This is the best Roger Corman movie I have seen so far but that doesn't mean it's a good movie. I don't know much about vikings but I'm pretty sure they weren't masters of using spears.Even if they did use spears,why would they throw them at trees to vote?They could figure out the concept of voting but holding your hand up was too much for them to grasp?? Also,they were all blonde except the woman who was in charge,like they went out of their way to not be historically accurate. So anyway,the viking men have been missing and the women are going to look for them in a row boat. They row for a minute,their boat capsizes and they all wash up on the shore,lying parallel to each other. This "far away,mysterious place" looks a lot like the American southwest and of course,the men are being held captive there. The Sea Serpent has almost nothing to do with the story. This is for hardcore b-movie fans only.

***SPOILERS*** Worth watching just for the sexy Nordic looking viking women in it who after three years without the companionship of their menfolk, who were lost as sea, decide to track them down and get back to the business of making love and having babies as men and women, or male & females, were created for and meant to do. Lead by the stately as well as take charge looking Desir, Abby Dalton, the girls go north, in a a viking long ship, towards what is now called Greenland where their men were last spotted. It's later that the women find hidden on the boat a man Ottar, Jonathan Haze. This very lucky guy was somehow left behind by the rest of the man vikings and, in three long years, for some strange reason kept himself scarce and never had any contact either social or sexual with the man hungry viking women!Things get a little hairy as the women and one man reach shore when their attacked by the Monster of the Vortex who forces them to beach their boat and end up stranded on the beach without food and water. But lucky or unlucky for them their discovered by the brutish and Mongolian looking Grimolts who live on the island and are taken captive by them to, with the exception of Ottar, become their future sex slaves! That's the bad news but the good news is that their menfolks just happen to be on the island as well including Desir's true and one and only love Vedric, Bradford Jackson, who are forced to work, until they drop, in the island's slat mines. The beautiful as well as being able to take care of herself Desir saves the Grimolts' King Stark, Richard Devon, wimpy son Serya's, Jay Sayer, life from a wild boar attack that instead of being grateful to her he develops a deep seated hatred for Desir. Even though she gave Serya all the credit for killing the wild boar he known that as a man an hair to the throne of the Grimolts warrior clan he needed a women,Desir,to save his candy a** behind. This lead to a love hate obsession with Desir to the point of trying to have her and her lover Vedric burned alive that in the end turns out to be fatal for Serya. There's also the very sexy Enger,Susan Cabot, who's really hot for Vedric who after he rejects her advances turn on him and her fellow vikings. That by joining the Grimolts just to get even with both the two star struck lovers, Desir & Vedric, by having them sacrificed by fire to the Grimolt's Sky God.***SPOILERS*** It's later that Enger sees what a mistake she made and gives up her life in saving her fellow vikings, both men & women,who were at he time fleeing from their Grimolts captors. Still the vikings had to confront the Monster of the Vortex to make their escape plans successful which the brave and gallant Vedric easily solved. That by him turning the monster, with a viking sword stuck in its nose, against the perusing Grimolts and deep sixing them together with itself! Typical Roger Corman movie with bottom of the barrel special effects and an uneven script, the film at one point seems to have forgotten it plot and started a new one, but the super sexy viking women in it more then made up for all that!

A group of luscious and scantily clad '50s Viking babes decide to board a boat to search for their missing men who have disappeared some time ago. They wind up terrorized and shipwrecked by the giant creature of the title and the find themselves prisoners of a tribe of men who want to use them as their slaves.Thanks to director Roger Corman, this cheesy flick is made into something at least watchable. And for me, any chance to see blonde Sally Todd (FRANKENSTEIN'S DAUGHTER) and raven-haired Susan Cabot (THE WASP WOMAN) strutting their stuff is a plus.** out of ****

All of the men of a Viking tribe have disappeared across the great waters, so their lovesick ladies decide to build a boat and go find 'em. They run into a whirlpool and a giant sea monster before sailing their ship to Bronson Canyon, where they find a tribe of mean and cruel barbarians who are keeping the Viking men chained up in a cave. Believe me, folks, I really would've liked to spend a little more time on the plot, but sadly, that's all we've got to work with here.The Viking women are all gorgeous 1950s starlets, including such favorites as Abby Dalton (ROCK ALL NIGHT), Susan Cabot (THE WASP WOMAN), June Kenney (TEENAGE DOLL) and Sally Todd (THE UNEARTHLY). Jonathan Haze of LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS fame is along for the ride, too, as a hot-headed young Viking anxious to prove his manhood, which you'd think wouldn't be too difficult considering that it's him and three dozen horny and nubile young women living alone in the village, but what do you expect from Seymour Krelboing, anyway? Brad Jackson plays the leader of the Viking men, and you're surprised that (a) they elected him leader, or (b) that the women went to find him in the first place. He's dull and not very good in a fight. On the other hand, what lonely Norse lady wouldn't want to snuggle up to hunky Gary Conway, sans his TEENAGE FRANKENSTEIN makeup, all rippling muscles in his li'l Viking pelts? Richard Devon, who played Satan in Corman's THE UNDEAD, is Stark, King of the Barbarians (Ooh! Good name!) and has a son who's a sissy, which matters not in this report but looms large in the film itself.The picture is stolen by Miss Cabot, the only dark-haired Viking woman, who first schemes with King Stark to rub out her rival for the dull guy's attentions, then calls down the wrath of Thor when her plans go awry. She's by turns funny, mean, sexy, and pouty, and she blows the higher-billed Abby Dalton out of the water. VIKING WOMEN AND THE SEA SERPENT is a goofily enjoyable movie despite its many shortcomings (as Corman put it, 'When working on a low budget, you are better off with material that does not depend primarily on spectacular special effects'). The film was originally released as a double-feature with THE ASTOUNDING SHE-MONSTER, so go 'head and treat yourself to a full double helping of freaky '50s female fun.
