Plot: An unusually principled young Viking becomes increasing uncomfortable with all the killing and plundering that goes with the job, and sets out on a magical journey in order to bring about world peace. Former Monty Python member Terry Jones attempts to have his story of Erik's seemingly hopeless quest operate as both witty, lunatic satire and sincere children's fantasy. However, despite a good cast and some interesting design elements, the film fails to completely succeed at either of its goals. ~ Judd Blaise, All Movie Guide

Erik the Viking in VHS
Added 10/29/2009

Looking @ my VHS copy (the back of the box) states the running time is 104 minutes. I've had this VHS copy for about 10 years. I mention the running time since I don't know where the reviewer (of the product) states the original length was 100 minutes. ***** for story and oh how great this film is for laughs.
Too bad about the crappy DVD version, thanks for the tip

Not the Erik the Viking I know

The uncut version of this film is one of my favorite movies, so I bought this DVD to replace my old VHS copy. Cutting 25 minutes from the original 104 minutes turned this movie into a cartoon. The flavor that made it magic is gone.

Still Waiting
Added 9/18/2009

I am very sad. I've been waiting years to get Erik the Viking on DVD. But now I learn that this version has cut 25% of the original movie. So I'll continue waiting, perhaps forever. Maybe in valhalla I'll be able to watch the original, wonderful movie.

What the hell was the director's son thinking. So far as I have been watching it I noticed he edited out the funniest part of the movie. There is NO need for a directors cut unless you want to add footage not subtract it! We should all wrtie a letter and request the original version released.

Absolutely Horrendous Version
Added 7/15/2009

I agree 100% with another reviewer's comments...If you love this film, do not buy this DVD. This version is terrible. I watched it one time and wanted to take the disc outside, lay it on my driveway, and run over it with my car - repeatedly. Go back to editing school, Bill Jones. Truly insulting to anyone who is a fan of this movie. I'd give it negative stars if I could.
