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.

>The book also reveals Crowe's initial reluctance when asked by director Ridley Scott to utter what turned out to be Gladiator's most enduring line of dialogue: "And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next." Crowe was apparently convinced it was an overwrought sentence, but eventually persuaded to play ball following multiple takes. After the scene in question wrapped, he was said to have told Scott: "It was shit, but I'm the greatest actor in the world and I can make even shit sound good."
Well really it should be a widower to a murdered wife what was he thinking

I agree it wasnt the best time, but given his injured arm and exhaustion, moving her to bed could be impossible so it was the best place at the time.

>Crowe's exact words, according to the book, were "You motherfucker. I will kill you with my bare hands". He was apparently angry at Lustig's refusal to pay his assistants what the actor considered to be a fair daily wage.
> Branko Lustig, 77, a Holocaust survivor, immediately telephoned Steven Spielberg in Los Angeles and asked to leave the production.

Uh, that was about as period-appropriate as the wheat.
