- Crossman had to produce over 500 sets of Roman armor and 500 sets of Numidian armor in just 12-13 weeks, a daunting task that required meticulous planning and a race against the clock to get everything shipped to Morocco and Malta on time.
- While staying true to the iconic look of the original Gladiator film, Crossman put his own spin on key elements like the Praetorian Guard and Roman army officer uniforms, balancing innovation with familiarity for Ridley Scott's distinctive vision.
