About as believable as Tony Curtis as a Greek slave in “Spartacus”. Still a fun film.
Curtis and Douglas are not brothers in the movie. Curtis is a slave. Douglas it the son of the local Norse lord.
Supposedly that line was from “The Black Shield Of Falworth.” But debunkers say Curtis never uttered those words. I saw the flick as a kid about sixty years ago, and I can’t remember anything except Curtis running and jumping around with a sword.
They’re half-brothers. Borgnine is their dad.
Ummm...they were half brothers actually.
One of my favorites also! Along with EL CID.
Thanks for the ping!
A Viking Kitteh cup!I want one!
Randomly found that image online... went back just now and found the image is part of a series of one of a kind works of pottery...
Cracks me up!
Erik: “And you, Sven, aren’t you afraid of crossing the Rainbow Bridge to Asgaard?”
Sven the Berserk: “I will join my grandfather there!”
Thorfinn Skullsplitter: “He’s not in Valhalla! He died of old age.”
I like my Viking movies with a bit more John Cleese than the others;
Erik The Viking

This was a bad afternoon for movies - “the Last Picture Show” from 2 to 5 on COZI and the best of the best “Casablanca” from 4 to 6 on TCM - and in the middle of it all the lovely Michael and Irene say goodbye scene from “The Perfect Storm” on the TVGuide channel - now when am I going to get my leaves raked???....
Last night, with over 200 channels on, and nothing to watch, i decided to pull out my DVD of ZULU. Saw ZULU DAWN last week.
It’s either feast or famine....
