The William Wallace speech is one of the greatest speeches in film. "They may take our lives, but they'll they never will take our freedom.

I dislike your premise. You're saying because Maximus lead a larger army he's better?

The movie didn't get good until he lead no army, he was a slave.

That aside, I'm curious what makes you feel that a movie kicks more ass based on the power of the army featured? Or is this debate about who's army would win? I think not.

It's about the movie. And manly kick ass movies. And which manly kick ass movie kicks more ass. Am I wrong?

If it's about the army then Starship Troopers beats out both. (Though that is the most very most underrated and under appreciated movie ever) No one would argue it's better than either Gladiator or Braveheart would they?

Don't get me wrong, both are awsome. But I think taken strictly as individuals, without armies to back them up, Wallace is a bit more awsome than Maximus.

Er, I beg to differ. Watch the first clip of my arguement on the other side. Both are very cool, Wallace and Maximus. There's just something more... barbarian about Wallace that just appeals to my male instincts on some deep level.

Are you f-ing sh-ting me?

Top three kick ass balls to the wall action movies in order are 300, Braveheart, and Gladiator. At this bar I go to now and then they have TV's showing the real just kick ass clips while playing ACDC and other cool rock. It's crazy, I love it. Not a very peaceful place though as you might imagine.
