    Neither, although both Gladiator and Braveheart were both flawed to say the least. My personal choice is the latest abortion from Hollywood "300"; there simply is not enough time or space on this page to list all the egregious inaccuracies that were committed in"300" in the name of artistic license; I could come up with a list the size of the New York City telephone book. Nonetheless, here are a couple of the most glaring:
    o Spartans in Speedos
    o Xerxes as an oversized drag queen
    o Afro-American Persians???
    o I did not know the Immortals actually looked like George Romero’s Zombies!
    I could go on and on, but I believe that I made my point.
