This isn't that unlike that, and over a few generations, one could make the leap from 'drugged up warrior' to 'near invincible super strong walking dead', since there was, at least in story telling purposes, little difference between the two.
That would be good material for a movie.

A Celtic fort holding off wave after wave of super strong, super fast, nonsensical jabbering undead warriors.

I'd seriously like to see a movie like that.

One or two may be higher). Though, they also fight naked (so no armor but their shields), and cavalry can run them down.
Why did they fight naked exactly? and did the Romans ever put anything like that into practice? or would these drugged up warriors have been too hard to control?
