Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe film is based on the book 'The Silver Pigs', the first of Lindsey Davis's series of novels about Ancient Roman 'Informer' (private detective) Marcus Didius Falco. However, it bears little relation to the book, jettisoning most of the plot and characters.
- GoofsThe movie starts in the Colosseum in Rome, with the "new Emperor" Vespasian watching the games. In reality it was Vespasian who built the Colosseum, and it wasn't completed until over a decade into his reign.
Featured review
An Aussie in ancient Rome????
Bryan Brown's Australian accent almost completely ruined this film for me. I could easily see this movie as being worthy of a viewing on Mystery Science Theater 3000 just for that alone. At the very least Brown could've taken speech lessons to hide his accent. At best, someone else should've been cast in the role. By using Brown, accent and all, only seems to suggest the makers of this movie really didn't care.
