Deliberate mistake: When Lucius is shown Maximus' tomb, the painting on the wall reads, "What we do in life echoes in eternity," in plain perfect modern English language. Of course, it helps audiences relate to the first movie, but it's ludicrous, to say the least.
Gladiator II (2024)
Directed by: Ridley Scott
Starring: Denzel Washington, Connie Nielsen, Pedro Pascal
Character mistake: When Lucius holds his wife's corpse in the sea, a wave crashes against her and splashes her face. The actress can't help wincing.
Character mistake: When the MC introduces Lucius and his team during the naval battle, he says, "Today, we relive the battle of Salamis; the Trojans vs the Persians." The battle did involve the Persian empire, but not against "Trojans", but rather the Greeks.
Emperor Geta: The gods have SPOKEN!
Lucius: Strength and honor.
