Do you mean the Immortals in the masks? The Immortals were the elite of Xerxes and named because their number never went under 10,000 because there were always people to replace them. I don't know what you're talking about, they don't fight any Vikings. Vikings were across the world, and they weren't really even prominent during the time of the war, I don't think...If so, a few had been conquered and annexed into Xerxes' side, because he had conquered quite a few nations according to the movie.

what you see are the armies of the conquered nations under xerces rule

You didn't see many of their faces. I believe it was only one Immortal whose face you saw. They may have undergone a strict treatment possibly even worse than the Spartans. This particular person may have simply been a burn victim, or maybe some people have to make some sacrifice to rise in the ranks of the fictional Immortals in the movie. For instance, some of them may have cut out their eye --- this could be an entrance into manhood and so awe-inspiring they may become a general. You can tell they're used to that kind of shit because they don't look shaken at all by the wall of dead bodies.

And who makes a hole that big? It's obvious. That's how they traded with China.

i heard that last shower of arrows actually happened too, but that the king died in the middle of battle he didnt last till the end, but that someone else got that shower of arrow treatment

The reason that only 300 muhfuckas fought is cause the rest of the army wasn't ready to go to war yet...

What happened is Xerxes was afraid there are more Spartans waiting around for an ambush, and they were just as strong as the 300. Eventually he did march in, and Xerxes burned down Sparta and Athens and all the rest. The battle at the end I believe was the Battle of Marathon, where the story of Nike came from. It wasn't the full force of the Xerxes army, and I'm quite sure it wasn't just the Spartan army either. The Greeks barely had shit for armies because they had been in a state of civil war for many years, and eventually banded together for a common cause. Xerxes was eventually repelled not from land forces but in a navy force where his fleet went against an Athenian fleet. It was rather like the 300 spartans, because they basically channeled the Persian army into a very small area of water, and had rams attached to their smaller, more manueverable ships. They ended up battering the shit out of the Persian fleet, taking out something like 1/4th of the fleet. Xerxes retreated.

And there were no fucking Vikings. Wikipedia it if you want the true historical account. Though it doesn't seem like it, the movie is actually a bit historically accurate, but there are quite a few gaps in it. It would've been a much longer movie and not called 300 at all if it focused on the rest of Greece. It was a movie centered upon the Spartans at the Battle of Thermopylae and the inspiration to the Greeks, NOT Xerxes and his invasion.

Anyway, I may have a few facts mixed up. Wikipedia it if you're really interested, and yes, wikipedia really is a reliable source in the matter.

This was a movie about the Spartans, not Xerxes vrs. Greece. Part two may be about the Battle of Marathon, and there would probably be a few interesting scenes with the Athenians if they focused on what the Spartans called 'boy lovers and philosophers' in the beginning of 300. (I DID see the movie only once, but I have a good memory). Ships versus Kraken or sea monsters or whatever on Xerxes' side, perhaps. The Battle of Marathon. Things like that.

Wait, what the fuck am I talking about...The Battle of Marathon was with Darius, Xerxes' father.
