4:25 "Maximus the Merciful!" I love that line. Unintentionally, Commodus made Maximus earn the nickname "The Merciful"; These kinds of nicknames were reserved for an emperor, not for a soldier and much less for a gladiator. Perhaps this situation would have made (this) Commodus go down in history as "Commodus the Cruel." Maximus not only killed Commodus but also took it upon himself to ruin his reputation in the Roman chronicles. "What we do in life, echoes in eternity!", that was what Maximus said at the beginning of the film.

Great comment

One of the greatest scenes in cinema history.

Top 5 of all time. Incredible, start to finish.

Hands down one of the best movies of all time.

It wasn't something 'Gladiator' expressed, but when I was a kid, I saw this movie and it showed a Centurion being more than a match for a great gladiator. And. Years later, I realized it because of the 'gear' matchup. Big shield. Spear. And toughness, which all those warriors, who wielded big shield and sword had, beats any combination of gladiator weaponry. Maybe the net and trident has a distant chance, cuz of net. That's why Maximus with the cool, medium shield is pretty cool to watch in action against Tigris of Gaul. He general. He choose shield. What a great movie.

One of the greatest movies ever made 😊 Love Russell Crowe

One of the best fight scenes in cinema. I love the fact he’s wearing a Roman Cavalry mask with a tear in one eye. Nice touch. The fight was choreographed very well. The CGI with the tigers also isn’t bad for 2000.

Tigris of Gaul is a very good friend of mine. Sven-Ole Thorsen was the European Karate champion in the late 80s and The strongest man in Denmark in 1983. Champion Body Builder and Power Lifter. He was in the First Conan movie with Arnold and Ben Davidson. Ben said of Sven that, if he had ever been in the NFL, he would have torn the place up. He certainly was made for his roles in Conan and Gladiator. He is also a fine fellow.

Loved Sven-Ole in Conan as well. Much respect to the man and actor. Got him (as Tigris) as my Slack profile icon right now.

I realize Tigris of Gaul had been in retirement for 5 years and this certainly has to be taken into account regarding 'coliseum rust' during the fight. Despite this, he had the unfair advantages of two weapons versus 1 for Maximus and significantly more facial protection his Helmut apparatus provided. Only seconds into the fight though it's clear that Maximus likely would have sufficiently injured him with the head strikes at 1:24 and 1:33 to render him defenseless...had he not had the reinforced facial and head protection. It would have made the additional and cruel measure of the tigers used against Maximus a moot point.

This scene reflects real life , at the time of Roman gladiators, quite well , because , actually, the winning fighter wasn't compelled to kill his losing opponent . Moreover , none of them died at the very first defeat , and this is related to economical reasons : in fact , gladiators belonged to their owners in some sort of stables and , therefore, if one of them died , it was a pecuniary loss . Archeologists recently found in Rome some inscriptions which , for example, tell us about gladiators who ended their careers alive even with four losses

I fully agree with music lover's comments. Joakim deserves Oscar for his role. Because he showed the emotions so superbly - anger, jealousy, Cowardliness, cunning and untrustworthy behaviour so beautifully that we sort of developed an hatred for him. Yes he deserves an Oscar!

Connie Nielsen's role as Lucilla is one of the great roles in movie history.

When the fight is rigged, and you still win.

I know everyone has there opinions but I believe the reasons why Maximus spared Tigris 1. Because Commodus and Maximus were mortal hated enemies and he did it to defy and piss off the Emperor 2. Because Tigris wasn't his enemy and he wasn't on his list and quest for retaliation salvation and his quest of vengeance like Commodus was 3. But like in historical history Even with Commodus dead the Roman Empire started to decay and began its journey of Downfall and destruction

Maximus defies the crowd and they respect him even more

There's a 2nd sequel to this movie, but this movie is just off the chart❤

I feel like many people don't quite understand the level of respect that Maximus had from the legions. He was slated to be the next emperor, by choice of the people. He had fought long and hard and brought honor and glory to Rome, aspects the people valued greatly. He was betrayed, and thought lost to the barbarians. When he shows back up, the people see how he is forced to fight for his life, and he still chooses honor over an easier victory. The praetorian guard, dressed in purple, were at one point directly under his control. More than likely, he served with and commanded most of those men surrounding him. He had their respect long before they took their oaths to protect the emperor and praetors. In the eyes of the legions, he is not only their emperor also one of their praetors.

Never noticed before but the Gladiator Champion uses the heavier axe as his secondary weapon while using a lighter gladius as his main. It's normally the other way round. Interesting style that he uses the axe to parry a lot as well. Guy was probably ambidextrous or equally strong and skilled with both hands.

Best movie of 1990's. Best fight scene ever

Every scene aside but the greatest moment was when Maximus turns away from the emperor and moves toward the guards...Stands there and looks at them for a moment ..and even before the emperor says anything to them, they move away from his path out of sheer respect for him allowing him to leave.. and then his walk away from the scene while the emperor standing behind helpless..Makes perfect sense of the line Today I saw a slave become more powerful than the Emperor of Rome

I watched this movie today and literally a masterpiece

and the oscar goes to T the Tiger 😂
