I think even though i wanted the apache to win the gladiator should have had at least 100 more kills and to glatiatior fans that think the helmet could still let theme see yes you can see though but i tried one on and i could only see about 30 feet in front of me and that is not good when you have an enemy with a bow n arrow that is less then 2 feet long and about 10 centemeters so when he was hit with the bow in the stomic right then i said to my self "omg he is so screwed." And I would like to congragulate the apache fans, dessendents and all indians for that mater you say you wanted revenge on the white man well the gladiator was white so there you go and if you don't agree with me i have some indian friends here in PA that do.

The bloodiest Deadliest Warrior I have ever seen. The fight scene wasn't that great, because the gladiator didn't barely do anything to defend. This is a good episode, but wasn't great.

one thing that is historically inaccurate is that when the president of the gladiatorial fight held a thumbs down it meant let the man live if it was a thumbs up it meant kill him also one fight i would really like to see is Apache vs Ninja all in all i do agree that the Apache should have won due to the fact that the gladiator is not is not equipped well enough for the job of fighting an Apache

hey said some dumb things lol... like after the first commercial part thing the gladiator ppl said " a gladiator does only one thing; kills AND lives"...im thought thats two...

dont get m wrong, gladitor training was hard, but spartan was harder... gladiators used wooden swords whereas spartans used metal swords and weapons to train and started at age 8...

The apache wins with a long bow due to the tricks they can pull off with it unlike the gladiator whose bow was no made for opponents who move around a lot cause it is a rigid Bow When it comes to indian american fighting there better on counter attacks from close range slicing vital points in the body disabling the opponent look it up it pretty cool. FYI the gladiator helmet was built so he can only look foward it was kind of a tradition of never backing out. they couldn't tell if some one is behind them. it's in the history books.

Why would they even have an Apache on deadliest warrior? Talk about an inferior warrior. The white man destroyed them within a year and put their ass on a reservation and now they drink beer and build casinos. MUAHAHAHA Apache my ass. Hey lets shoot an arrow at a repeating rifle. The gladiators where slaves who fought in a ring. They didn't fight wars idiots.

actually gladiators where more commonly free-men that entered servitude gave up freedom and became a gladiator. Also they typically weren't ripped, recent data and skeletal remains show that gladiators where heavy set men, with several layers of fat (to protect their vital organs).

I knew the apache was going to win. Its no contest. I don't want to offend anybody routing for the gladiator, but his weapons were completley underrated. So the apache was destined to win. After all, a sling vs a bow and arrow, it is shere stupidity to think to think if the sling would beat the bow and arrow.

i would kinda like to ask why the scissor wasnt even used in the fake fight and how the ONE HIT KILL (every single time no matter what) weapon only got 25 kills out of 1000 fights
did they like take the cestus kills and go "oh yeah well whatever thats the scissor's kills that its the same attack range"
bull **** gladiators would ****ing win hands down
HOW COULD THE FREAKING STONE AND LEATHER MACE GET AAAAAAAAAAANYYYYYYYYYYY KILLS IN THE SIMULATOR IF THEY SHOWED IT WOULD BREAK BEFORE BREAKING THROUGH THE GLADIATOR HELMET!

either their stupid ****ing "computer whiz" is mentally retarded or their lil harry potter program is

THIS IS THE SINGLE WORST EPISODE OF THIS SHOW I'VE SEEN. GLADIATORS WERE AROUND IN 'BIBLICAL' TIMES, ALRIGHT? APACHES WERE AROUND ROUGHLY 1600 YEARS AFTER GLADIATORS!!! WHY DON'T THEY JUST HAVE AN EPISODE WITH AN AIRBORNE RANGER FIGHTING A MONGOL... RIDICULOUS, BUT THE WEAPONS WERE INTERESTING AND DEVASTATING. SHOULD HAVE BEEN GLADIATOR/VIKING. WOULD HAVE BEEN A LOT BETTER AND CLOSER IN RANGE.

As usual, I agree with the results of the match, but this one was the only one which had obvious explaination and clear results. In real battle it always comes down the projectile technology first, than armor technology, in the unlikely event that the battle even becomes melee, than their melee capabilities ensue. The Apache bow was just too effective against the slingshot, it is naturally more effective and accurate, and even if the gladiator used a roman style bow, it's a pretty obvious assumption that an apache is more practiced with it, it's their bread and butter.

I only wish the other shows did a better job of explaining the advantages and disadvantages, as well as a better reenactment, after all, the battle was done in computer, the actual fight scene is just a dramatization.

Its amazing how many people this pissed off, why do some of you have such a problem with native americans? Even the Gladiator dudes on the show were dicks compared to the Apache dudes. The point of this show is to tell which one would win using the SKILLS THAT THEY ARE USED TO USING against eachother.. live with it.

Im not sure why but its pretty obvious that some of you guys are prejudice against native americans. Gladiators were mostly scumbags who fought because they had to and most of them hated it and were scared. Apaches were trained to fight since they were children, it was definately a fair fight. Even if the fight took place in a dome where gladiators fought the Apache would still win due to their speed MIXED with strength and skill with ranged weapons.

People need to stop complaining. if anyone noticed the Apache got more kills with his knife then the gladiator got with his trident AND net combo. i mean come on if anything that show how much more skill full they are. ALSO the gladiator got 6 weapons and the Apache got 4 need i remind you ALSO that they didn't even take into account the fact the gladiator would never even see the apache because of its stealth. this means that you people should just shut up!

41. hbomber600 Posted on Jul 24 '09 at 1:41 PM

This is the only fight I disagreed with the end result. First off the romans had bows as well. Secondly slings were proven to be as deadly (and sometimes more deadly) than the early bows (like the Apaches had). If you don't have the expert to use the weapon, either find one or drop that weapon and use another one. Thirdly the knife got 266 kills which I have to heavily disagree with. Knife throwing is heavily overrated in Hollywood films. Even Gil Hibben (a leading expert on throwing knives and an accomplished martial artist) says that rarely is it a good idea to throw a knife in a fight for several reasons. One, the likelihood of it sticking in the target is minimal, much less it be a death blow. Snake threw three knives at unmoving targets at paper. Needless to say that human flesh is tougher than paper. It is also obvious that throwing knives at a moving target isn't very effective. The net was overlooked in blocking projectiles as was the shield. Also how did the club get 60 kills? It was broken by the defense when it had the best possible position (from behind). And as for the weapon selection, drop the scissor because it would be way too cumbersome and assign the sica as the short range and have the cestus as the special weapon.

Not all battlles can by won with sheer force and toughness alone you have to think when you fight. Going to battle without thinking is the highest point of foolishness, you don't know what the enemy is up to and it is that sort of mentalty that made the gladiators suffer a total ignominious defeat. It does not matter if you fought numerous speices of animals,other gladiators or had better weapons and armor, there will always by a warrior who's skills in war will surpass that of another. The apaches art of battle was just to advanced, to fast, and to alien for the gladiators to understand. Remember gladiators are not a milliatry class warrior, they were not trained in the art of warfare as highly as other warrior class. The apaches were not of millitary class either but acted as a balanced, covert unit who used millitary style hit and run tactics to crush there foes. They were masters of stealth tactics and though some may see there style of battle as cowardly, all warfare is deception. To become a true master of war you must look beyond the weapon and the armor and master both the physical and mental arts of war and battle only then will you become The Deadliest Warrior. Its just that simple.

All of that think the Apache should of won is retarded. Gladiators lived fighting everyday. Apaches didn't fight everyday. Apaches weaponry may be faster but the gladiators were stronger and tougher.Gladiators would fight tigers, chariots, other animals, and other gladiators so, the gladiator should have won.

ok this is bs. no offense but the gladiators were trained in the art of brutal combat with hand to hand weapons made of actual METAL. you know what the Apaches had they had STONE clubs and clothes to cover there dongs and face paint. the gladiators had METAL armor that none of the Apache weapons could have pierced. so lets get this right you bring your stone mallet and your cloth armor and ill bring my metal swords and metal armor and will see who dies first.
