The Vikings

[Forward Observer]

I just saw that my local Best Buy store had the old Kirk Douglas/Tony Curtiss epic viking movie out on DVD.

Might just be the thing to get in the mood for the Vikings expansion to MTW

I saw it as a kid when it came out, and I seem to remember that it was pretty entertaining.

Here is a rundown of the plot:

If its going to be a viking movie, it should be directed by Hrafn Gunnlaugsson..

The blonde guy gets thrown in a pit and his hand gets bitten off - that is what I remember.

Is this the one of the adventures of Eric the Red in New Foundland? The only part I can remember is the battle scene at the end with the Indian tribe. The Vikings are fighting their way back to the longboat and didn't appear to have a chance till one of them, a huge guy with an axe, stands his ground on the beach, sacrificing himself, and holds off the natives while the others scramble to safety. It was a black and white movie, but I don't recall any of the actors.

Bah, don't bother with that. Just stick with 13th Warrior.
