300




300 muscular men into olive oil, contact sports and long hair fight to save the civilised world from destruction. Their leader is called Leonidas. His name literally means ‘Warrior with the Lion-Sized Testicles.’ 

He is famous for his laconic sense of humour (as well as his testicles). At the start of the battle Leonidas says, “Either that’s the Persians or the new vacuum cleaners have arrived.”

They all die.
