Goofs:

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): During the scene of the Spartans moving out, they sing "I will Survive". Sonio is clearly seen singing alone, it isn't audible, but you can see his lips singing the song before the music or anyone else is singing.

Quotes:

Leonidas: I'm assembling an army to go to war with Persia. I'm going to take them in the rear... and then I'm gonna reach around, and I'm gonna take them again from the front!

Swing It

Horrible, I hated it!!!

This was one of the worst films I can say I have ever seen in my lifetime!!!

The spoofs were corny and stupid and the movie was like an hour long.

The movie is like an hour of hell.

I hope they never make a movie this bad again!!!

I also would like to see a really good spoof movie in the future... i really enjoyed scary movie 1 and 2.

One way to solve the problem is to get the Wayans bros. back into spoofing too.

Overall .5 out of 10 (yes .5)

get ready for a horrible ride of spoofs!!
