Just 10 years ago they started shooting this movie in Canada about a bunch of so-called Northmen being called back to help safe their homeland of a great evil... the only way they can succeed is when there are 13 warriors... and the 13th is an Arabian Ibn who has no choice to join as the 13th warrior may not be a NOrthman!

It was an adaptation of the book Eaters of the Death - and I guess they picked the wrong title as 13 didn't bring much luck to the movie.... they decided to shoot it in Canada as they felt Norway wasn't anymore  what it had been... than the cost went sky high... and trouble broke out between the author and directors who had different point of views on how the story should be told. The scene builder left for a while because he was so angered and unhappy about all things going on... than they started to re-shoot scenes... and latter it took them 2 years to get the final cut... so the movie was released in 1999!!!

And than the test public that was asked to watch it was not happy so they did also some more cuts - re-shoots.... and after that it got a bad reception from the press...

Still it managed to attrack a fair deal of viewers and in some countries it is regarded as a sort of cult movie about Vikings...

Because of the many cuts the movie has its weak points but generally I think it does hold up. It is fun to watch alto historially it may not be correct at all... still some movie should just been seen what they are entertainment and nothing more and that is what the 13th warrior do...

I remember the movie. The 13th Warrior is a 1999 action film based on Michael Crichton's novel Eaters of the Dead and it stars Antonio Banderas.

Yes - that is the one!
I love Antonio in this movie alto he isn't my favourite actor.

The character I love the most in this movie is
Herger - played by the Norwagian actor Dennis
Storhoi. For me he makes this movie interesting.
as most other characters are a bit bland...

Antonio Banderas is so gorgeous in this movie... He looks great in a warrior suit...
