Erik the Viking [DVD]

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-stellar crew at his side. The supporting players include Mickey Rooney (The Black Stallion, It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World), Eartha Kitt (Boomerang, The Emperor's New Groove), John Cleese (A Fish Called Wanda, Yellowbeard), Terry Jones (Jabberwocky, Monty Python and The Holy Grail) and Charles McKeown (Brazil, Monty Python's The Life of Brian).
