Title: Help! I'm new and looking for a bad movie!
Post by: coyoteknight on December 11, 2003, 05:40:51 AM
Hi guys, I'm obviously new to the board. I'm glad to see you guys are looking at most of the classics; "Manos Hands of Fate" and "Attack of the Bee Girls" are both masterpieces. I'm a little disapointed that there is no mention of the great *Roger Ebert's* tour de force "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls" With lines like, "There is no 'Z' Man, only Super Woman", it should be studied in detail by any true connesuer of filmed crap!

I have a bit of a problem. a friend of mine has been searching for a movie that seems like a doozie and I was hoping one of you guys might know. She doesn't know the title but it is a movie about Vikings staring Lee Majors and Wilt Chamberlain (just inspires you doesn't it?!).

I've looked everywhere, if any of you know the name of the bugger or know a way I might be able to find out, please respond to my post, it would be uch appreciated

Hmm... According to the IMDb, there IS no movie on which Majors and Chamberlain worked together, Viking-themed or otherwise.

Best guess is The Norseman (1978), which starred Majors, Cornel Wilde,  Mel Ferrar, and Jack Elam.

Might also be thinking of Conan the Destroyer the sequel to Conan the Barbarian.  A young Schwartzeneggar might be fairly mistaken for Lee Majors if enough time passed since viewing, and Wilt the Stilt is in that movie.  Not exactly vikings, but they are big strong guys with swords.

If you can't find the viking film  you're looking for I strongly suggest getting The Island at the Top of the World. Was made in '74 about a group of adventurers who take off in blimp to the north pole. Once up there they meet up with a long lost Viking civilization that's been living up there for centuries. A VERY weird film. Made by Disney.
