Name your fave. The brawnier and sweatier the better.

I'm going with Gladiator 2.

I'm more of an old classics fan - aside from the numerous Steve Reeves movies. . . , posted on March 24, 2025 at 01:34:52

. . . I guess my favorite would be Jason and the Argonauts. Medea's dance to Hekate was about as good as it got in mainstream movies from that time (1963) for a 14-year-old with raging hormones. Tip of the hat to actress Nancy Kovack! I mean, where would gladiator movies be without the dancing girls?



Here's the 4-minute clip from which this still was taken:

I saw all the toga epics, tragically dubbed, in the '50s and '60s. I was easily amused, especially by Nancy and the other sultry ladies of the day.

Too bad Italy doesn't crank out those epics any longer.

I think SNL or SCTV (or both) did great parodies of the dubbing in gladiator movies. ;-)
