What extra (serious and humorous) scene/s and / or extra footage would you like to have seen filmed and / or included in the almost 20 minutes of footage restored back on the new 3 disc DVD of Gladiator, whether it was actually filmed for the Gladiator movie, or wasn't (but you wish that it was) ?

Unfortunately, telephones didn't exist in those days, so Maximus can't use one.

I wish there was an alternate ending to the opening battle sequence in Germania, where, like in the film version, the fighting degenerates to disorganized one-on-one combat, only in this version it's more historically accurate and the Germans kick the Romans' asses.

Catapault bombardment or no, there's no way in hell a Roman soldier could match a German soldier in solo melee combat. The only way the Romans could beat them was to stay in formation.

Personally, I'd rather see it lose scenes. I'm probably alone among film geeks, but I think too many movies are too long. Not everything requires the epic "Lord of the Rings" treatment, and I fear that Gladiator is a film that can only be made worse with more length. It still won't be as absurdly overblown as Meet Joe Black, though.

What's with you posting this exact same question in several different forums across the vast expanses of the Internet all of a sudden? Why the urgency?

To answer your question, the only extra scene I needed was Lucillia being slowly, lovingly bathed by her teen handmaidens.
