Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe Friesian king Redbad/Radboud portrayed in this film is not to be confused with the catholic Saint Radbod/Radboud, bishop of Utrecht as well as namesake of many catholic institutions (such as the hospital and university of the Dutch city of Nijmegen). Saint Radbod was probably named after his ancestor, king Redbad, but he was born more than a hundred years later.
- GoofsDorestad is in the center of the Netherlands, but the movie makes it looks like it is near the sea. The battle for Dorestad is won by diverting the Frankisch cavalry to the sea and having them drown in the upcoming tide. This would have been a two day journey. One historian however has controversially placed Dorestad at the current location of Audruicq, near the French coast.
- Alternate versionsIn January 2019 the movie aired on TV in the Netherlands as a four part mini-series, with about 40 minutes of extra footage, the mini-series version having a total running time of 3 hours 18 minutes compared to 2 hours 38 minutes for the theatrical version.

Featured review
I actually really enjoyed this film. I expected much less than what they delivered. The set designs were amazing and for the most part the acting was above par. I particularly liked the cinematography, the shots were spectacular and really sucked me in, it alone is well worth a watch. Obviously the history was a bit jumbled, but much less than most Hollywood pics. I actually loved the use of Dutch in the film and feel that it lent a lot to my over all submersion into the world. My guess would be that most Americans will hate this movie because of the subtitles alone; they are very slow readers. I didn't mind at all. I'm going to watch it again this weekend!! Marvelous job!! Look what $8,000,000 can get you when you get creative instead of Hollywood.
