This movie has one third of the Monty Python troupe and about only a micron of the laughs.
Eric the Viking after killing a woman in a raid, decides he's going to go to Valhala and awaken the gods to end the age of Ragnorak. Accompanying him is a group of misfits including a wanna-be berserker, a Christian Missionary who is incapable of converting anyone and a blacksmith who wants to keep Ragnorak going because it's good for the blacksmith trade.
John Cleese plays a bad guy who is pretty much just playing JOhn Cleese.
The thing is, unlike Monty Python, these guys just can't make it funny.
The movie had okay special effects for a 1980's film, but special effects and comedy really don't mix.
