    This is great Im watching Duck Soup as I post this. Talk about a classic. Maybe we shold have a black version of this movie also.
    I found that quite funny when I watched that in my American Film and Culture class.

    This is a non-issue to me, but casting Denzel as Hannibal I found pretty ridiculous. More because of idiotic afro-centric thought, than anything else.
    GAH! GAH! GAH!

    Why don't we make a movie about the Achaemid Persians, and have them be played by Arabs?

    this movie is aimed at the american idol crowd, not the politics debating, wargaming internet crowd ;)
    Gah, any one that clames to be a "rocker" and quit their band to be on a fricken pop singer talent show ought to be thrown out in to the woods, their hair shaven and beard clipped off. That'll teach that stupid Boo!

    If you should stand then who's to guide you?
    If I knew the way I would take you home."

    The Scorpion King still scores pretty high on the 'idiotic race casting' , an Asian as an Egyptian princess ?

    Watch The Conqueror starring John Wayne as Genghis Khan, or Tony Curtis as Ali Baba (1952).

    Now that's good casting
