Gladiator Movie Question?

Question

If I remember correctly, there was a silver mask with a blank expression on it. Where can you find these to purcahse it. I remember I wanted one a few years ago but never checked into it. I can't even remember if it's from gladiator or not lol. Can someone help me

Answer 1

It was Gladiator. The mask your thinking of is part of the helmet worn by the "Returning Champion" that Maximus faces along with the 4 tigers. The pic doesn't show it very well, but you can see a bit of it here...

I haven't had any luck finding that particulat mask and helmet, but I did find the helmet that Maximus wears during the "Recreation of the Battle of Carthaige" (shown here...)

There is a contact number in the upper right under the "United Cutlery Brands" logo. It's an 800 number to the company that sells the armor and weapons, they may be able to do a Special Order to recreate the mask. If not, they may be able direct you to the armorers they contract out to and you can contact them instead to see if they'll do the Special Order.

After thinking about it a bit more, there is another "emotionless mask" I remember, but its not exactly silver...

It's the mask Tom Cruise's character wore during the mansion party in Eyes Wide Shut. I've tried a quick search, but couldn't find any intitial sites that you can get this mask either, if it is one you were thinking of, sorry.

If the one form Gladiator is the silver one you were thinking of, there are someother armor & weapons sites, but most of the initial ones I checked out focused mainly of Medieval and Reniessance era and not Roman era. I only took a quick look at those, so I may have missed contact options where you may be able to Special Order from them.
