Erik the Viking (Tim Robbins) has been looting and pillaging. He's not so sure about the raping and that leaves him questioning his way of life. Freya sets him to search for the Horn Resounding. He recruits his restless warriors on a quest for the Rainbow Bridge to Valhalla. They battle a sea monster and the pursuing Halfdan the Black (John Cleese) to find the magical island of Hy-Brasil. There is Princess Aud (Imogen Stubbs) with her father King Arnulf (Terry Jones).
Terry Jones has injected plenty of Monty Python but the gang is not all there. It makes one pining for the gang to reunite. Robbins is fine but one keeps imagining others in the role. The opening rapey scene is a good introduction. There are some fun moments. All of them have echoes of previous works and it can never exceed them.
