@EpicFilip I daresay that was most uncalled for. There's a fine line between slaying these beasts for entertainment and doing so for nourishment! Would you have us set back to the barbarism of the Roman Empire - as it is depicted here, in fact?
@TheSevenCamels You should me more concerned about human deaths, not animal ones. Those animals that died were 5? 6? lets say 20 to be on the safe side. How many thousands are killed for food?? The purpose doesn;t matter, a death is a death, unless there are honor issues.
And watch your mouth when calling the Romans barbarians. You have never even dreamed of barbarism. They were the most civillised people of their time.
@EpicFilip I daresay we can settle our disagreements on that, then? Though our opinions differ, we can both settle in the fact that a film is nothing to argue over, now that we have both seen how fruitless it can be! ^^

@atalaya1980 Ummmm...okay, lol. I assure you, AIDS and leprosy are not the same disease. Some people with AIDS can be victims to developing leprosy...but they are completely seperate and different.
@JMRwazup Urban legend!!! The only injury during the race was a cut in the chin suffered by the guy (the stunt arranger Yakima Canutts son) who made the "jump" and fell off his chariot. The guy who falls in front of the horses, and the one who is run over, are dummies, just as Messala when he gets trampled by the horses. All carefully arranged and rehearsed.
" Pontius Pilate here ? ". " Yes, and ready to grind his heel into us. But you will show him what men are born of in this land. " " There is no law in the arena. Many are killed. ".
@METALLICARULES11 Funny thought, but I would say that it is most likely not the case. Even if it were to be probable that a closed-circuit tv camera was accidentally left on set, cameras in the 1950s were not of the quality to produce such a modern compact appearance. Any way, it is simply scaffolding that has an identical post in about the position of the background statue's tongue.
This scene is also proof that today our society and the human condition being what it is we are not all that far removed from Ancient Rome.
They had these chariot races where people were killed and people cheered the wrecks....today we have NASCAR where people cheer the crashes. Thankfully NASCAR deaths are rare and far between, but the love for violence and destruction is still very much a part of the human condition.
@edualym ya but Transformers n da Fast n da Furious have brilliant CG & loads of hot horny bitches in dem, grow a brain. Only losers r fags watch boring old movies wit no CG or hot sex. YOU FAIL. RaSpex.
why doesn't this movie have over 500,000 votes from users on IMdb with like 9.6/10???
I guess it's just how people see Christianity nowadays. MGM was is one of the few epic-making companies in Hollywood that doesn't spit on Christianity like the now drugged out anti-right anti-American Hollywood.
I'd almost say "Impeach" them, but Christ said "Love your enemies, and bless those who spitefully USE you"
@Peterincan dont u like eva tell me wat 2 do, da ya fuckin hear me bitch. I like rap n hip hop n partying hard, I HAVE MORE FUCKING TASTE THAN U LOSER. RaSpex,
Wow i just stumbled across this movie via Snopes.com and i am completely flabergausted at the quality of this action film. This is a truly tremendous scene and honestly CGI doesn't compare when you think about all the planning and skills that went into this scene -not to mention just thinking that it was all acually happening for real is just amazing! I am personally fascinated with the horses and how the actors where trained how to handle chariot horses and how the film was acheived without ...
...injury to the horses (if they did manage this at all) I also love the fact that the stund devil had an unexpected flying moment and just calmly climbed back in and they kept filming :) Anyway VERY amazing and i haven't seen any of the movie except the chariot race. As for the Red car, watch and supposed deaths that occured i would reccomend you lok that up on snopes (a myth varification site) for the entire truth.
@seeing8spots Actually, the stuntman (stunt coordinator Yakima Canutts son) didn't "calmly climb back in and they kept filming". The scene showing Charlton heston "climb back in", was arranged to get continuity, and to allow the use of the of the jump scene. The stuntman recieved a cut in his chin.
I'm 22 years old. When I was in grade school, my mom would show me this when I was too sick to go to school. I'm SO glad she showed me classic movies like this so I can respect REAL action scenes.
What I find amazing is how, even though the chariots are travelling at maybe a fifth the speed of a modern race/chase scene, the filmakers managed to make it just as, if not more intense, than any modern chase scene.
Ahhhh ... I know CGI and modern tech can do wonders for special effects, but I just don't think you can beat good, classic film-making when they filmed exactly what you see on screen. Whether it was a whole army of one hundred horses and a thousand men (a scene in Willow, for example) or an epic chariot race like this - you just cannot match its standard with CGI. Sorry.
One of the greatest movies, so powerful... Especially the scene where Jesus gives Ben Hur water as he lay dying on the ground. Certainly don't make movies like this anymore, today's movies are sick and perverted, and have no moral. This movie's more than 3 hours, but certainly doesn't feel like it! GO and watch it for yourselves, the acting, the dialogue, the music, the scenes are all PERFECT!
Computer-generated movies today aren't even as realistic and professional as this movie. I've watched this movie for over twenty years and it's my all-time favorite!
Hey you guys know this is an actual free-for-all race and the director was going reward first place with money . that's why the race looks mysteriously "realistic" -cracked.com
the crash at 0:40 was unplanned but because of how well the stuntman kept his composure (eve though he was injured) they decided to work it into the scene.... also surely there must have been rules regarding those killer wheel spike things!
also you can see the other famous crash scene, where joe canutt, double of charlton, also the son of another talented stunt ( yakima canutt who coordinated the entire scene) was flipped into the air.
the crash at 0:40 was unplanned but because of how well the stuntman kept his composure (eve though he was injured) they decided to work it into the scene
@kinGkledodle Wikipedia says that that was a lie. It also says that the story of a red ferrari in the scene was made up as well, and i trust wikipedia...
@khushhands0me niño cuantos años tienes como para darte el lujo de no apreciar un verdadero clasico de la producción de hollywod? sin duda que no los suficientes!!...jjj
@RobertMProductions because they read that a small red car was in this scene way off in the distance and hestons is wearing a watch its just a funny movie blooper or what ever they call it ...
You seem to act quite righteous, and as though you're a connoisseur of sorts, but I have a feeling that your words are about as deep as the height of that paragraph. You're just trying to stand out among the storm of bad grammar, but I assure you that your comment is as meaningless as all of our comments.
And how dare you call Fast and Furious crap? It's a movie that was produced by talented people, starred talented people, and written by brilliant minds.
@thePENANCE 5 months ago, I watch this video and see that the top comments are from a bunch of ignorant people complaining about not being able to find some red car which was supposedly off in the distance in this scene. The top comments should be about how amazing this scene is, not about some car. People are so unappreciative of what's right in front of them. And with Fast and Furious, it's just quick and briefly exciting, with shaky cameras, dull stories, bland characters and no deep meaning.
I can't tell whether or not you're using sarcasm. Fast and the furious is total shit compared to a movie like ben hur. I mean, none of the actors in F&F can even hold a candle compared to Heston.
Well, I think Ben-Hur is a better film than the fast and the furious, we'll agree to disagree. If you don't like this movie I guess that's understandable. I don't like romantic comedies.
I've yet to deny that Ben Hur is a good movie. Hell, I've got no problem denying that it's great, but you shouldn't just come on to the videos, flaming other effort in an effort to get thumbs up. If you like it, great, just don't put others down, you've no right to and I have a feeling that you'd never be able to make something NEARLY as good as either of the movies, and neither could I. They do require talent. Both of the movies are well made in their own ways.
I saw this in the movie theater. If you think it's great on YouTube, you should see it in a theater. OMG. With the exception of a couple of scenes, Charlton Heston is really driving the horses. I saw an interview with him many years later and he said he still carried the scars from these scenes. Movies like this is why CGI will NEVER replace the thrill of the real thing.
This film was all about doing the right thing and being good, But did they ever catch the thiefing toe-rag who nick his protective hellmet at the end of the race. Its no wonder there lots trouble in the world today If they allowed them to get away with that kind of behaviour in them there olden times.
Wow, this is awesome. I can watch it thousand times. Actually not only me. It was the longest scene in the world cinematography (11 min totally) and one of the most intence and breathtaking. The film makers even was not sure that people will be watching this but it turned out that you are just glue to it...so good it is. Thank you for this upload !
No red car.There is a man in a red tunic in a red chariot driving a chestnut team.He is the red car.There were no deaths in this movie.the deaths ocurred during the ben hur silent movie ,not this one
I watch and re-watch this scene (AND movie!) for its exquisite inspiration and cinematography, created in a time long before the advent computers... THIS was TRUE moviemaking and Hollywood at its very best!

And with Fast and Furious, it's just quick and briefly exciting, with shaky cameras, dull stories, bland characters and no deep meaning.

I can't tell whether or not you're using sarcasm. Fast and the furious is total shit compared to a movie like ben hur. I mean, none of the actors in F&F can even hold a candle compared to Heston.

@suny123boy1 No, I'm not sarcastic. I'm slightly on-edge because you see to think that just because Ben-Hur is older, it's better.
You should learn the concept of "opinion."

Well, I think Ben-Hur is a better film than the fast and the furious, we'll agree to disagree. If you don't like this movie I guess that's understandable. I don't like romantic comedies.

I've yet to deny that Ben Hur is a good movie. Hell, I've got no problem denying that it's great, but you shouldn't just come on to the videos, flaming other effort in an effort to get thumbs up. If you like it, great, just don't put others down, you've no right to and I have a feeling that you'd never be able to make something NEARLY as good as either of the movies, and neither could I. They do require talent. Both of the movies are well made in their own ways.

this movie is a classic, perfect film. Being old has nothing to do with it, you fucking moron! F&F is crap

It was planned but the stuntman in the scene did receive a gash on his chin requiring 4 stitches. They still used the scene though.

I saw this in the movie theater. If you think it's great on YouTube, you should see it in a theater. OMG. With the exception of a couple of scenes, Charlton Heston is really driving the horses. I saw an interview with him many years later and he said he still carried the scars from these scenes. Movies like this is why CGI will NEVER replace the thrill of the real thing.

This film was all about doing the right thing and being good, But did they ever catch the thiefing toe-rag who nick his protective hellmet at the end of the race. Its no wonder there lots trouble in the world today If they allowed them to get away with that kind of behaviour in them there olden times.

Wow, this is awesome. I can watch it thousand times. Actually not only me. It was the longest scene in the world cinematography (11 min totally) and one of the most intence and breathtaking. The film makers even was not sure that people will be watching this but it turned out that you are just glue to it...so good it is. Thank you for this upload !
Best wishes, Cathy.

I watch and re-watch this scene (AND movie!) for its exquisite inspiration and cinematography, created in a time long before the advent computers... THIS was TRUE moviemaking and Hollywood at its very best!

So instead of having 4 horses pull the carriage couldn't they just ride on one of the horses? I don't get chariot racing.
