    Storyline

    • Trivia
      A Soviet-Norweigan co-production, most of the film was actually shot in Norwegians. The Danish characters speaks in their native tongue which is understandable to most Scandinavians. For the Soviet release, the Norwegian and Danish was dubbed over in Russian and lost some of the nuances of Old Norse culture. The Norwegian release, called "Dragens Fange" (Prisoner of the Dragon) simply subtitled the Russian.
    • Quotes

      Torir: Don't stand up against the gods, Sigurd! Odin has sent us the boy alive. The lord of the undead himself did not want him to drown. Nor your sword or the sea mouth could bite him. He will bring us luck. See! For 8 days we have had to row, but now Odin has sent us a wind! Is that not enough of a sign?

    A great disappointment
    I didn't like the film at all. As far as I know, Scandinavian people were always racists, so I couldn't imagine that they have ever taken a stranger and treated him like a friend. Besides, this boring love story... I can't believe that Nordic girl could fall in love with a stranger. The acting is without a spark; as for the main character he is extremely inexpressive, lacks of charisma. Signu... yeah, she is beautiful & SO stupid!!!!!!!! I think Nordic girls are more severe, not so tender as she was. But nature, rocks, rushing sea, trees, the grey sky, animals, some funny fighting scenes - they deserve 10. But I can give only 5 because of the plot.
