Yes, Archea, those bolded words are exactly the point.

Wait, what was Breakin' 1 called? I remember exiting that movie (yes, I saw it in a theater in 1983(?)) and seeing 2 guys having a breakdance fight right outside. I thought that Ashland, Oregon had really arrived.

Yea at one point the drama is based on Maximus' penchant for extreme and quick violence, while the crowd supposedly wants a slower fight. That the crowd eventually loves him for his ability to dispatch his foes so quickly is a pretty important plot point as I recall. Lots of decapitation. LotR has a couple decapitations, but without all the spraying blood.
