Idem in me!
"Come and take me, mongrels - if you dare. While I have fingers to grasp a sword, and eyes to see your cowardly faces, your treacherous heads will not be safe on your shoulders... So fill your hand, you sonuvabitch!"
I have to say I have a soft spot for 'The Vikings' with Kirk Douglas and Tony Curtis despite the medieval castle and the leather trousers.
Speaking of which, 'Prince of Thieves' was a laugh-a-minute: from Dover to Nottingham "by nightfall", the juxtaposition of northern and west country accents with Costner's drawl, the woady celts, stealth catapults: it's a riot :lol:
What annoyed me so much about the recent "King Arthur" was the pairing of such similarly headbanging anachronisms with the tag about being the 'true story'. I actually shouted.
In the cinema.
