    That error is a "given" in Roman films though. Most of the audience would be gutted if the hero was lying on the floor with a sword over his head, got the thumbs up from the Emperor and then still got his head chopped off!!;)

    Apparently Raging Bull isn't 100% historically accurate either.

    I don't think he'd have any problem with people disrespecting it now - just when it was something.

    Im more botherd that he is portrayed as a southpaw from what ive read. Does that mean we get to see a signature right hook to the body!!??

    i enjoyed it
    **** it its a film not a documentary
    boxing is a background theme in the film so the fighting isnt all that important
