The unspoken respect in this scene. "I served with you at Vendabona."
This man knew who he was all along and never said a word. Only when it was relevant.
I always thought he was being sort of sarcastic, that the huge German guy was on the losing end against Maximus at Vendabona and that's why he was made into a slave and gladiator.
@@nuraby_9228 think it would have been worded “I fought against you” instead of “I served with you” if that were the case.
@@TViper2369 At some cases, slaves were allowed to fight with the Roman Army. This could have been the case.
@@nuraby_9228 I'm pretty sure at this time in the roman empire they enlisted Germania legionararie
@@nuraby_9228 Being sold into slavery was done to deserters in the Roman Army, specially non-Roman auxilia. Is widely thought that's how Spartacus became a gladiator
He seems like a natural leader. He should be a general or something.
He was a leader before they got him as a slave.
@@dxarief shikhar was being sarcastic
Watch the movie. Dumbass comment... sarcasm or not.
@@wingman31k I agree
@@wingman31k whoosh
Maximus shows extraordinary leadership. Yes, he takes a "commanding presence", but he also positively encourages and compliments people around him throughout. HE shows a stern personality, but he is "warm" around his people. Perfect.
And he saves the lives of his men. That would create loyalty.
@@enjoyevanHave you read Heretics of Dune? The character Miles Teg is a similar type of man.
The thrill of having fought for your life and winning under the cheers of others must be immeasurable.

Gotta love Proximo's laugh when they kill that last guy. Dude though he was gonna lose all his fighters and put him out of business, and they go turn it around to win the impossible. Dude was proud of his gladiators...

He prepared them well.
True, the small attention to detail like that is one reason that makes this movie a masterpiece for ever
Maximus is depicted as a perfect leader. Still, I like the fact there were a couple of gladiators who chose NOT to follow him (Hagen between them). Then, they died or were forced to join the group in order to survive. Leadership is an inherent quality of the person but it's necessarily completed only after external circumstances
You can bring a horse to water, but you can't make him drink.
Also notice Ralph Muller's character didn't join the rest, was fighting on his own, but joined in when he got saved by Maximus.
Agreed, I also like how his followers began to take on his characteristics (fighting valiantly against all odds, working together, etc).
@@natesit7169 The best way to lead is by example.
Respect is not given, it is earned. Also, never ask someone you command, to do something you would not do yourself. I was taught those two lessons very early on in life, and they are very true.
I appreciate the soldier who served with him, he never revealed his identity to the others.
Seemed a convenient line
because it wouldnt matter to be honnest
they might acually put him against more experienced fighters because of that and that is not what you want
That probably was some Masonic Easter egg that Ridley added to the movie
A born leader comes forth even incognito, in a prison or anywhere. People start to trust him, support him, admire him, follow him. The emperors adviser was right: he should have been killed right after this one, else he would take over.
@@mushroomhead5914 how do you mean?
The best part about this is how when you look at the makeup of the two sides, the "barbarian horde" actually resembles the pre-Marian Triarii that Africanus would have had as his third line while the supposed "Legions of Scipio Africanus" are about as far removed from the three lines as you could being chariot-mounted archers. And Maximus, using Rome's odd mixture of extreme discipline and relentless aggression once opportunity showed itself, triumphs despite being set up to die... almost as if the spirit of Rome was striking back against the mockery being made of its history.
Well said my friend
Beautifully put!
Que?
Great analysis.
Well said. But to play devil's advocate a bit: Hannibal's core Phoenician infantry also fought in the traditional hoplite style, though of course the style of their armor and shields was rather different. And at Zama Scipio also had a large contingent of Numidian cavalry. Of course there's little relation between them and this fantasy chariot force but I believe that's what they're supposed to be as they did play a large role in the battle. For one thing Numidians being north Africans have much lighter skin tone than the Nubians used here and they fought as nimble unarmored light cavalry chucking javelins and had nothing to do with chariots as far as I know. By that period barely anyone was using chariots.
Frankly the most unbelievable part of this whole battle is that the gladiators managed to pull off the diamond formation with perfect timing and precision with zero prior drills and organization.
2:39 It's been years, and this still keeps being my favorite part: how the crowd stand up to take a better look at the accident.
I still hope someone to create a videogame about gladiators fights and stuff.
my favorite part is when we see the gas tank of the chariot, true roman engineering they discovered gastanks at that time
@@KATHLEEN-XM772 Where is the gas tank?
@@Veritech 2:36
It's like when there's an accident on the freeway and everyone rubbernecks. Some things never change
It's amazing how well this film continues to age. 20 years old, but still fresh, still watchable, and some great scenes. It's looking good to become a classic that survives beyond the generations who saw it at the cinema.
It's a masterpiece.
if it were made now Maximus would have been a woman
@@stevewake6614 Proximo would be a transgender and the movie would be full of dumb jokes
And nobody cares that Crowe has a heavy Australian accent? What accent? It is the acting that counts.
20-30 years ago music, movies... Was on top! What we have now? Sad...
I love the scene where he throws the sword to maximus. It's so short but so powerful. It shows a friendship that only emerges between men with a common goal. They know what to do with such minimal words.
It's really iconic, in fact in Robin Hood Russel Crowe do a similar scene
And at the end, when Maximus upgrades his weapon, simple but elegant.
No. It is a friendship forged in war.
He knew that Maximus was a demon with the short sword
Can you imagine he fumbled it
I had no father, but Maximus was my role model as a kid. This movie is epic.

@@harrismazari5484huh
At 3:30 you will hear Hans Zimmer's signature action/adventure riff that he'd later further refine into the now-iconic Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack
i just noticed that myself. i was like " wait a minute, why am i suddenly swinging from the sails of a ship?"
I thought it sounded similar…. 😳
exactly what I was thinking of. The notes are very similar to Pirate of Carribbean. If Klaus Badelt had done a half decent job then Hans Zimmer wouldn't have had to put this masterpiece in their.
Didn't know both of them were Hans work. I thought they copied it from gladiator.
I know this came first... I even saw it first, but now I always think of that riff as very Pirates.
That guy who says, "I served with you." like... He knew who Maximus was? Knew him enough to follow directions and trusted him as a leader? Ever since I saw that as a kid, I was entranced. It was such a throwaway line, but it reflected so much reality. Soldiers becoming slaves, slaves becoming gladiators. A widespread army that knew its generals. Immediate trust in life or death situations, but saying nothing until it was clear that there would be a leader. Saying "I will follow, and I thank you for leading."
That one guy offscreen... He taught me about gladiator and army culture, more in that moment than I learned in a year of Latin class.
Chaotic evil
great comment. The guy knew that if he said that, that would help sway the rest into co-operating.
A lot of deserters ended up as slaves, and of those many ended up Gladiators. He may have known him from a campaign prior.
I think of what might have happened for that slave who said “I served with you” to be in that spot, maybe he was in a battle where the legion got its ass kicked and various legionnaires escaped with their lives, hiding by day, moving by night, trying to live off the land and avoid capture by enemy forces or slave traders.
Or maybe he was just a straight up deserter, got grabbed by who knows and sold into slavery.
And the fact he recognized Maximus, knew him, but knew Maximus had no clue who he was, he kept quiet, until then, until death was expected.
If Maximus hadn’t spoke up about the Army and strategy, that guy would have most likely taken it to the grave that they served together. Leads me to believe that he didn’t want to have a conversation with Maximus about how he wound up in his situation.
Wonder what that guy was thinking when he first saw Maximus?
The General of the Armies of the North.
I’m sure he thought…….”How the hell did he wind up in here with me?”
Honor means everything to us men who have nothing.
Djimon Honsou deserved an award for his supporting role in this movie - his victory yell at the end of this battle gets me every time
Every time.
Wow ! You right ! 🔥
4:28 Triumph against the odds distilled into a single moment.
@@bigmacrmuk like they went in expecting to die but here we are still standing
Ape yelling is not good acting
The Emperor is so funny. He should become Joker one day.
hehe
"Hehehe hohoho hahaha . I thought my Jokes were bad"
~~~ Joker
😂
He had just the right kind of crazy to play crazy but not actually go crazy.
Seems more like a country music star to me.
00:04 I love that there's a guy who was actually in Maximus' legion, who through whatever misfortune has also ended up as a Gladiator, clearly recognised Maximus when he first saw him, but said nothing until this crucial moment. And to top it all isn't ackowledged again in the entire movie (unless I missed something?).
Weird I didn't think twice about it until your comment. True its a great little detail.
It isn’t mentioned again, kinda wished they’d explored it more, nonetheless a great little point!!
I agree. It was said so casually and the guy who said it was off-screen. It comes off as very trivial, but like you said- the implications are huge. It means that dude recognized Maximus from the very beginning and never told a soul about it, even to Maximus himself. Was he a deserter? or got betrayed like Maximus? We might never know the story of this former roman soldier turned gladiator.
@@JBrander pretty sure that was the big guy who Maximus saved from the oncoming chariot...he remains one of Maximus' top guys but sadly their history is indeed never explored further.
Probably a deserter that was caught and sent to the arenas
One of my favorite things about this scene is that the other gladiators are repeating the commands. In war it was important for soldiers to repeat the commands to acknowledge that you received orders and helped send information down the line.
The mask is perfect for stunt doubles, you can’t even tell but half the time MF DOOM is actually being portrayed by Russell Crowe.

Sorry deleted my first comment because i felt like an idiot after rereading your comment. Yeah i hear it too
He does that all the time.
He uses that theme in TON of scores.
Normally the directors are the ones that ask the compositor to write something similar to some of their previous works
This movie came out before the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie lol

It’s a nice touch that he sets up the final kills and it’s his men that finish the job.
Yep.
He sets the strategy, let’s the men execute tactically, let’s them get the credit, and gives them good feedback with ‘’well done!’’
@@steverogers7601 seems to me like the kind of strategy that sets them up to become leaders themselves

Never has a movie given me more chills and thrills than this one... the scene where Maximus refused to take off is helm to me is the best piece of cinema ever, spine tingling.
This film and Ben Hur - PERFECTION
Commodus fell victim to one of the oldest villain mistakes in the book: NEVER ask the hero who they are. They will always respond with a badass one-liner or monologue
For me its the one second at 4:28 when the man screams in victory... for me he was saying !you expected us to die, but here we are, you sent your best and we beat them!
This movie copies a LOT of Ben-Hur beat-for-beat. But yeah, it's a good movie.
@@Mark_Bickerton the Nubian is awesome
3:32 - The way the most epic part of the music synchs with Juba throwing the sword over to Maximus is beyond masterful. Such a tiny detail seemingly, yet it makes all the difference.
Right? I noticed it too!
Facts. Perfection
Listening to this soundtrack in a cinema....absolutely unreal.
I would give so much to see this movie in cinema...
@@N0_1. luckily most theatres are allowing the rental to play your own movies or games so there's that!
@@N0_1. Than search for its screening in cinemas near you.There are several cinemas who also devote room for older films and classics.
Hans Zimmer is a legend.
Saw this is theatre. Mom took me and my brother. Brilliant experience
it's one of those rare movies where everything is just perfect. the acting, cast, epic soundtrack, story and emotion... everything is just SPOT ON!
Basically anytime Hanz Zimmer is the composer it’s probably a fantastic movie
the shaky camerawork definitely doesn’t do it any justice though
Today it would be toxic masculinity
Well everything except historical veracity... but it IS a great movie!
Check 2:37 there's an air-tank visable. Gladiator had its flaws.
There are many amazing movie moments achieved through CGI and fancy effects. But the simple scene of Juba calling out "Maximus!" and then tossing the sword to him while the rest of the gladiators work as a team is pure gold. Visual storytelling at its finest.
One of the best action sequences ever filmed.
The soundtrack is phenomenal - it just layers on the emotion. If you get a chance, listen to it on it's own. I know zippo about classical music, but this should be right up there with the greats IMHO (just wasn't written by a guy that died 300 years ago :^)
Period.
It just makes you feel how terrible modern day cinema is.
Even the way Joaquin sticks his tongue out in pleasure at the bloodshed is just insane!!
Definitely, this one and the one from the movie "Troy" at the gates of the city when that old guy tries to rescue back his young wife.
One of them! Out of thousands!
Really? I love this movie but the action in this scene seemed subpar to me.
Gotta love the oxygen tanks they would put in the back of the chariots back in the days 2:36
Good eye
Nah that's the nitrous for the chariots /s
omg lol
Well I don't see too much difference between a todays ambulance car and an old charriot, except maybe the side blades,.
lol good caught.
2:35 My favourite part is when you see the propellant tanks mounted on the backs of the chariots which are giving off the dust effect, since in reality these chariots aren't being driven at full speed since that would endanger actors and stunt doubles. They're being driven at a canter, not a gallop, while the tanks spray out gas to whip up the sand of the arena floor and mimic high speed. :D
Got uncovered when it flipped
wow man what an eye you have!. To be more precise pause at 2:37 and you'll see full blown Roman technology with gas tanks!
@@nevertheless123 It's almost as if that's exactly what I was pointing out... funny that?
To be fair, romans discovered the power of steam
Thanks. I was wondering what the tanks were for since there were actual horses dragging the chariot.

I have a love/hate relationship with Joaquin Phoenix.
He plays the part so well that you HAVE to hate him!!
But he’s such a great actor you have to love him.
Just makes you love the actor all the more if you hate the character. Also playing the villain is the brave thing because people will send you death threats to you if you play the villain well.
Sounds like a love/love relationship
Then you don't hate him at all, his character isn't him. As far as i know none of the actors in Downfall have been tried at Nuremberg yet.
@@scorpixel1866 yeah, it’s in the wording. I guess what I meant is when I look at him I see his character from Gladiator and it makes me feel scorn, but then I remember he’s just the actor that plays the asshole in gladiator. 😂 Then I remember him in Signs and I love him again.
Great warrior🔥
My family and I were living in Phoenix, AZ when this movie came out. My brothers and I went to go see it. The crowd was hooting, hollering, and cheering when this scene was playing. There was a loud roar from the crowd when that Legionnaire got cut in half. I'll never forget that night.
Were they not entertained??
Violence against women is never cool
Great movie, great music, great story, great actors. Russel Crowe is of course the ultimate hero, but I am absolutely impressed by Joaquin Phoenix as Commodus. I think he received an Oscar for his performance in this movie.
Unfortunately not. But for Joker.
@@thedarklordofthetwinmoons9455 Thanks for this information. Could have checked in Google before writing.

You would almost believe that Joaquin Phoenix IS a psychopath.
I love the emperor's next line: "My history's a little hazy Cassius, but didn't the barbarians lose the battle of Carthage?"
Barbarians with roman shields and phalanx tactics.
Those arranged battles are set to force "loser" team to die. Romans had ranged weapons and chariots, so it was a nice surprise for everyone that the barbarians gave that epic comeback :3
@@mikeblackmetal I don't think so. The "barbarians" had heavy infantry equipment and unless they panicked, they were more advantageous. Chariots could not do anything against a shield wall. Even Hannibal elephants could not win against Scipio's heavy infantry at Zama. Of course the crowd didn't know that but i'm pretty sure the Roman generals who watched the fight told each other "wtf is going on, who prepared this fight." :)
errrrr yes sire, Im sorry sire
thats ok i like surprises
"Gladiators alone weak. Gladiators together strong."
*Fact: You will always love to watch this movie but you will never enjoy another gladiator movie just like this!!!*
*This movie is a masterpiece*
Not Fact. Fun Fact.
Spartacus is a great gladiator base series
Spartacus is an old movie but still bad ass and wrote the book on every gladiator movie ever.
Yes
I have never watched this movie
one of the best battle/fight scenes in a movie EVER
The crowd's cheering and reactions makes this battle even more epic
Maximus hasn't revealed his true identity yet and I love how casually one of the guys recognized him and tell him he serve under his command before.
Yeah, I think the subtle difference is “I served with you”…which doesn’t give away Maximus’ identity, but at the same time let’s him know “I know who you are, and I’m ready”
Imagine this watching in the cinema.....even now, better than any movie in the last 10 years
Easily.
I saw it in the cinema when it first came out. It definitely belongs on the big screen
Saw this movie when I was like 11 or something.
Even to this day, this scene still gives me chills.
The story, acting, music -- one of the greatest movies ever made!
the female chariot archer is Jennifer Stoute....from UK tv's version of the gameshow The Gladiators, she was known as 'Rebel'...she is classed as a stunt performer, hence why nobody can find her on IMDB...she won a bronze medal in 400m at the 1982 Olympic games.
2:35 imagine going through all the effort to put nos on your chariot and you end up crashing it anyway.
Ahaha, I'm guessing they used compressed air to power the destruction effects? Blow parts off, throw dust everywhere? - Edit: Looks like it was used to power the flipping of the chariot, that makes sense.
Thank you! I watched this whole clip looking for that
Just got back from Rome and stepping foot inside the Colosseum was amazing. Had these scenes in my head the entire time I was there. I have my Rome vlogs on my channel if anyone is interested. Part 3 is where I go inside the Colosseum.
I still get chills every time I view this scene. It’s just so bad ass.
Same
Same
Not a movie since this day can give you goosebumps like this.. the music the action... One of the best of all time.
ah yes, the wild historical inaccuracies, the cheese!
this scene is magic in every aspects, the battle, the music, the crowd, and the pure joy expression on dominus face after they win is a masterclass of art.
After more than 20 Years, Gladiator is still a Masterpiece !
He sure got those men organized quick!! Leader qualities. Love the end when he is on his white horse celebrating the victory and when the other gladiators were all yelling Maximus. Goose bumps.
I remember seeing this on IMAX when it first came out. “HOOOLD!!! Together as one!!!” It was exhilarating being dropped into the action like that. It felt like you were in the huddle.
Game of thrones had the Starbucks cup on the table. This scene had a compressed air tank on the chariot at 2.36.👍
have you seen the Dead uruk hai that sits up in the first Lord of the Rings movie just before Boromir dies? we spotted it ourselves when younger.. its funny as
If I remember right, there was also dude from a film set, seeing in the shot when maximus was in that shitty coloseum in the beginning.
Romans were sooo ahead of their time lol
It also has someone in the background wearing jeans (the pre battle scene when Maximus pets his horse)
Can't see it clearly...was it mounted sideways on the back, inside the cab?
I can't count the number of times I have watched this scene....especially the way Maximus makes the horse dance
Gladiator has no sequel, Gladiator needs no sequel
One of the best movies ever made
So, THAT'S where DOOM got his mask.
That’s what I’m saying

“Are you not into trains?” Absolutely iconic moment
To think this movie is over 20 years old and it still holds up, it's a testament to how great it really is. Even today the clips posted here on youtube get millions of views.
You'd be surprised how many older movies "hold up" in that sense. Bad CGI is the norm now, while older movies relied more on practical effects that, when done right, just look better most of the time. Then if you go back even further to movies like Apocalypse Now, Lawrence of Arabia, Ben Hur, and Bullitt, you'll see the most spectacular action scenes ever since much less was faked and both the scale and danger were unparalleled. Modern CGI is a weak substitute, though for safety purposes I'm of course fine with it.
who ever wou are

not h.AvE survived
Joaquin's performance and presence are phenomenal, despite the fact that he was only 25 years old at the time.
Maximus was a blessed man. A formidable fighter. A powerful leader. A very intelligent swordsman. I wouldn’t wanna go up against his skill.
This is one of those films that I’d want to watch with my kids when they’re old enough, just so they’d know what a masterpiece of a film looks like.
I... can't even imagine the hormonal rush at the end of such a hopeless battle. You were fated to die, you worked together, it's over and somehow you are alive and victorious... No wonder they were willing to follow him to the death after that.
This has been my favourite scene of all time ever since I saw this as a kid. Still gives me chills when he raises his sword in victory to that epic soundtrack at the end.
The fact that this has 2 million views after only being out for a week is amazing, love this movie
As amazing as a U tube algorithm
Grabbing the sword like a boss at 3:34 is too good with the music behind, what a movie !
Few things to note in this scene. At first, not everyone is convinced about the speech by Maximus, hence they stay away from the group and gets killed. The Big guy doesn't trust Max until Max saved him from the incoming chariot. Once Max gains his trust, the big guy is part of the team.
As for the scene, none of them are single long shots. I counted close to 100 cuts in 2min 23sec. That's how tight the editing was. The scene which has the chariot running over the formation has 7 different shots in about 2 seconds.
These were carefully choreographed, edited and stitched together with brilliant musical score.
The thing is, even with fast paced editing, the action is comprehensible and easy to follow. It's not like a lot of action movies today where it's a blur of motion, and you really have no idea what happened.
Can't imagine that it was the sport of the romans days. That was a wicked time to live in.
Such a marvelous scene...
No need such lenghty explanations and only showing the viewers about loyality & respect (the man who says he served under Maxs command but never revealed until now), about trust and working a common goal (The african who throws the sword to Max), the importance of working together...
Nowadays its such a shame they cant make films like this anymore while having much more resources than back in the day...
3:33 pure chills, goosebumps, every freakin' time
3:38 I'm pretty sure Joaquin improvised that part. I have no proof but neither doubt!
possibly but fits the madness of the character, his child like enjoyment of the bloodshed.
I read that I in think in an interview or commentary that Ridley was filing that scene all day and Joaquin was stuck in the spectator box and was bored and Ridley happened to catch that reaction over a certain action scene, it was a real bored unscripted reaction caught on film that he added to the scene during editing
That's why he was suited for joker...
3:33 that moment gives me goosebumps when i watch this legend again
Maximus getting on the horse along with that BGM...OMG this is a masterpiece
Djimon Honsou's cheer at the end is a fantastic shot and one of my favourites in any movie.
Maximus was awesome, he basically inspired these guys to be like soldiers, without him fighting along side of them I don't think they would have survived this fight.
Right? He was in command and most of the gladiators knew following his orders was the best shot at survival. The few that ignored him quickly perished.
still one of the greatest movies ever made
This fight is certainly one of THE best of all of action movies. It just makes you put yourself in their shoes n feel all of barbarism, those primal instincts and all the glory of the fight once it is won.
I love how Maximus is holding the javelin at the end of the fight, you can see he was deciding whether or not to throw it at Commodus.. and ultimately decided not to.
something what Mormont also wanted to try with Denerys
Far and away my favourite film of all time, but it's all about the gas cylinder when the chariot flips 🤣
Romans were more advanced then i thought
The sword toss and Maximus' ride thru the gauntlet was sublime.
Commodus reaction at 3:38 is always so awesome. I don’t know how he does it, but Joaquin Phoenix steals every scene at the movie even if he’s given like 2 seconds
The greatest film ever made.
When did Dr Doom travel back in time to become the greatest gladiator of all of time?
Nah that's MF DOOM
Movies like these made the theatre experience what it was. Truly the hay-days of the movie-going 'experience'.
The bit that really makes the scene for me is Proximo laughing at the end result. Granted, he probably sees his gladiators more as an investment or property than anything else, but at the same time, you can tell he's thinking, "That's my boys!"
Long live the commander who leads his men from the front, rather than cowers behind his generals.
This scene always brings tears to my eyes.
dude what kinda guy starts crying watching a combat scene in Gladiator? 😂 I bet you nut your pants too.
plus, uhm it's not like he had a choice here? he leads them from the "front" because he's a slave forced to fight.
Absolutely true.🙏🙏
This is the most entertaining show I have ever seen. The Romans knew exactly how to put on a spectacular show.
The music, Russell Crowe on horseback, a cheering crowd….nothing else like it 👍🏻
One of the best movies of all time !
This movie has aged incredibly.
If it came out today it would still be a revelation.
I can't believe 21 years have gone by since this movie came out. We live in a completely different world now.
2:35 you can see the pressurized canister that made them flip
nice
finally noticed it after seeing this movie like 20 times!
Hands down one of the best movies ever made
3:22 I like how Hanz Zimmer uses the same rhythm as in the Pirates of the Carribean
I remember being afraid of the gore as a kid from this movie...now I enjoy the action and strategy thoroughly...such an amazing movie
2:36 Ah yes, the Pressurized Tank of Carthage
