Trivia: In the open-matte print, right after the credits, the support beams of the movie lot walls are visible, painted in blue to simulate the sky. In the theatrical version and the current Disney+ streaming movie's original aspect ratio (bottom picture), one can still see the beams for a split second after the postman puts the letter in the mailbox (though there's no way here to identify them as lot walls).

Gladiator II mistake picture

Revealing mistake: During the riot at the bleachers, a soldier grabs an arrow from the quiver, places it on the bow, tightens the string, and aims to shoot. The problem is, he's mimicking all the movements. He didn't pick up an arrow in the first place. Seemingly, someone forgot to place the CGI arrow. (02:09:02)

Revealing mistake: Before the big battle between Lucius and Acacius begins, the soldiers arrive at the bleachers, where we see several shots of the people. Check the crowd, and you'll notice it's a flipped shot of the previous people. (01:33:32)

Gladiator II (2024)

Gladiator II mistake picture

Factual error: After the naval battle, Thraex is waiting for an informant who tips him off about Lucilla and Marcus Acacius's plans. And of course, as a well-educated gentleman of 200 AD, he kills time by reading the newspaper. Wait, what? Needless to say (to anyone but Ridley Scott, probably), ancient Romans wouldn't/couldn't exactly get their news by newspaper, the press having not been invented yet. This one looks so modern in its layout it even has headlines and a proper publication title, "Roma Viridia."
