300 is actually an adaptation of the bf2s EU young vs. old event that we had when there were only 9 guys in the young team and gazillion on the old team. only problem was that it wouldn't sound that good to name a movie "9" so they went for the more gaudy number of "300".
And this quote-->
guy about to die: "This is madness"
guy about to kill guy about to die: "This is SPARTA!!!!" followed by power kick sending guy about to die flying
was actually a re-enactment of an epic moment in that event-->
goldman: "This is madness"
soup: "This is SUPERFLY!!!!" followed by tank round sending goldman flying
