Written and directed by Terry Jones (The Meaning Of Life; Life Of Brian; Monty Python And The Holy Grail) and starring Tim Robbins, Mickey Rooney, Eartha Kitt, Terry Jones, Imogen Stubbs, John Cleese and Jim Broadbent, Erik The Viking comes to DVD as a special edition by Arrow Video on 10th October 2011 featuring two versions of the film, the Original UK Theatrical Cut plus The Director's Son's Cut, the latter an edit by Bill Jones supervised by his father.
In the age of Ragnorok, when all the earth has been laid waste by snow and ice, one Viking must take his men into battle against the very gods themselves in order to bring back the sun.
Meet Erik (Tim Robbins), the world's most sensitive Norse warrior, a man with little time for pillage and no taste for rape. Erik killed a girl once and he feels very badly about it. Erik isn't really like the other Vikings, but now he must take his warrior clan to the gates of Valhalla itself, braving harsh seas, terrifying creatures and horrifically atonal singing along the way.
