A slave is stabbed offscreen, with his blood splattering onto the killer's face.
Surprisingly brutal for 1960. A major battle scene in which soldiers are stabbed, decapitated and have limbs hacked off. Many are set on fire, and several are stabbed in close up shots with blood splurting out. We see bloodied swords, and an arm is hacked off on center screen. We later see the aftermath of the battle, with many dead and bloodied bodies.
A slave kills his oppressor by drowning him in boiling soup kettle--disturbing.
A battle where the slaves revolt, and many on both sides are killed with blood.
Several gladiator fights. Combatants are stabbed and sliced repeatedly, with bloody results.
The bloodiest scenes in the film are not battle scenes, but tracking shots of the bloody aftermath.
