In May of 1983, I sat on the Vancouver SkyTrain with my uncle and father and literally vibrated with excitement. I had just seen an army of Ewoks assist a ragtag Rebel Alliance take down a galactic fascist empire.

Okay, where to start with Gladiator II?
Let me preface all this by saying I'm a big fan of much of the early work of Ridley Scott. The Duelists is an incredible epic story based on history, Alien is a marvel of horror twisting sci-fi using the wind from Star Wars to shift the genre like one of Gieger's designs.
