    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The historic Ahmed Ibn Fadlan traveled as an emissary to the land of the Volga Bulgars to convert them to Islam. On his way he encountered Turks in Central Asia and Russian and Varangians (Volga Vikings). He returned in 923, and no record after this date refers to him.
    • Goofs
      Before the last fight, Ahmed Ibn Fahdlan invokes God by calling Him 'Father'. Muslims don't address God like this.

      Ahmed also doesn't speak English. All English heard in the movie is the loose translation of what was said.
    • Quotes

      Buliwyf: Lo, there do I see my father. 'Lo, there do I see...

      Herger the Joyous: My mother, and my sisters, and my brothers.

      Buliwyf: Lo, there do I see...

      Herger the Joyous: The line of my people...

      Edgtho the Silent: Back to the beginning.

      Weath the Musician: Lo, they do call to me.

      Ahmed Ibn Fahdlan: They bid me take my place among them.

      Buliwyf: In the halls of Valhalla...

      Ahmed Ibn Fahdlan: Where the brave...

      Herger the Joyous: May live...

      Ahmed Ibn Fahdlan: ...Forever.

    • Alternate versions
      The original version, known as Eaters of the Dead and Directed by John McTiernan was originally 127 minutes and slated to be released in May of 1998. But when the film failed test screenings Michael Crichton took over the project and reshot and added new material to the film. He was also involved with the reediting of the film as well and rejected composer Graeme Revell's hour long score. This version of the film has not been seen publicly.

    an excellent movie
    The 13th Warrior is an excellent movie. The scenery is beautiful, and so was the cinematography. The music was great. The acting and directing was excellent. I have no clue why the critics gave this movie such bad reviews. I enjoyed this movie a lot. I recommend this movie to anyone who likes a good action movie w/ lots of gore.
