Directed by: Richard Fleischer
Starring: Kirk Douglas, Ernest Borgnine, Tony Curtis, Janet Leigh
Visible crew/equipment: When Kirk Douglas returns in the viking ship to his home fjord, many vehicles can be seen on the road through the trees on the other side of the water. Vauxhall Vikings perhaps?
Visible crew/equipment: While Raynar and Einar are arguing about the wench, a crewman surreptitiously sneaks in a mic at the bottom left of the screen. (00:47:54)
Factual error: The Vikings raided England in the 9th and 10th centuries. The first castles were not built until post 1066. The castle in the film has rounded towers, crenellations and machicolations, which would date it at approximately 1300. That would tend to suggest that these Vikings were 400 or 500 years old, or that they had access to a time machine.
Trivia: Ernest Borgnine plays Ragnar, the father of Einar (Kirk Douglas). In real life Borgnine is only one and a half months younger than Douglas.
