Gladiator Deleted Scene - What Is Your Name? (2000) - Russell Crowe Movie HD 

How in the world this movie didn’t win every single oscar is beyond me. This in my opinion is the greatest film ever made. The story, acting, setting, everything was just perfect

I noticed the condemned soldiers marched in step with the guards as they approached their place of execution. Even as they were being marched to their deaths by order of the same man they swore to serve, they continued to maintain the decorum of nothing but loyal Roman soldiers. It's a nice touch to the scene.

This scene shouldn't have been deleted from the movie..It's really thrilling and give exact idea why Quintos didn't obey Commodos last order..

This movie could be 5 hours long and I still wouldn’t mind

It's a shame they had to cut so many of Joaquin's scenes.

Joaquin Phoenix is such a great actor.

The guy to the right of the emperor at 2:31 has never held a bow in his life, or an arrow for that matter

gladiator, the only movie made like 20 years ago with 4k

To really hate a character in a movie as much as we hated him is not only credit to the writing but the actor even more. A perfect role for Joaquin Phoenix. Such a great actor. Be sweet to watch the full cut. I'd watch 5+ hours of Gladiator.

Brilliant performance from Joaquim... Even better than in the Joker. He hit it right out of the park here 👌

For the 1000th time, it's not fire, it's release.

General: fire! Archers: emm wat?

This is a great scene, I’m glad it’s fully realized in the extended version.

Joaquin Phoenix should have won an oscar for this.

In my opinion, from the deleted scenes I've seen, this is the one they REALLY should've kept in the movie. It gives more depth to the final confrontation between Comodus and Maximus, and I think it would also improve the pacing a little bit.

This was Phoenix's best performance. I don't think there is even a second close one he has done although he is great in everything he has done, this character exceeded the standard

"These are good men. Loyal to the emperor" Commodus: I missed the part where that's my problem.

Once the Generals were not on your side your reign was over ..the emperor knew he was finished at this scene

What a beautiful moment in history it would have been, if all the archers individually decided to nail Commodus at the same time.

gives context to 'sheath ur swords'!!

The emperor was so embarrassed by maximus that he lost his mind and now we know him as joker

The only time I've ever seen a movie accurately depict that holding a bow drawn back for an extended period of time is really really hard. Just a shame they said "fire"

why I never watched this scene in 20 years is beyond me

Soldier: aww man I shot the Emperor in the face...

Joaquin Phoenix did a great job in this movie. Hands down his best performance.

My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next.

I hated so much Joaquin Phoenix in this movie when I was younger. But today, I understand what great he was in Gladiator. His role as the emperor was so unique , so much emotional. With all the respect to Russlle who did a great job, Phoenix is the superstar of the movie.

The drama of this scene is diminished somewhat by the fact that Quintus orders the archers to "fire" when he should have said "loose" or "shoot". It stands out and takes me out of the movie a bit. Even before I looked up the proper term, "fire" just felt wrong. This is especially surprising because they correctly use "loose" for the archers and catapults in the opening battle scene.

While this film portrayed many things about the Romans much more realistically than the old Hollywood films, at the same time, the historical inaccuracies in this film were legion, no pun intended :D

Commands: "Fire!" No fire anywhere.

@3:00 into this video, the command wouldn't have been "fire". The word would have been something like "loose" (meaning let go of the bow's draw ring). "Fire" would refer to firearms. Those didn't exist in ancient times.

This is why editing is very important in putting a movie together.

Commodus is sexiest villain all the time. Love Joaquin Phoenix.

I didn't even know this scene was not included in some versions, it's definitely a worthwile addition to the plot

This is a good scene, I'm surprised it was cut

Joaquín Phoenix, superb.

The execution was very epic and dramatic , because of that I always prefer the extended cut of this movie.

Daniel Day-Lewis and Joaquin Phoenix are amazing acrtors!

Emperor : What is your name? Person : Biggus Dickus Emperor : I'm sorry Your Majesty, I should have kneel

This scene I think should’ve stayed. It gave a new perspective to how sadistic and psychotic Commodus was.

It’s all because that Commodus always have negative thoughts. :)

Yep, it's in the extended cut I recently watched, was almost 3 hour long

This is such a great scene. Should have made the movie

I bet this deleted scene will be better than Gladiator 2.

Ah it's a deleted scene. Someone sent me a clip and I had no memory of this scene whatsoever. Makes sense now :V

Definitely needed more scenes with Quintus

I don't care about the scene but those close ups of her..amazing.

This proves the Joker came from a long bloodline of evil relatives

02:30 arrow on that right side dude

IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT YOUR NAME IS -The Rock

I think that maybe they keept this scene out because for one it doesn't really do anything for the story, all it does is really make you hate commodus a lot more which wouldn't of been something that the director would of wanted as he always emphasized that he never wanted people to fully hate commodus or look at him as a full on villian. He always wanted people's emotions to be split between hating his actions but at the same time also being able to feel some emotion towards him. This scene would of totally killed that, he's too brutal here. Plus the scene itself isn't really all that good anyway.

Like Rutger Hauer in Blade runner - Joaquin stole the show! Great character acting.

He would not have given the command to "fire". That command was used to dip the treated arrows into the firepots. The command instead would've been "release", to release the arrows. Alternatively, some armies used the term "loose". I understand that "fire" is more readily known by general audiences; however, I know no one that would be confused by the General issuing the correct command. This isn't the same as expecting them to use their original language, either. We're talking about English words - words that both the actors and the audience already know. Even in films that focus more on the spectacle than the reality, the terms "loose" or "release" are often used. This isn't something that should only be seen in "realistic" films.

A masterpiece

All I really remember from an ancient Rome course I took in college was the professor’s absolute hate of the historical inaccuracies in this film. It was a big class so I never personally interacted with him, but I desperately wanted to explain the concept of artistic license to him lol.

*Actual footage of the Joker trolling subjects in 180 AD or thereabouts*

Just watched this movie in Asia and this scene was included!

The command "fire" wasn't used until cannons were invented. He should really have said "loose" or "shoot". Damn Hollywood.

It's deleted because there is a discontinuity in the scene: in close up the last archer on the right side of the line is a blond with mustache but in wider with Commodus behind him it's a skinny brunette and the blond mustache man is gone!

hahaha Look at the way the archer on the right holds the bow and arrow with extreme skill @ 2:42

1:53 and there you have the archer who releases his arrow by mistake lmao

Please do something about the audio volume. It's very hard to hear anything at all.

This scene is terrible, bloody hell. I dont know how you could hold a bow of that sort for so long, and why you'd try and execute someone with a bow, and why you'd say 'fire' a bow. total facepalm.

One of the bowmen could have killed Comodus and it would not be easy to figure out which one.

Wow.......a brilliant scene indeed, great tension. Thanks 😊

I have some of the original film stills in my gladiator collection 😊😊

They had the perfect chance to take him out there.

Great scene but in the end it needed to go "Less is more". What most film viewers don't know is beating a dead horse with points like this guy is evil are already very clear, and what makes Joaquin's characters so dam fascinating is we very small snippets of his character fleshed out throughout the film. This gives him more depth vs a 3 hour film of him being evil. Less is more. He mentions it once as they say "They lied to me in Germania" and this is all that needs to be said to understand his what is going on in his mind. Also mentioned is how this would have explained why Quintus didn't help him in the end duel. It was very clear to me when he stabs Maximus in the back and tells Quintus to hide the wound. It plays right in line with his Relationship with Maximus as well whos motto has always been "Strength and Honor" This scene has nothing to do with the relationship he has with Maximus (Which isn't a bad thing) but just another reason it really dose not fit in the final cut and makes the cut as good as it is. And if you still somehow feel my view is invalid id like to remind you Oliver Reed died before large amounts of his scenes were finished, he had a lot of dialog and it was him and not Juba who would burry the family figures in the sand. This also played out in the most poetic scenes of "Less is more" with Maximus saying an amazing line "Are you in danger of becoming a good person" and Reed laughs it off. One line...

This scene wasn’t in the theatrical release in 2000. I saw this film 3 times at the theater and bought the DVD when it was first available. The scene wasn’t included in the original release. Too bad...it was a great scene! Except they should have trained the archers a bit better in how to properly hold a bow.

I watched this movie several times and i still love it but when i saw this video i thought that i missed a big part of the movie.

that archer in the background on 2:31 is a real expert :) almost losing his arrow....

This scene gives the movie more insight to what happens later.

Pause at 00:26 you can see crew in the shot sitting down beside the wall on the right further afield.

More scenes like this and maybe I would have liked this movie.

"GUARD THE LADY HAS FINISHED WITH ME" I think that was very presumptuous of him, She was probably thinking,"I should check out his blood pressure, maybe his hydraulic fluids need to be drained and replenished.

I can totally see why they cut this. A Praetorian would not have thought twice about it and surely would not have gotten emotional, especially in front of the emperor

ah...this is why he became Joker...

Execution with bows in the roman era? The order to launch the arrows would certainly not be "fire" Lol! Classic movie and great acting otherwise

The director should have kept this scene in the movie.

The ad for Ray Liotta and Chantix that leads off this clip is as creepy as the Emperor played by Joaquin Phoenix

For a movie lacking a lot of historical accuracy (which is fine) they did show the difficulty of holding a fully drawn bow, which most films never even mention

Joaquin owns this movie ✌

I can understand why this scene was cut. An execution would not have happened this way in Rome and when Quintus says "fire" that also would not have happened (no guns available for quite some time).

one of the best scene of the movie

This very nice scene is not deleted from the movie.

They say "fire" to shot the arrows? :v

He would have said, "Loose!", not "Fire!".

Joaquin Phoenix is freaking scary.

Damn, he is a great actor.

A River ran dry so that a Phoenix could rise.

Commodus should know never to piss off the Praetorian guard.

i thin is an amazing scene that should not have been cut out.

Once of the Top 10 for me

What's joker doing in Rome?

Phoenix fits the play perfectly.

2:31 That archer looks more of a threat to himself than anyone else

He's gifted in making you dislike him intensely. I totally enjoy watching Maximus beat the tar out of him in the end.

The greatest irony here was that Ridley Scott had to tell the crew to take the day off at one point because the script was too short for the movie, so he quickly hired some more writers and spent the day coming up with more scenes!

Why the hell did they cut this scene. I wonder how many more were cut. This movie is so amazing. Nothing should have been cut

This was an integral scene left out of the theatrical version.
