Why Robert... a legionary? :lol:
Quote:The flooging scene was awful. i mean, flogging is not something endured so lightly! These whips are heavy and cause immense pain, not to mention bloodloss! The 'stoic' reaction was way too 'hollywood-heroic' for my taste..
Quite right. They should have used a real cat-o-nine-tails on that sucker
