LOS ANGELES, Aug 17 — The team at Screen Junkies are back with another Honest Trailer and this time they focus on Russell Crowe’s Gladiator.

Watch as the voiceover guy points out: “From Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe, when that still meant something, comes the sword and sandal movie that was so successful it gave us Troy, Alexander, two Hercules movies, a Clash of the Titans remake, and another Ben-Hur. Great!”

The narrator then hilariously goes on to explain why the movie did pretty well: “Enjoy a confusing mix of real history and fake stuff they kind of just made up,” says the narrator. “Hey, it might be fake, but it’s still a hundred times more real than 300.”

As always, the team has done a brilliant job in pointing out the high and low points of the movie, so check out the clip.  

The team at Screen Junkies give Russell Crowe’s ‘Gladiator’ their weekly Honest Trailer treatment.
