I bet he’s thinking “Wish that b*tch would go away, so I can watch those men in loincloths and go back to w*nking.”

“57 channels, and nothing’s on…”

“Coming tonight on Bravo Midnight Classics: The Leather-Clad Centurion… Sandals and Loincloths… Sweaty Gladiators… and Big Shiny Spears.“

Pah, whatever happened to the real men like Steve Reeves?

Perhaps he’s looking for his briefs! Bah-dum-psht.

I love it when men fight with swords of fire…..or maybe it is the schwartz!

OMG that looks like Han Solo in is dungarees with his latest space floozy, and they have hijacked the enterprise and are watching Spartacus on the viewscreen!

For one horrified moment I thought the title was Gladiator In-Laws, and that the lady on the cover was looking aghast at her new husband’s family. Thank heavens it’s only Gladiator At Law!

I’ve counted, and it’s mathematically and anatomically correct – but she looks as if she has too many fingers.

I perused this very edition at my local used bookstore just recently. The plot’s just as cheesy as the cover.

Well, I may not be a fancy pants city gladiator, but there is one thing of which I am sure … just as sure as my gladius will kill a witness, my client is innocent.
If the glaive does not fit, you must acquit.

“Mommy, what is that gladiator doing to that other gladiator?”

And yet here we have another example of the early light saber, this one pre-The Drawing of the Dark and involving less clothing.

Those people have huge hands! Seriously, chest-wound dude looks like he swapped hands with a gorilla. Even the woman’s hand is enormous. Has anyone read the book? Is it a plot point that the characters have hands the size of catcher mitts?

Call me slooowww, but I’ve only just realised that the two guys in the background are carrying olympic torches. Or, more precisely, the one on the left is holding an olympic torch with an amazing, gravity defying, slanted flame; while the one on the right is somehow balancing his on his index finger. No wonder everyone on this cover looks confused.

“Honey, the Middle East is in flames and there’s talk of revolution over here…”
“Not now, woman! Can’t you see I’m watching the game??”

Is that a young Jeff Goldbum?
February 25th, 2011 at 10:27 am
Wait I meant Goldblum!!! ….. or did I …

It’s Barbie with Kung-Fu Grip!

What “24″ fans really crave. (And they’ll get it… in the future!)

Joey, do you like movies about gladiators?
March 1st, 2011 at 12:18 pm
And what, exactly, is he DOING with his oversized left claw? Opening peanut butter? Peeling paint chips? Killing a car hood with the Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique?

If you squint your eyes it looks like those gladiators aren’t fighting.

@ JuanPaul: The damsel may have worked that one out already.
Is anyone else curious about the book in the background marked FIRST TIME IN PRINT?
