Yes, donkey, rhynos, a tiger but in the cage, and a battle ships.. those naval battles actually happened but they were in the Circus Maximus not in the Coliseum as in the movie. Anyway it's not that I was watching it for some historical realistic representation but more cause as teenager I liked the first one.

Dei actors, yeah but not so much, stupid and empty messages, poor story.. even a kid wouldn't like it much I believe.
