Trivia
In history, Horatius Cocles was known for defending one of Rome's most famous bridges, the Pons Sublicus or Sublican bridge, spanning the river Tiber during the war between Rome and the Etruscans. He stood in front of the bridge alone and held it until the Romans could put it out of commission.

Goofs
During the fight on the bridge near the beginning of the film, a barbarian fighter is slashed and grabs his face with his hands. You can clearly see a Band-Aid on his thumb.

Quotes
Horatio: [Giving his men encouragement at the bridge before being attacked] A Roman makes a good hero if he dies at the end of a battle, but if he gets killed in the first skirmish, he's a fool.

Good Looking Dud

Good looking spectacle with a cast of tens. You can see that actors are playing both sides in what amounts to a Euro-western set in the ancient world. Its Etruscans vs Romans with the woman taken hostage after they dressed as Roman soldiers after their side lost. The dialog is stupid and the romances wobble any hope of a decent story. Its the kind of film that almost seems good but isn't so seems much worse as a result. I've seen it twice by accident and I hope never to see it again.
