Storyline:Director Griffith""s original budget of $40,000 (expanded o $60,000) quickly ballooned, so Griffith appealed to businessmen and other investors to help finance the film - that eventually cost $110,000! The propagandistic film was one of the biggest box-office money-makers in the history of film, partly due to its exorbitant charge of $2 per ticket - unheard of at the time.It co-stars the two greatest masters of the horror genre.It marked the first of their seven joint appearances in feature films.One of the themes of the film was the age-old struggle between good and evil science, diabolically personified by Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff - the lead stars of Universal""sDracula (1931)andFrankenstein (1931).At the microphone for a post-match speech, Rocky thanked Apollo for the hard-fought battle, Mickey for training him, and he thanked God.The enslaved humans were taunted by young boys in the street who threw stones at them, and cautioned by ""human"" rights activist Ari (Helena Bonham Carter) to not be cruel to the new batch of slaves, although she was derided as a "human lover.It says here, you, uh, killed a man with your bare hands.We don""t use hands here, we use guns.Oh, and I""ll tell ya another thing we use for cons who don""t toe the mark.The whip! Understand?"He was paired with long-timer cellmate Hunk Houghton (Mickey Shaughnessy), a grumpy, washed-up ex-country western singer who had been in jail for 8 years.
