<p>[QUOTE=&quot;David Atherton, post: 2728001, member: 82616&quot;]Olivier acted circles around everyone else and I would think was only in it for a pay check. Ernest Borgnine was woefully miscast as a <i>lanista. </i>Brian Blessed plays the leader of an underground Christian cult and does his best to deliver his character&#039;s cheesy lines. Ned Beatty&#039;s bumbling rich freedman provides some needed comic relief.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jack Cardiff did the cinematography and Trevor Jones wrote the music, so the whole thing is packaged quite well and looks and sounds great. The special effects aren&#039;t that bad, considering it&#039;s an 80s TV movie.</p><p><br /></p><p>One of the (unintentionally) funniest line of the series is uttered by a Roman soldier to Brian Blessed&#039;s character - &quot;Turn the other cheek, Christian lover!&quot; Need I say more?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
