3.0 out of 5 starsErik the Conqueror
By A. J. Harrison on 21 Mar. 2012
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Viking King Harald is living peacefully in England but he his village is ambushed by Duke Rutford and vertually everyone is killed but his two young sons, Erin and Erik survive. Erin is saved by a Viking soldier and taken back to his homeland but Erik is lost during the battle but is found by the English Queen Alice and raised as her son. 20 years later, Erin is leading the Viking Invasion of Britain and Erik has become Britain's Naval commander and fate will bring them together.

This was the second of Cameron Mitchell's Viking trilogy, however this was one was written and directed by cult horror maestro Mario Bava and it is a loose remake of the 1958 film 'The Vikings' starring Kirk Douglas.

It may not be as good as the Vikings but that doesn't make this a bad movie, as it is in fact a well made, fast paced and hugely enjoyable film that any Cult Italian and Sword and Sandal fan will love.

A Blond haired Cameron Mitchell stars as Eron, a honourable revenge seeking Viking who has fallen in love with Rama (played by the beautiful Alice Kessler) a celestial Virgin who has been promised to the Gods. George Ardisson is also on form as Eron's brother Erik who also falls in love, this time with Rama's twin sister Daya (Ellen Kessler).

Action wise we have a brilliant opening battle sequence on the beach (which is also very violent, a woman carrying a baby has a spear thrown threw the both of them), but the end siege and naval battle are nothing to get to excited about due to, to much footage been unnecessarily sped up.

Overall a great film with minor flaws.

DVD Quality- GREAT, English or Italian audio avaliable

3.0 out of 5 stars"In death, I have but one companion: my sword."
By Trevor Willsmer HALL OF FAMETOP 50 REVIEWER on 18 Jun. 2009
Format: DVD
Mario Bava's Erik the Conqueror (aka Fury of The Vikings aka The Invaders) uses the old Corsican Twins plot, with two separated brothers - one growing up as British royalty, the other a Viking king (Cameron Mitchell, dubbed in both the Italian and English language versions included here) - falling for twins and set against each other by a scheming English noble who wants to use them to gain the throne. Despite a mother and child being speared in the opening sequence, it's not especially violent hokum: not quite kid's stuff, but no thinking man's epic by any means. Realism isn't on the menus either (the sacrificial sword dance in a cave at the root of a giant tree look more like a floorshow in a Viking-themed nightclub), but with it's vivid use of color and striking composition if you're in an undemanding mood it's not a bad way to spend an hour-and-a-half even if there's no shortage of better ones.

The subtitles on Anchor Bay's Region 1 NTSC DVD have obviously been written by an Italian with a limited English vocabulary and who is particularly awkward at constructing an intelligible sentence, but since the script is nothing to write home about to begin with it's not that big a problem. Extras are an audio commentary by Tim Lucas, a bizarrely candid audio interview with Cameron Mitchell, stills and poster gallery, US and German trailers and a trailer for Bava's Black Sunday.

HASH(0x8e404618) out of 5 stars Erik The Great! 25 Oct. 2007
By Tim Lasiuta - Published on Amazon.com
Format: DVD
Erik the Conqueror is a great film in TWO languages.

`Erik the Conqueror', directed by Mario Brava, explores the destinies of two young Viking sons, Erik and Eron. Separated as young men during a British raid by the forces of Queen Anne, the brothers live in two different worlds. Queen Anne raises Erik as her own son, while Eron lives a bitter life. Growing to adulthood, the two men become enemies when Eron leads a Viking horde against the British commanded by Erik. Behind the scenes, a malevolent Sir Rutford, plots to take the throne via marriage, or villainy.

A great battle ensues as the Norsemen attack England, and one death strike short of victory, the two brothers discover each other and declare peace as Rutford plays his card. `Erik the Conqueror' is a stirring action film, filmed on rugged coasts, and executed splendidly in Italian and English!

Cameron Mitchell stars as Eron, while Alice and Ellen Kessler star as Daya and Rama, love interests for the two brothers. George Ardisson, Andrea Checchi and Francoise Christophe round out the well cast film adding realism and romance to this 1961 cult film.

The return of `Erik' to american audiences includes an audio interview with Cameron Mitchell, film trailers, and the option to watch the film in Italian or English. Try the Italian, and read the titles, you'll find the story tells itself.

HASH(0x8e40466c) out of 5 stars Excellent transfer 30 Jun. 2008
By Grady Rainbow - Published on Amazon.com
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
The transfer from the original Italian master is great, the color and image is sharp and very clear. Be careful to set the language to English or you get the original Italian with sub titles. Is it a masterpiece, no, but it is a fine specimen of the early 1960's sword and sexy women epics.

HASH(0x8e40472c) out of 5 stars a work of art! 31 Aug. 2008
By Christian Karlsson - Published on Amazon.com
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
This is a beutifully made epic,directed (and photographed) by italian
movie genius Mario Bava.It stars the magnificent Cameron Mitchell,the
beutiful Kessler sisters,Alice and Ellen,and a great italian actor,George
(Giorgio) Ardison.
Mitchell and Ardison, had allready starred in another viking epic "The
last of the vikings" Fairly good,but not as near as good as this one.
The dvd features a superbly restored ,uncut version of the film.Get it!

HASH(0x8e404840) out of 5 stars Best of the Cameron Mitchell Viking trilogy! 9 July 2013
By Leo Hott - Published on Amazon.com
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
I was introduced to these old films through Net-Flix, seeing "Knives of the Avenger" I then looked them up on Amazon being a sword & sorcery nut or nuts for any movie set in the era of the use of swords. After looking them up I discovered they are considered a sort of trilogy. They are all independent films with no relationship to each other, other than that fact that they are all starring Cameron Mitchell & are all three Viking movies. I don't know in what chronological order they were made, but in my opinion "Erik the Conqueror" is the best closely followed by "Knives of the Avenger" & then " The Last of the Vikings". None of these movies were ever made to win a Oscar, but they are all three great fun. I'm still waiting on "Knives of the Avenger." but so far "Erik the Conqueror" has received the best treatment as far as to the quality of digital restoration aspect ratio & general overall quality of the D.V.D. If your expecting to see a 50's, 60's type epic all star cast Technicolor extravaganza like "The Vikings" starring Kirk Douglas & Tony Curtis, you will be disappointed. However if your a fan of this genre & are looking to bulk up your collection all three of these movies are great escapist action period pieces. I give them five stars for what they are, fun fantasy adventure filmed on a low budget but with obvious love for the genre. The acting is adequate, the costumes & set's are like wise. The cinematography is exceptional and the story lines are believable and well paced. Being older film's although violent they are not overly graphic & could be enjoyed by the whole family on a rainy afternoon or cold winters night. If you are a critic with your blade at the ready to slice & dice don't bother, If your open to a little fun then snatch them up while they last at a affordable price! My "Knives of the Avengers" came today allowing me to discover their chronological order. 1st "Erik the Conqueror" also known as "Fury of the Vikings" & "the Invaders", 2cnd "Last of the Vikings"& last but not least "Knives of the Avenger" also known as "Viking Massacre".
