If you lived in the days of Spartacus (Kirk Douglas) and Ben-Hur (Charlton Heston), WHO would gain your vote in a Gladiator battle/Charriot race?
WHY?

Hi Don! :vic:
Thanks for your input! Having never seen 'Spartacus' (can you believe that?), I am certainly not qualified to answer this one without being less than fair! :StarWars3: I will say though, that there was something very exciting about that charriot race in Ben-Hur that really made me munch my fingernails! The camera angles, actors, extras, directing, music, everything about that scene really made me feel as though I were a part of the crowd in the stands! :pharoah2 I still can see it now in my mind! I am a huge fan of Football moreso than wrestling because of the team atmosphere, so I'd bet I'd say Ben-Hur even after I see 'Spartacus' one of these days (and the remake I did see recently on USA (?) network and will not comment further,  )!I have an enormous adoration for horses too!  Anyway - an interesting debate! Who would win in the battle of strength and agility? ~Cleo :pharoah: ······· ·······"It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door.
