Erik the Viking is a film written and directed by Monty Python alumnus Terry Jones. The movie follows the adventures of the eponymous Viking, Erik, who one day discovers that he no longer has a taste for the rape- and- pillage lifestyle of ordinary Viking life. Determined to change things, he recruits a band of his fellow Vikings to journey to Valhalla and petition Odin, King of the Gods, to put an end to the Age of Ragnarok. Hilarity Ensues. The movie stars Tim Robbins as Erik, and features cameos by Eartha Kitt, John Cleese, Mickey Rooney, and Terry Jones himself. Jones took inspiration for the film (but not the film's title) from his own children's book, The Saga of Erik the Viking. Jones was unhappy with the finished movie, and later supervised a shorter edit, carried out by his son. Alluring Anglerfish: The Dragon of the North Sea has a lure that resembles the sun. And You Thought It Was a Game: Erik borrows Princess Aud's Cloak of Invisibility and uses it to bravely attack Halfdan the Black's crew, not realizing that the cloak only works on Aud's father, King Arnulf .. She chews him out for it with a rather angry, . Sven's Dad has a funny moment in explaining the philosophy of the berserk (in a funny voice too). Black Vikings: Eartha Kitt as Freya the Norn. Her performance is so well done, though, that most people key to the fact that Eartha Kitt is a black woman playing a Norse soothsayer only after the movie is over. Born Lucky: Leif the Lucky subverts this by being one of the first crew members to die. He then double subverts it by being one of the lucky few to escape from Valhalla with the rest of the gang. Break the Badass: Thorfinn Skullsplitter is a skilled warrior and a killer of many men. He isn't afraid of anything. And when the film needs to convince the audience that Halfdan the Black's forces are feared by all Vikings, it is Thorfinn's reactions they concentrate on. Thorfinn Skullsplitter: I feel.. Like you suddenly have to go to the bathroom? Thorfinn Skullsplitter: Yeah. I've never felt like this before. Ivar the Boneless: (excitedly) That's fear! I feel that all the time! Brick Joke: At the beginning of the movie, Sven gets in a duel with another Viking for claiming that his grandfather died of old age, and thus is not in Valhalla. When that Viking dies later in the movie, Sven says that his grandfather will be waiting for him in Valhalla, and the other says that he won't, for he isn't there. When they make it to Valhalla, Sven's Dad recognizes his father among the fallen warriors, and the Viking who had been arguing with Sven throughout the movie admits that Sven was right. Clap Your Hands If You Believe: Applied selectively. When the Vikings arrive at Valhalla, they demand that Harald the Missionary, who accompanies the Vikings on their quest, admit that all that . However, because Harald does not believe in Valhalla, he does not see it, while the rest of the crew, who do believe do. This gives Harald the ability to leave Valhalla (As its walls are invisible and insubstantial to him), which enables him to save the rest of the Vikings. The Complainer Is Always Wrong: This is the reaction of King Arnulf when Erik tells him that Hy Brasil is sinking. King Arnulf: Let's stick to facts. There has never been a safer, more certain way of keeping the peace. So whatever's happening, you can rest assured, Hy Brasil is not sinking. Repeat, not sinking. Cruel and Unusual Death: Halfdan the Black sentences a man to be beheaded, and the man is dragged away screaming for mercy. Then, as he talks with Loki, he sentences a series of other men who had displeased him in some unspecified manner to be killed in a variety of increasingly gruesome ways. Then, towards the end, the last man is sentenced to have his hand cut off. That man thanks Halfdan for his mercy as he's dragged away, and offers you can cut them both off if you want. Dark Is Evil: Halfdan the Black isn't called that because he's dark- skinned, or wears dark- colored clothing. He's called that because he's evil! And how do we know he's evil? Because his name is Halfdan The Black. There is, of course, also the semi- historical King Halfdan the Black of early Norwegian history. Director's Cut: Only in this case, it's officially described as the Director's Son's Cut. Dirty Coward: Loki. Does Not Like Shoes: The inhabitants of Hy- Brasil. Princess Aud remains barefoot even after she joins the party and travels to snowy areas. Everyone Calls Him . Except by Sven the Berserk, of course, who just calls him . To take it even further, Sven's grandfather is listed in the credits as ! Of course, he cannot see it, or interact with it at all, because he doesn't believe in it. This causes a great deal of frustration for his crewmates, but does turn into an important plot point. Go Ye Heroes, Go and Die: Eric's departure speech about all the dangers his crew may face over the course of their heroic quest gets their families to start mourning their deaths before the ship even casts off. Gratuitous Japanese: The galley taskmaster. Horny Vikings: This film, being a satire of Viking adventure tales, mines this trope for all that it is worth. It also subverts this trope by strenuously avoiding some elements of it. For example, no one in the movie wears a horned helmet. Immortal Immaturity: The Norse gods are all played by children. Implausible Deniability: The people of Hy- Brasil insist their island isn't sinking, despite all evidence to the contrary. King Arnulf continues his denial even as the waters rise above his head. I Need No Ladders: The title character, needing to borrow his girlfriend's invisibility cloak, scales the wall to her quarters using a pair of knives. Her first question upon his entering is why he didn't just use the stairs that were right next to the wall he climbed. Invisibility Cloak: Princess Aud owns one, but it only works on her father, King Arnulf. And Harald the Missionary for some reason. King of All Cosmos: Not only are the Norse gods children in this film, they are selfish children who don't want to be bothered and claim to have no control over the mortal realm at all. Lawful Stupid: The mystical island of Hy Brasil is enchanted so that, if even a single drop of blood were to touch the ground, the entire island and everything on it would sink. As a result, everyone living there is completely nice and non- confrontational. And when blood is spilled and the island does start to sink, everyone actively refuses to believe it is happening. Magic Music: Blowing the Horn Resounding once takes you to Valhalla. Blowing it twice wakes the gods. Blowing it a third time returns you home. The Mole: Keitel Blacksmith and his apprentice Loki both fit this trope, though Keitel changes his mind halfway through. Named After Somebody Famous: The names of several notable people from Norse history are used for characters in the movie, including Halfdan the Black, Ivar the Boneless, Thorfinn Skullsplitter, Leif the Lucky, Mord Fiddle, and Olaf Tryggvason. Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: The woman Erik refused to rape? He ends up accidentally running her through with his sword. He earns a very cutting criticism from her before she dies. Although their bewilderment is helped by the fact that Erik, convinced he's wearing a cloth that makes him invisible (which only works on the father of the girl he's just slept with), is essentially prancing around in front of them wearing a towel on his head. A Real Man Is a Killer: This is the default attitude of all of the Vikings, even Erik. They are all shocked.. Roger Ebertdid not care for it: The movie looks obscenely expensive, but the money is spent on pointless scenes without purpose or payoff, as for example an interminable storm sequence in which the actors hold onto masts and say inane things to one another while water is splashed in their faces. Shown Their Work: Terry Jones — an academic on this stuff — plays with the Norse Mythology but sticks faithfully to a lot of tropes. Spiritual Successor: Despite its lack of most of the Monty Python cast (only Terry Jonesnote Jones also directs and John Cleese were in this movie) many people think this is a Monty Python film. It has to be said it would stand up well with Life of Brian and The Holy Grail, probably due to Jones's direction style. Stock Foreign Name: Erik (the Viking) and Leif (the Lucky). Averted with the inclusion of Ernest the Viking and Jennifer the Viking (though their names are only in the script and never spoken). Unstoppable Rage: Sven's Dad is constantly on his son's back about how the boy just cannot seem to get up a good head of berserk fury. But when Sven's best friend, Thorfinn Skullsplitter, is killed, Sven lets his fury go full bore. Actually Sven's Dad is constantly on his back because he can't STOP going berserk. Turns out Sven's Dad's Dad kept going on at him for the same thing. Visible To Believers: Harald Missionary, the only Christian in Erik's crew, cannot see the Dragon of the North Sea, the Edge of the World, and the fortress of Asgard, because he considers these things as superstitions. He is even able to walk right through the walls of Asgard, which are perfectly solid for his pagan companions. Vitriolic Best Buds: Sven the Berserker and Thorfinn Skull- splitter. May also count as Heterosexual Life- Partners, based on the pairings in the final scene. William Telling: At one point, the Vikings take turns hurling axes at a captured girl's head in an attempt to cut off her braids. You Can See Me?: After the battle with Halfdan's crew, Erik finds out that Aud's Cloak of Invisibility only works on King Arnulf (and Harald), and that he's been visible the entire time. Erik, der Wikinger (1. Princess Aud: Have you ever felt like this about anyone else? Erik: You mean got into bed with them? No, I mean felt like this about them? Erik: You mean you have got into bed with somebody else? Princess Aud: No, I mean have you ever felt that for the first time in your life you've met someone you really can believe in with your whole heart? Someone who's goals suddenly seem to be your goals. Those dreams become your dreams. Erik: Have you ever been to bed with anyone else?
