A forest of fun in the right frame of mind
28 February 2009
Warning: Spoilers
One of the Viking/peplum sub-genre which works well as a riotous comedy if you're in the right frame of mind due to the atrocious English dubbing, daft script and campy performances, though it's hard to imagine that it could have been any better in any other language.

The plot line revolves around the possession of "the mighty sword of Valhalla" which gives the possessor power over all the northern countries, and which is guarded by young Sigmund (Pajer – a Giuliano Gemma type noted for playing David in 'David And Goliath') and Sieglinde (perennial bland blonde Bianchi). Hunding (Mitchell, in one of his most over-the-top villainous performances) is after the sword and the power.

Into this mix are thrown an eye-rolling soothsayer, your standard annoying dwarf and bad wigs galore.
