I Thought Spartacus Was A Gladiator?
28 November 2010
Warning: Spoilers
I don't exactly follow this genre, but there was a series of 10 Gladiator films in which ten muscle dudes went around in ancient Rome doing the good deeds and flexing their pecs at every opportunity. Dan Vadis heads the group and the Italian producers seem to be trying for a Seven Ronin type film without the success. Other than Vadis as the head gladiator the others develop absolutely no identities of their own. Hardly like the Seven Ronin or the American The Magnificent Seven.

In this one the ten gladiators are tricked into leading a vicious Roman Senator into the camp of Spartacus. Later on the gladiators lead a pack of newly freed slaves into rescuing Spartacus from a Roman trap set by that selfsame Senator. That's about the sum and substance of the film that no one will ever confuse with the Stanley Kubrick classic.

Besides, I thought Spartacus was a gladiator, wasn't he?
