Any fans out there of the book DUNE who are also fans of this movie?
In DUNE there are two duels: one with Feyd Rautha and a gladiator. And another with Feyd and Paul Atreides. It seems to me that there are some similarities between these two duels and the one between Commodus and Maximus. Am I mistaken?

Recently tried to watch Cruise’s ‘The Mummy’.
Crowe STOLE the whole movie. His role of Jeckyll and Hyde was brilliant. Crowe could have carried a spin off movie all by himself.
We have fine actors. The screenwriters, though....

Any Crowe fan must see Romper Stomper.

During production in Malta he went out one day and quite literally drank himself to death. According to Wikipedia (i.e., 'the font of all knowledge' ;^):
"[Reed] drank eight pints of German lager, a dozen shots of rum, half a bottle of whiskey and a few shots of Hennessy cognac, in a drinking match against a group of sailors on shore leave from HMS Cumberland at a local pub."
Since it was probably ingested over a period of several hours, I doubt it would actually kill most serious drinkers...

I remember the canister in the back of the chariot. Perhaps it's a pagan idol, that just happens to look like a cylinder of compressed gas...

There is a fifteen year old series called Rome, which has three years of episodes for free. If you have Amazon Prime. Also look at Anthony Everetts books and Tom Hollands as well. There has been so many books on Roman history in the last 30 years it is great.

That’s it. The canister. The car is in a different movie. Sorry

Well, maybe it didn’t kill him... but how was he still on his feet?!
