David Franzoni's original script had Maximus named Narcissus, Commodus being strangled in the baths (as he was by the real Narcissus), the fight at the Colosseum against a rhinoceros instead of tigers, and Lucilla not making it to the end of the movie, but being executed (as she was in reality) along with some Senators inside a Sicilian Bull. The rhinos became tigers because it was impossible to train real ones, and CGI replacements didn't look convincing.
