The amazing picture at the right is the first official poster for Gladiators v Werewolves: Edge of Empire, AKA “Clash of the Lycans“. Sorry it’s not bigger. (Second time I’ve said that today.) It’s got a colon in the title with an unnecessary, meaningless subtitle, so you know it’s good.
Word reaches Governor Flavius that the Emperor has decreed that new, more fearsome beasts should be captured for the games. The ambitious Governor, having heard rumours of the fierce wolf-beasts beyond the great wall, senses an opportunity to win favour with the Emperor and even a place in the senate. The heroic Centurian, Titus, is tasked with hunting and trapping the wolf-creatures.
You can read the rest of the synopsis at AV Pictures if you want the entire plot spoiled for you (good job, guys). Then again, is it possible to spoil the plot of something called Gladiators versus Werewolves? As long as there are gladiators fighting werewolves, who needs a plot? But I don’t think we’ve fully tapped the well of
“___ versus werewolves” yet. I look forward to watching all of these at the theater on YouTube:
- Unicorns with Rabies versus Werewolves
- Zombie John Wayne versus Werewolves
- Vikings versus Werewolves
- The Minnesota Vikings versus Werewolves
- Werewolves on the Moon versus Vampires (wait, that’s already a comic)
- Kramer versus Kramer versus Werewolves
- Werewolves versus Bikers
Wait, that last one is already a movie:





The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea vs. Werewolves (and capitalist swine)
Governor Terminatius X could only muster up some shaved baboons and a tortoise.
Er, if Wikipedia is to be believed, Governor Terminatius X would likely show up with some ostriches.
