Missing an iconic event because you couldn't be bothered or just didn't know how important it would be. after the scene in the film where Charlton Heston meets people going to the sermon on the mount but doesn't go with them.

Ben-Hur (1959) follows prince of Judea Ben-Hur (Charlton Heston) through his quest to avenge his family after his childhood friend Messala(Stephen Boyd), a Roman Tribune, enslaves him and imprisons his family. The film is nationally renowned not because of its impressive acting, casting, or story line, but because of the phrase "Ramming Speed" spoken a total of 2 times in the film. "Ramming Speed" was used both times when Juda Ben-Hur was enslaved on a Roman naval ship and forced to row. Ramming speed indicates the speed at which the naval ship should achieve and the pace at which Ben-Hur should row.
