RE: 300
yeah that battle has to be one of the greatest military feats in all of history...it puts hanibal to shame....300 spartans against the entire persian army....the tactics in that battle were amazing, lets put the persians in a straight line along a coast with the mountains on teh other side so we can bottle-neck them thus causing them to die at the might of spartan warriors trained since childhood...this very idea caused the persians to look like dumbasses....i dont see why this tactic didnt appear more often throughout history, exp against large armies, such as those of the romans....

Aparenly it took them a long time to come up with an appropriate for all viewers trailer for the movie, cause there are so many scenes that are gory and violent they were having trouble finding ones for the trailer
