Now that is a trailer...
@WereKitten... I really doubt that anyone cares about realism enough at this point. However, those "Hollywood" battles with tigers and such did happen.
The animal battles continued for about 100 years after the Roman Emperor Honorius outlawed Gladiatorial combat because so many men died.
Most Gladiators didn't live past ten battles. So while it's true, that not all battles ended in death, almost all gladiators died in the coliseums.
I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
