Today’s kids will never know this is how we played outside when there were no phones or internet.

*_As a kid - this scene (really this whole movie) showed me how important it is to have strategy_*

Love him or hate him Mel Gibson can make one hell of a movie. Apocalypto is definitely in my top 10

Not a single phone in sight, just ppl enjoying the moment.

It’s really sad, his buddy told him to run and sacrificed his life to save him from the same fate as his fellow comrades, true friends till the end

This is how we used to play dodgeball in school.

When the big dude tells him to run with the mouth full of blood and sacrifices his life just to buy him 10 seconds, that almost got my eyes wet

Just by hearing the noise of the arrow flying by next to him gives me chills

Can we give credit to the actors who played the villains? They were truly scary in their roles.

I remember people cheered loudly in the theater when Zero Wolf’s son fell on the ground and Jaguar Paw stood up. I get chills remembering the roar of applause at the shot.

The actors were perfect as well, all of the bad Aztec characters and esp their boss in particular.

Loved seeing the macuahuitl, staff sling, and atlatl in action. They are seriously underrated weapons.

One of the best movies of all time, still after soo many years!

I never get tired of watching this movie. Watched it 12 times. Always satisfying

This movie didn't need dramatic music just to make it intense. The silence and the raw sounds makes it really scary as a child watching this

Man, Jaguar paw was a beast. Gets an arrow all the way through him, breaks it off (moving his innards around in the process, no doubt) and still has the strength to block the incoming blow and then kill his attacker with just an arrowhead. Props!

I dunno, running through that dry-ass corn field might have hurt worst than that arrow.

Moral of the story. Don't run in a straight line.😢

This was a remarkable recruiting effort to find all these guys. They all look the part, are very athletic, and most of them in their 20s. There was a couple native tribesmen from the USA (the big guy who couldn't have kids, and Jaguar Paw's father) so it was wasn't *fully* accurate, but splendid cast and production team nonetheless.

As heartless as Zero Wolf is to the captives, his first instinct is to go to his son as opposed to chase Jaguar Paul, that detail is a very nice touch as it adds nuance and a sense of humanity to his character, you even almost feel bad for him.

Their running capabilities are amazing!

Tuve el gusto de visitar México. Puedo aseverar que esta película demuestra, escuetamente, como es vivir en Iztapalapa.

This film was Wild when it came out. I saw it in 2006. The guy who was hunted was Simple, Humble & Righteous. The other ones whom were embellished were Punk Rock, had lots of Ego…. This film struck me on a deep level. One of my favorites of all time.

One of the best scenes ever created

Super underrated movie. Got over shadowed by 10,000 BC which actually wasn’t that bad but by no means as good as this film

The acting is incredible..the expressions they make tells a story

One of the most thrilling scenes in cinema. Although it’s historically inaccurate, Mel Gibson did right by Meso-America for even MAKING this movie.

This is the most underrated movie of all time. That makes me sad

4:29 Mayan dude speaks random English "Get off of me!"

Retired clinical psychologist here: I had a client born and raised in Romania. I asked about his time in Romania. He said it was okay except for walking to school . . . he had to run from the wolves at times. 😮😮😮

Despite all the historical inaccuracies, this movie is still great!

I love this movie! Mayans and Anasazi were interesting people! Ancestors to my ppl

What critics (idiots) said about this masterpiece... "People are curious about this movie because of what might be called extra-textual reasons, because its director is an erratic and charismatic Hollywood figure who would have totally marginalized himself by now if he didn't possess a crude gift for crafting violent pop entertainment."

man, that was CRAZY

How can someone be so mercyless like that..

Always up to watch this movie, so good! The goons in this flick were scary as hell. The fact that they are so ruthless, callous and insidious makes them terrifying.

And my history teacher senior year played this

i literally played this with my younger brother i made him run back to the house and if he made it inside he was safe and would throw these spear martial arts sticks at him like a spear and when i got him it would literally drop him and give real bruises it was thrilling for him and even though he would have massive bruises he would be crying of laughter when he fell and i would charge to give him a few more bruises with a sword like weapon .... it was fun we talk about it all the time now like 13 years later, its fun having a younger brother edit- he ran in a straight line the fool

This movie was fun as hell to watch. I remember being glued to the screen.

Need to see these actors in more movies

these nobody actors killed it in this movie

Seriously one of the best movies i've seen.

Ronaldinho ancestor. That’s why he was so good at football

Imagine the peak physical shape some of these men were at the time?

Middle Eye was a freakin savage in the movie

4:01 Zero Wolf was like: Stand back and watch the master.

Garra Jaguar no libró la muerte sólo, sin duda estas escenas nos tuvieron al filo del asiento a más de uno

There are so many scenes in this movie that from the first time I've watched have stuck with me . I truly love this movie and love Jaguar paw and his tribe or community of people . I'm not sure if Mel Gibson meant for Jaguar paw and his people to be Mayans or just their own community outside of the city of the Mayans . I wanted to see how historically accurate this movie was for the most part . I really loved the ending ... I love how jaguar paw was intelligent enough in avoiding the Europeans at the end , after what history has told us was an enormous mass homicide or basically an annihilation of these tribes of indigenous people as we see Columbus come cruising up. The entire civilization of the Mayans and what we seem to know of them is Incredibly interesting . It's great when film makers like Mel Gibson bring certain topics to people attention , like this entire movie . Throughout this movie I couldn't help feel for Jaguar paw .. knowing situations like this have taken place in the world.. although it was way back in the day , doesn't change the fact that it happened . I believe they should teach this history in schools . Let children know what was really brought about the discovery of America and the fact indigenous people were already here well before Columbus . And because these folks were not nearly as armed as Columbus and his crew . They have writings from Columbus of his experience when coming to America and finding people here before him . What sickens me is the writings of Columbus when he speaks about these indigenous people and how they were so nice and willing to give anything they have .. very generous , although the indigenous people didn't have much tho they would insist that you take it if its needed . Columbus writes how kind the indigenous people are to him . And then he writes right below that how easy it would be to take control of these people and have them do whatever it is you want then to do . He basically lets us know he's a piece of garbage that takes advantage of those who are less fortunate than he is and rather build folks up who have less them him he takes advantage of the situation and takes all off these indigenous folks back to Europe with him as slaves . The thought of someone coming to your home and splitting your family apart , horribly treating your family like their rats and nothing more . Columbus didn't write as tho these people were human , he wrote as if the fact that they were not able to defend themselves they were automatically at the will of his mercy . And he showed his true character by revealing his disgusting heart . Anyone who takes advantage of those that are less fortunate than you or on this case an entire race of people who were just living life in peace before Columbus . Yet , I don't know . I just know in 1493 Christopher Columbus stole all he could see . That's the name of a chapter from a book I have about America history lol anyways this movie was wonderful in many ways . I love Jaguar paw and his father's relationship... His father taught jaguar paw well . Anyways great movie , I love it .

He yelled run to his brother glad he more then brave guy can run fast

this movie deserved more praise and more attention. the walk through the Mayan kingdom on the way to the temple, seeing all those different types of people and their costumes, it was amazing.

Zig Zag running was very smart to do.

As a mixtec person, I watched this movie and felt the sadness of my people for suffering at the hands of the Aztecs

the arrow at 5:15 always makes me flinch 😂

when I saw this movie as a kid, I got on a trauma and it was terrible, but it doesn't change the fact that the movie is good.

Eles responderam: "Creia no Senhor Jesus, e serão salvos, você e os de sua casa". E pregaram a palavra de Deus, a ele e a todos os de sua casa. ATOS 16:31-32 🤎✨

Whenever I watch this I think about those other captives that were just left standing there with their hands tied. I wonder what their next move was. Do you run into the jungle first and then worry about getting untied later, or do you scramble to find a knife and try to cut each other loose first? Trying to cut each other free wouldn't be easy and would take a while and you're bright blue, would only take 1 guy to spot you make sure you don't go anywhere. But running through the jungle with your hands behind your back would not be fun. I think the move is this- you grab whatever knife or sharp object you can find, then run about 100ft into the jungle and try to find a spot out of view behind some big trees, then you take a break and try to cut each other free before you escape to freedom.

Rickon must learn to run like them

Man I gotta watch this movie again!

Watching this when I was 7 was crazy lol

i assume the rest of the tribe were massacred in the back when Jaguar Paw is being hunted down

Apocalypto predicted squid games

One of the greatest movies of the 2000's. Aztec meets Naked Prey

Almost was a straight gangsta 🤣

This movie is great ❤❤❤

lmao just had a random intrusive memory of my cousin yelling “Apocalypto!” when we would play games of football at the park, so you know i had to see this vid again💀 man…2010 was fun, me and my cousins were from 11-15 :/

It would've been Cool and awesome if The Aztec Would keep Talking in their Language so US Native Americans Indigenous Mexícanos could still talk in Nauhtle (The Lost Language) For all of us Aztec-Mexcia, for all my brothers and sisters.

Cool weapon

Im gonna rewatch uggh! ♠️ Mel gibson 🔥

WHO'S ELSE IS HERE AFTER SEEING SQUID GAME?

Crazy to think this actually happened before.

BEST MOVIE EVER!!

One of the greatest movies ever made

I wonder what happened to the other sacrifices that we’re supposed to be “disposed” of, when these guys ran after Jaguar Paw instead. I’m guessing they killed them off screen, left them behind, or it’s a movie mistake.
