    • Trivia
      In spite of the title, Salina (Carita) is a Celtic queen and the film does not feature any Norse Viking characters.
    • Goofs
      Druids did not worship Zeus.
    • Quotes

      Narrator: This was a land where Druid priests held sway over peoples minds and prophesied that one day a woman would wear armour and wield a sword against the Romans. A woman who would be called: The Viking Queen.

    • Alternate versions
      The original UK cinema version was cut by the BBFC to heavily edit shots of Salina being stripped and flogged, and scenes of caged prisoners being lowered into a fiery pit. The 2006 Optimum DVD is uncut.

    "There's a time to be a queen and a time to be a woman."
    Boring costumer about the love affair of a Celtic queen and a Roman general while the Celts and Romans battle it out in ancient Britain. Despite the title, it doesn't have a damn thing to do with Vikings. The misleading title is the sort of thing I'd expect from Roger Corman, not Hammer. It's all very dull. Even the action is unexciting. The only times it got a reaction out of me were the times I laughed at the silly dialogue, particularly from Donald Houston's eccentric Druid priest. A fine cast of mostly British actors playing dress up. Finnish actress Carita plays the lead in her only starring role. She does a decent job. Of note, perhaps, to Doctor Who fans because this was the movie Patrick Troughton was filming when he got the offer to be the Doctor.
