This was BEFORE Cgi.

*Absolutely every single character, structure, weapon, and COSTUME had to be done individually*

“It’s just a casual get together. Please don’t be extra.”

Me when I arrive:

[Elayzee]

The amount of work for this scene alone….wow!!

[TCWRebelsResistanceWords]

This is, without a doubt, the best scene in the entire film! And just imagine how long it took to film this scene! With all the costumes, the choreography, the extras, the music, the set designs, and this being only 9 minutes (the ENTIRE scene) out of a 4-hour long film, I mean, come on, it’s no wonder why this film very nearly bankrupted 20th Century Fox Studios! But even after nearly 60 years, it’s still a classic film that was an investment well worth spent!

The fact they were able to make something this impressive in 1963 really says something

[Evolution-ldhe]

That entrance was the ultimate level of "EXTRA".

I wish movies were still created this way, no special effects, and their costume and everything look so well made and damn, Elizabeth Taylor is gorgeous!

Just watched this film a couple of hours ago. The amount of work that the actors and choreographers had to do to create a breathtaking scene is pretty impressive and the fact that this was filmed in 1963 shows the impeccable talent that people shows. Truly one of my favorites.

[ckymadam]

I feel my wallet burning by watching this clip.

[Elst]

They don't make 'em like this anymore. An absolute classic. 👍❤️

Elizabeth Taylor must be in the running for the most beautiful woman ever, her beauty is magical really

[mmsw.]

And that's why I prefer true physical talents. Not cgi. This is a beautiful masterpiece.

The little boy who played Cleopatra son was really frightened being up on that high sphinx. Elizabeth Taylor reassured the little digger that everything was going to be ok while the scene was being filmed.

[steviea]

Spectacular! Notice the great detail in the background.
No CGI.

[AAvfx]

*No one can pull up a production like this nowadays. That's a fact!* 😲

[kiddobix]

Studio: how EXTRA do you want this movie to be?
Elizabeth T: YES

[ashrafsuleiman]

من قلب مصر شكرا للدراما التي ذكرت زمن الحضارة المصرية الفرعونية
مصر بلد جميل يستحق الزيارة
اكتب بالعربية و اتمنى منكم ترجمة و قراءة تعليقي
مصر ترحب بزائريها

In an interview Elizabeth Taylor said that during the scene where the slaves are carrying her and son down the stairs on that self leveling platform (they had to do a couple of takes), she said she was so terrified, that she was holding on to the back of that kids hair so hard, that she almost ripped the kids hair out by the roots!

[Hokunin]

I hope she didn't drive all the way from Egypt to Rome on that extremely slow structure
