I just watched it tonight. You know, it's completely 100% historically accurate, and you can tell by all the horns on the Viking helmets. :)

Is this the 1997 one with Stephen Moyer as Valiant and Katherine Heigl as Ilene?  If so, I want to see that- didn't even know they made another one beyond the animated stuff...good lookin out fellas.

Actually, the one I was talking about was the 1954 version, with James Mason, Janet Leigh, and Robert Wagner.

I'd like to see the '97 version, but Netflix doesn't seem to have it.

Good lookin out, Sir Wolf!  I'll just watch this to see if I'd be interested.  By the by, Centurion was AWESOME if you have not yet seen it; 2 of the main characters were in 300 as well, if such things matter to you.
