LastingAware The greatest movie ever!

ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre

Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

hackraytex I give this a 7 because I like Viking movies and had not gotten to see this when it came out. Once should not be too hard on Lee Majors as he had his money tied up in this and also unfortunately I understand it did not do well at the box office. I am sure he was able to get a tax write off. Given that he had gotten to the top at this time, it is also clear that this was a personal project for him as successful actors often try to do.All of the actors did as well as they could with the material they had to work with. I think this was too big a project for Charles B. Pierce, rest in peace, and it showed in the writing and directing. A different director may have made it better. It is also fun to watch Jack Elam, Denny Miller, and Christopher Connelly who had probably never done a Norse movie before get to stretch their acting muscles and do something different. May they all rest in peace.Lee Majors had done well in his career and is still in the business 39 years after this so he must be doing something right. He is also doing Christian movies in addition to other projects so he is still stretching his acting muscles. A good movie to watch if you are looking for something to stay up late with.

Matthew_Capitano It stinks.Lee 'The Six Million Dollar Man' Majors. If he isn't one of the Top Ten WORST excuses for an actor in cinematic history, then somebody needs to be taken off that list so we can put Majors on it.The bionic dud shows up with a crooked mustache and a late 1970's hairstyle. He utters lines of 'period' dialogue with all the urgency of a constipated snail. Helping him stink is Cornel Wilde(!) -- what the freak is he doing in this creaky tripe? Majors employed a small band of his buddies including Denny Miller (the guy who played 'Tongo' the ape man on Gilligan's Island about a thousand years ago). The only real question here is: How did Majors arrive at the conclusion that doing this film would be a 'good idea'? Everything in this movie stinks, especially Majors, whom no doubt forgot to drink a cup of coffee each morning before filming so we could tell he was awake.

dbairdsc This flick goes under the Classic B Movie definition. I count a solid seven classic 1960s and 70s B-Movie actors, and outside of the apparently proper Viking ship, it stacks up well to other B Movies: culturally stereotypical protagonists, perfect hair (always clean and well-groomed), poor wigs and bad costume beards (looking scruffy but clean and poorly groomed), crappy costumes (how do you swim with armor on?), poorly scouted locations (who knew eastern Canada had palmettos, Spanish moss and short-leaf pines?), poor cinematography and camera angles, unimaginative or over-the-top dialogue, historical inaccuracies, poorly executed and tactically inept battle scenes, the one native, sexy-hot maiden (and her provocative costume) with a heart-of-gold and her evil, warrior, chieftan brother - this movie has it all!

EDDIE I'm sure that these points were made in the other member post, but I didn't read it because the guy was so long winded. Lee Majors is The Norseman, who pronounces it as Noors-man, there is a black viking who wears the tongue of an enemy around his neck, a wizard who's face has never been seen, yet we see it throughout the film, and vikings being killed by getting an arrow to the ass. This movie is GREAT, if you are the type of person who feels that watching "bad" movies makes you stronger. I watched it with two friends and my younger brother, my two friends "hated" it, yet they were the ones showing it to me and this was not their first time watching it (on Video-Disc, no less!!). My brother and I loved it, it was a good time and made for a great double feature with Kurthisss The Drug Free Snake. (I also bought a copy of the original theatrical poster).
