Norse mythology meets Monty Python-esque humor in the Terry Jones written & directed comedy, Erik The Viking. Erik (Tim Robbins, The Player, The Shawshank Redemption), the Viking of the title, in an effort to petition the gods to save the planet for the impending Ragnarok - "the end of the world" - must travel to Asgard with a less-than-steIlar crew at his side. The supporting pIayers include Mickey Rooney (The Black StaIlion, It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad WorId), Eartha Kitt (Boomerang, The Emperor's New Groove), John Cleese (A Fish CaIled Wanda, YelIowbeard), Terry Jones (Jabberwocky, Monty Python and The HoIy GraiI) and Charles McKeown (Brazil, Monty Python's The Life of Brian). |
