Tarkan Versus the Vikings, Turkeyâs answer to the Italian sword and sandal films, is more fun than the proverbial barrel of monkeys and just as crazed. Everything in this movie is energetic, outsized, colorful and wacky, from Tarkanâs mighty moustache to the Vikingsâ red and blue fuzzy underoos. Tarkan doesnât just walk around, like Hercules - he runs, he leaps, he literally bounces from place to place. The gigantic melees capture the frenetic flavor of old Errol Flynn movies, but up the ante of sex and violence to please â70s moviegoers. Itâs like Conan the Barbarian done on $10,000 and amphetamines. - CSB
