Trivia:
A short scene of Grendel having sexual contact with Rhona Mitra's character in her room was shot but left out because it didn't really work and the director later felt that it also wouldn't match with the story.

If You liked "Army of Darkness" ("Evil Dead 3") for sure You will love "Beowulf". It's a great movie and the idea of making collage of neo-Middle Age and techno music is just great. The story is interesting and original. I was afraid that this would be another copycat of "Alien" (or Monster movie"), but it isn't. It's the best Lambert's movie since "Highlander". So don't faith in other so often well paid opinion. Try it Yourself. It's a bloody, good movie !
