actor in the world to say this line!” Gosh I love movie trivia 😂

  Quick FYI: Commodus stabbed Maximus between his ribs into his lung, thus most likely creating a tension pneumothorax (air leaks into the chest cavity which compresses the lung and prevents it from expanding) as evidenced by Maximus&apos; increased work of breathing. This coupled with the blood loss seen soaking the left side of his costume (and why he&apos;s protecting his left side) would cause his lungs to fill with air and press the structure of the chest cavity including his heart, making it unable to pump, and thus die. It is a medical emergency and the way in which Russell Crowe portrayed the breathlessness, the increased weakening from blood loss and oxygen, but the absolute resolve to avenge his family was incredible acting.

  Joaquin’s performance is so great that I still don’t trust any character he plays.

  Fun fact: the battle scene at the beginning was filmed in the woods of my town. Farnham, England! I was a kid and remember seeing all these Roman soldiers coming out of cars and take cigarette breaks in town 😂👍🏻🇬🇧

  The actor who played Proximo (the Gladiator trainer) was Oliver Reed. He was an extraordinary british actor, with a very interesting, fascinating and atypical life. He also was known for his alcoholism, having some scandals on TV and cinema as a consequence of this. During the filming of Gladiator in 1999, he sadly passed away. He had been sober for months, but one night (during a break from filming the movie) in an Irish pub in Malta (after a bet), he drank three bottles of Jamaican rum, eight bottles of German beer, numerous double whiskeys and challenged five young English sailors of the Royal Navy to arm-wrestling at The Pub bar (which after this incident was called Ollie&apos;s Last Pub). His bill, which was never paid, is preserved in a decorative frame in the bar.

  A classic. This is how you make an epic story. The hero and the villain feel equally important

  So the story is VERY loosely based on historical events, but the best change was having Russell Crowe’s character name be changed from Narcissus, which was the real man’s name, to Maximus.<br><br>Also Commodus was actually killed by being drowned in his bathtub, but it’s MUCH more satisfying to see him killed in the Colosseum.

  Phoenix&apos;s Commodus is a gift to humanity. &nbsp;It goes so much deeper than any of the other characters.
