CAN PEOPLE PLEASE STOP SAYING THAT THE ALLEGED 210 MINUTE VERSION WAS SHOWN AT THE CANNES FILM FESTIVAL?!?!?! I am sorry for using all capitals, but this is getting very annoying! It was a CLOSED PRIVATE SCREENING that just HAPPENED to occur in Cannes while the famous festival was full swing.

It was censored in several countries, an original runtime of 156 minutes was reduced to 105 (1981 release) & 102 minutes (1999 release) in the U.S. and 149 minutes (1981, since out-of-print.)

If the censored version was so sickening, I am wondering what is in the other half of the movie. Anyone seen the uncensored version? Kowloonese 01:12, 15 Nov 2003 (UTC)

I saw the first half hour of a two hours version and it had a mixture of scenes which may indicate that the professional people had left the production. A film which (rightly, I assume) sets Roman Imperialism and its horribleness on display must also, in my view, present a position or attitude if it is not promoting murder as entertainment.

• Worst movie ever. Saw the uncensored version on netflix. It didn't even make good porn, it was awlful. I skipped ahead through most of the movie before shutting the stupid thing off. Usually I like to make copies of all the netflix movies I rent, even the bad ones. This is the first movie I wouldn't copy. ugh.--God_of War 07:28, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

• God of War, you are so right. This movie was the most disgusting, tasteless, anti-erotic movie I have ever see. It is a shameful piece of nefarious film history and is an embaressment to what film stands for. I almost puked when they tied up that guy's penis and gave him all that wine then slit his stomach open. What kind of sick bastard has thoughts like that? Well, we're living in the Kali Yuga so get used to it. --1DmkIIN 06:26, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Categories

I deleted the category "Sexually explicit films" because this was the only article in the category and the category itself had no description. I also added the "Cult films" category, because this is a cult film. (Ibaranoff24 02:31, 10 February 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Do not delete the talk page

Can we please not delete the talk page? It has contained discussions about versions of this film, category discussions, questions the facts on the runtime of this film and other things. Rather than have someone ask them again or recat this page as explicit film, the old talk should be left. JayKeaton 20:26, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

That may be so, but of these "discussions" are grossly misinformed. Emlodik (forgot to sign) 08:21, 16 May 2007
