13th Warrior p10

[NightrisRyder]

deception..cant live with it...n cant live without it..

[Jokkelajnen]

Damn! The redhead is swinging that sword like a motherfucker!

[cellofingers]

Your'e right he is a kind of Jack Sparrow. I think that actor played general Picket in the movie Gettysburgh.

[namdrut]

wait a minute, was teh redhead guy that he fought one of the original 13 warriors?

[zz13x]

@namdrut No, there was a redhead with them, but that wasn't him.

[DarthZane89]

@zz13x I dunno if they were good shields, the first one broke in two blows

[zz13x]

Three good shields wasted over a pointless argument.

[MRHappyHappyjoyjoy90]

oft...that red headed giant just got hustled hard

[DonkeySlapper84]

@aey20 Why are you posting such narrowminded comments? Arabs do have a rich and interesting history but so do many other cultures, none of which are "better" than any other. You are no better than anyone else.

[PKtheFirst]

@DonkeySlapper84 Culture relativism? Thanks, but no thanks.

[aey20]

This is a good lesson for all the whites who love the viking strength.

Arabs have skill which is why we had an empire that spanned from persia to spain. Vikings had no such empire. Infact there are still Arab kings in the Middle east. How many Viikings do you know?

[Shad0wack]

@aey20

Im a viking and your mom smells like old garlic and sweaty balls.

[inzar87]

@Shad0wack And I am an Arab and I am telling you to keep your mouth shut...

[ofwotansblood]

@aey20 obviously you know nothing of the vikings, they travled into the heart of eurasia on trade expiditions and discovered north america before columbus. they built the greatest ships of their time and that arab skill your so fond of was nothing compared to the courage and cold caculation of the viking warriors. just look up varangian assault on byzatine.

[ControltheDistance]

@aey20 Vikings traded, conquered, and settled across eurasia. The country of Russia is named after a group of vikings. Vikings even made it to the new world. Do you know how many persian coins they've found in the US? Or how many persian villages they've found in canada? Not a lot.

Not that vikings were better than arabs. They just weren't inferior. Nobody is inherently inferior to anybody else. Basically, you've just accused all white people of being racist and unskilled. You're the racist.

[ExtremeDeathman]

@aey20 Just to inform you. Th Arab empire you refer to never existed instead, you are combining the mauretanic empire, which were not only part arabic, as well as the osman and seldjuk empires which were not arabic at all. And the persian empire isn't arabic as well.

[steelshoes2004]

The sound quality and graphics...wow

[friedrichsalzmann]

Best scene in the film!

[Kotori32]

The vikings must have been quite sophisticated; they were using the duh-facepalm more than 1000 years ago (3:37)!

[PaladinHero]

The part where Ibn says "You CAN'T" and Buliwyf just stares him down is perfect. The look conveys a stoic resolve mixed with a little "How dare you tell me--a king and commander of this mission--what I can and can't do."

Later, when he admits that it is foolish and expensive, he exhibits one of the traits of a leader: recognition of the need for sacrifice. Killing Angus, while lamentable, was necessary to keep the Prince off their backs so they could stay on mission.

[killzone474]

what a waste of a soilder, that they could have used

[simion11]

"an engineering dispute"

[TheGreaterGood80]

Great scene, but a waste of a valued fighter against the Wendol

[Vattens]

@Cliner98 Oh, you couldn't be any more accurate about that! LOL Many of these young lads are often loud mouth, obnoxious, arrogant little fucks who believe everything they see on TV, in the movies, and yes, even in their beloved video games...and then they think it will apply to real life. I do speak from experience. The last young kid to pull some shit with me, I actually put him over my lap, pulled down his pants to his bare ass, and beat him right in front of his friends in a parking lot! LOL

[candlecane]

this has got to be my favorite scene!!!

[EddwardTheEdd]

Angus was a brave man

[HeavyTrafficAhead]

Just go to show you. Youth and enthusiasm is no match for old age and treachery.

[PrsFenderJackson1980]

I thought they did this contest with the sheaths still on?

[Olimast99]

He's kind of like a viking edition of Jack Sparrow.

[TheAvatar15]

@Olimast99 i totally agree with u ;)

[Unit403]

@Olimast99 well, maybe a little bit ;-)

[dsbclt]

@Olimast99 lol perfect

[Bodzioooo13]

@Olimast99 yes, but he was created before jack was borned in director's mind ;)

[numb19029]

'Bet on him if you'd like'

[MaximilianMontesa]

That's unfair. The redhead was provoked to fight (just so they could make a statement) and got killed as a result?

[theChaosEnigneer1]

@MaximilianMontesa A pawn in the Game...

[ozrtrasaken]

Angus, vilket jävla namn xD

[legoboll]

" A engineering dispute" XD

[VIKINGHUN]

It's Herger that kills Angus. Angus is the red-head...Herger is the blonde fighting...The book is incredible.

[snufffs]

we will miss Angus tonight, we will miss his sword.

[pipsqueek89]

@snufffs never noticed, but it sounds kinda naughty

[Boldark]

@VIKINGHUN yes, the books is awesome!

[Hellstinger]

Angus is the man. The best warrior ever

[odenskrigare]

Nobody cares

[ulolz88]

best movie scene

[chepebravo]

:20 I'm sorry

[chepebravo]

3:48 almost looks like he's wearing a blue tooth

[bleushift]

i dont understand it to good

why did he provoked a fight with that redhead and make it look he was loosing and then he cut his head of why?

[AnimaTempli101]

They had to make an example to him to send a warning to the prince not to mess with them. He made it look like he was losing to trick so the prince now fears their minds as well as their swords

[startingsprinter]

the woman told the main character something about the prince..and so they decided to provoke the prince by killing one of his friends...?

i think

[VincentGnawl]

because they were proving that theirs more to them then just brawn. "any fool can calculate strength." they chose the biggest dude to prove that strength isn't always a deciding factor in victory.

[BerserkJheova]

How long is the sword of angus?..mts?..my viking sword is more larger than angus sowrd..but its cool.. HAIL ODHIN!

[Kamahl777666]

shyt is all kinds of fucked up

[Renegadesays]

what does northman have to do with westerners??

[MrTriggr]

uhm...Northman/vikings are....westeners. Actually, the "Viking" culture was the dominant one in the area around the North sea, Normandy, Ireland, most of Scotland and England, parts of Germany, poland and the baltic, Vikings founded the state of Russia (Rus actually being old Norse meaning wild) all the way down to constantinopel and to the America's (a certain mr. Eriksson beat Columbus to it by some 5 centuries)

so what was it you were saying?

[Renegadesays]

yea i know where they are.

but people talk about this movie like its whould be arabians and americans storie.

but viking lived in europe, and they've never had any religious jarring with the arabians.

so what are we talkin about?

[MrTriggr]

Vikings, I suppose. And Arabs and well, a kinda nice movie and ....yes, good question...what are we talking about...?

we both seem to know what it is about...

ah well, at least WE are on topic....

[MarymonckiJohn]

Vikings were sailing travelers, invaders and merchants but they didn't leave much of cultural impact on the territories they've visited. In the places were they've settled, like Normandy-later Dutchery of Normandy, they got swallowed by French culture saving only some features of their own. They laid foundations for the first dynasty of Kiovian state(Kiovian Rus, however wasn't actually the same thing as Russia You're reffering to) MAny Danish settlers indeed stayed in England

[MarymonckiJohn]

The lands of "Danelaw" were however reconquered succesfully by English not many years before Guilleme de Conqueror came. I don't know what do U mean by westerners - I think it would be rather more correct to say that they became part of European family once they got baptised and therefore started circulating in the orbit of the roman-greek -jewish influences which are the main foundations for European civilisation.

[elguerreromuisca]

one mistake here, jewish have nothing to do with nordic, christians did, jews did not influence nordic spiritually in any way at all...

[MarymonckiJohn]

Jewish culture and thought too, influenced Scandinavia although not in a straight way but through Christianity - one of the great factors that supported the creation of European civilisation. And Christianity originates from Jewish religion, culture and thought. Of course, the mixture of all those great factors, that created foundations of modern Europe, have one important feature. Survival of any of those elements as a whole, would make existence of the Europe we know impossible

[masterdimsen]

Christianity derived from judaisme (jewish religion) and later again became what is today known as lutheranisme

[MarymonckiJohn]

I know about the great influence of protestantism on Scandinavian societies. Especially protestant ideas considering work and definition of wealth greatly contributed to the fact that You guys have opinion of very hard working and active people.

I've read an article recently saying that huge part of Swedes prefer to spend their free time actively- either by sport activity or housework; making repairs and working in garden. I don;t know how does it look in Denmark

[elguerreromuisca]

that6 was already par of scandinavian culture, even before christianity got there...

[MarymonckiJohn]

I was reffering to the protestant ethos of work that, in general praised work as a form of religious activity, In other incarnation, it also inluenced American culture(Cotton Mather, pray, eat your porridge and work). It was just a kind of simplification of christianity, narrowing it to few simple rules within which work had new religious meaning. I'm not saying that they didn't work as much as they had to before. Protestant values brought changes of menthality to this part of the world

[masterdimsen]

Well at the time protestantism didnt excist so its more like catholicisme

[MarymonckiJohn]

I wasn't talking about the Viking era or Middleages but protestant echoes in todays Scandinavian menthality.

In 922, year where movie is set, some Vikings, especially Varagians were already baptised. If they knew some foreign languages, that would be Greek but not Latin. There are many things in the movie that are not historically accurate but I don't mind that-that's just a movie. What I do mind about the movie is that it could be a bit longer, with bit better developed characters

[masterdimsen]

Echoes is not the word denmark is a protestant country it is the most common religion here though ofcourse there is others too

Yeah I agree it would be great if the movie were longer and the characters were more developed so to speak, though i would like it to be as accurate as it can be but i think it is greek the skald speaks and not latin...

[MarymonckiJohn]

Skeld speaks Latin, I'm sure about that. I had Latin classes at school.

Melchisider (character played by Omar Sharif) uses Greek words for Chieftain, King - 'Basilea, Hegemona' and Skeld answers very fluently with: "Noster Rex ? Tabernaculum!". (Our King? In his room!). As everything that follows like "mortus est, tercius decum, videamos, spiritum mortes" etc..that's clear Latin. Yo can google it. I don't know where the actor who plays Skeld comes from but he pronounces Latin very fluently.

[masterdimsen]

Ok sorry I havent had any latin at all its just me who misunderstood something then

[Chimokko]

I think you're mistaken with which character you're talking about. Skeld is the one with the tattoos.

[MarymonckiJohn]

In Europe between 8th and Xth century we can speak of model of civilisation built on the ashes of Mediterranean Antiquity, supported by it's most crucial inventions(those days purified and deformed but still being the very foundation of all barbaric kingdoms). From this point of view, Vikings were another newcomers-like Avars, Bulgars, Sclavs, Hungarians who all settled, and like Germanic tribes before them, formed new countries influenced by the civilisation they encountered

[MarymonckiJohn]

I shall correct myself- I gave the centuries 8th-10 because I've wanted to undermine the times of viking expansion. But when vikings came, they actually encountered this post roman civilisation that was already 3 cent old, but still forming and not in the final shape of feudalism...

By the way-as a person of Sclavian origin, I must leave this little info about sclavian-viking relations- Viking lands were subject to Sclavian raids, Vikings took the word 'tarpaex' (axe) from Sclavian topor/tabar,

[masterdimsen]

Yet as a scandinavian I have never in my entire life heard of the word tarpaex before... though the aex part may be what later became "økse" (pronounced ökse) the danish word for axe

[MarymonckiJohn]

I have doubts on this one too. I've sent You a message due to the space limit

[argeHu]

Lithuanians/Curonians/Samogiti­ans resisted to Vikings. Vikings never took any of piece of land in their lands although it was just outside the Gotland.

[elguerreromuisca]

actually, they were influenced, no need to take over land your culture influences

[maven21]

what happend? and engineering dispute!!!LOL

[TheJanMiner]

This is a very nice movie showing Muslims and Westerners as friends please dont ruin it for everyone you bloody idiots.

[drsalee]

Let's all sing Kum-By-Ya..........dream on. We are still cavemen.

[Ctrustbank]

can someone tell me the whole point of that battle? I couldn't understand

[kardentyrell]

for whom the exhibition was for, the guy who walked away.....it was to show that simply power would not have been enough. In whatever plan he would want to make against beowyf and his friends, it might not be enough since he has no friggen clue to who he is facing, both in power, intelligence and deceptions.

[matijabozovic]

Hmm this is not true. The metal used to create a Viking sword was hard enough to rival Spanish steel in the west. Indeed their swords were heavy and powerfull due to their size and strenght but a Viking sword could never brake Katana in half. Real Japanese swords - Katana and Dai - Katana alike were made out of 10 different steel types and were melted and cool down time and again untill they were hard enough. Not even a bullet will scratch a true Katana's blade let alone another sword.

[dsmith215]

Sorry, but your comment has a few factual errors. The repeated heating/cooling process you mentioned was done primarily to create *different* levels of hardness/flexibility within the blade's structure, such that the edge would be hard, but the spine of the blade would be more flexible and lend energy to the cuts. Also, it isn't strictly true to say Katana were made of ten different steel types. The refining/forging process created many different layerings of steel with different properties.

[kardentyrell]

quite so, and the katana is a terrible weapon to block repeatedly with. It chips rather easily due to it's hard edge and it has a tedency with bad use to bend beyond repair, which is not true with typical western swords since they had allot more flex in them. Thats why japanese swordarts try to deflect a blow preferably, to not risk damage.

Japan had quite bad raw materials to work with for their steel production.

Oh and bullets are iron, katana steel.

Iron<steel

[dsmith215]

Actually, the vast majority of bullets are cast from lead, not iron. But you make an excellent point about the emphasis on deflection in Japanese sword styles.

[kardentyrell]

lead, iron...slight mistake....whichever the case, the material is softer then steel :)

[theScytheofGod]

I've seen a few documentaries on the forging of Katanas; you appear correct.

[friendtohumanity]

THe word in its common didn't exist..... but the vikings were surprisingly advanced. A viking sword is surprisingly easy to weild if you have the strength for it. A compotent swordsman could use one to break even a Katana in half

a note on the fight. this is one of the surprisingly accurate parts. The victor is incredibly honorable. He gave his opponent until the final moment to withdraw with Honor.

[Roachpoacher]

They had clever ship builders and brilliant sailors as well.

[friendtohumanity]

Eingineering acctually did exist. Don;t forget that the best non comprtmentalized ships ever built were built by the vikings. Most of the ran with less then 2-3 inches submerged. In addition they were highly manuverable, and wicked fast.

[Islam4Truth]

loool, they arab guy is the best, without him there is no taste in this film

[21SeekingHonor12]

He is not Arab sir. It does kinda make me mad at this but Antonio is very funny.

[Islam4Truth]

he is an arab sir,looool

[21SeekingHonor12]

Than please. Provide solid evidence. A true Muslim always confirms his facts.

[Islam4Truth]

this is the evidence,loool, i dont like amercans any way, they havent even got culture or civilzation, they are really britsh tht invaded amerca and wiped out the 20 million red indians lool

[Aquinas911]

When Muslims can take care of their crime then you can can talk about Americans culture or civilization....

[friendtohumanity]

don't fuel trolls. he's just some wounder bread self hating piece of crap that converted to Islam.

America has plenty of culture. the problem is that the current laws forbid us from expressing pride in it. *essentially*

[Makharbal]

muslim crime? whole world knows those terrorisms are sourcing from americans

[Aquinas911]

I know the whole world knows muslims are committing crimes against americans

[TsugaC]

And precisely how many Arab countries have put a man on the moon, have designed, built and operate supercarriers, or have lead the way in maintaining liberty around the world?

Go back to raping 10 year-old girls, Islam4Pedophilia, just like that filthy sack of excrement Mohammed.

[watson800]

To tell you the truth, that's one of the most racist comments I've ever heard.

[csnc82]

Well maybe he's an arab, well part arab, part iberic, part bereber, part greek, part phoenician, part jewish, part roman, etc. Remember that in Spain there has been a giant mixture of races, nationalities and ethnicities in the last 4,000 years...and more if he is from the south!!!

[galtai]

If i am not mistaken, he is from Andalucia, that makes him an iberian. The mixture of races in the peninsula is not accurate concerning the arabs. No etny of that place ever mixed with them. Antonio is an iberian, with roman and goth influence.

[NAMEMEPLEASE]

02:46 FATALITY!

[Burien79]

A very under-rated movie.  Thank you for posting this movie.

[partyhat3]

Thanks for posting. one of my favourite films

[Islam4Truth]

hey its ma favourite 2

[christkind84]

der rotschopf sollte mal gegen nathan jones kämpfen!!! --> what a fight!!!! -lach-.....

[flastikis]

good fight . i like viking history

[EINLANZERVFR]

the word "ingineering" don't exist in the year 800 when the vikings live.

Start in 1400 with Da Vinci, or not???

[TemperaMagenta]

But then they didn't speak modern day English in Scandinavia either. ^^

[water14789]

it's true, but this is translated from norse to english. in norse it would be 'bygge' which means both engineering and building. minor mistake from the scriptwriter's side :)

[Islam4Truth]

loool, am with you, but am kindaa sure there is lool

[5797]

Whats your point? Not only did "engineering" not exist back then, neither did nearly 100 percent of the words being used in this film!

[facefart]

SSSSSTUPID FOOLS!!!!

[tehkao]

"An engineering dispute"

lol

[TheSunMoon]

this just shows brawns ain't everything in a (one-on-one) battle ;-) feinting is g00d and try not to be "loud"~hides your true abilities =P

[giranto]

ok? that was not good? why kill the biggest and strongest when there is half bear people in the hills just wating for an oppurtunity to eat them all up?

[snowboredsnj]

There was more of a subplot that I reckon ended up being cut from the film.

[salemcripple]

Watch the end of this clip again, it explains.

[Ronin0219]

Exactly. A point needed to be made, even at the expense of losing one of the bigger warriors.

My favorite scene in the film.

[jungleman68]

greatest scene!

[steveharrismetalgod]

hahaha!I love it when the big red-head guy shatters the otherone's first shield with only 2 strikes and he gets up and says:''luck''!!!hahahahaha!cla­ssic!

[baldys86]

my favourite scene.

[axlslashmatt]

classic movie!!

[meleagrid]

KMA... big guy...your d'd b'fore you 'knw't'.

[arcer01]

Can somebody explain to me what this was about? And the thing with shields?

[Troublesome2008]

Read the comments.

[RxJohnTNT]

ven = van els = vandalism of today

even the mighty Romans of that time feared them... they eat the dead = paint them self blue ..worship the stone and the tree.. pagons . killers of woman and children... druid like .. see King Authur how the english took them on the Irish absorbed them and brought them to Christianity

and their eternal salvation...

[steelshoes2004]

The poignant part of the coolest movie! Most of life can be boiled down to 'An engineering dispute'

[Troublesome2008]

Man, i love reading comments...

Every once in a while you read something that makes you think...

[UkeTube]

"Deception is the point...

Any fool can calculate strength,

but now he has to calculate what he can''t see

And fear what he doesn't know...

foolish and expensive"

this is humanity's gravestone

[Hattusa]

HOLMGANG!

[DragonToes13]

engineering dispute LMAOOOOOO THAT WAS FUNNY

[BlackChristmas283]

*Chop* OH SNAP!

This is my fav. fight scene ever.

"Bet on him if you like" lol :)

[BlackChristmas283]

*Chop* OH SNAP!

This is my fav. fight scene ever.

"Bet on him if you like" lol :)

[Squall01mv]

"bet on him if ya like"

[sweetheartbreaker666]

This duel that Angus and Herger are having was known to the Norsemen as a "HOLMGANG" and it was a recognized way to settle disputes. HOLMGANG can be translated as "to go to

(or walk on) a small island" or simply

"island walk," perhaps a reference the duels taking place upon a small piece of hide or cloak placed on the ground. The name may also derive from the combatants dueling on a small island or islet.

[sweetheartbreaker666]

At least in theory, anyone offended could challenge the other party to HOLMGANG regardless of their differences in social status. This could be a matter of honor, ownership or property, demand of restitution or debt, legal disagreement or intention to help a wife or relative or avenge a friend.

Holmgangs were fought 3-7 days after the challenge. Refusing the challenge would have meant that one was "Niðingr"

(ie, cowardly or effeminate), and could have been sentenced to outlawry.

[1224Femina]

did it always end with someone dying? No truces? that would suck.

[sweetheartbreaker666]

Funny you should mention something about truces. It didn't take long for those Norsemen who were skilled enough to earn a good living by engaging in "Holmgangs".

Many times, corrupt vikings who were much stronger and more skilled than other average citizens would fight holmgangs regardless of the cause for a very high price just because they were the more skilled fighter and could easily win their matches, even if they or the parties they were representing and fighing for were in the wrong.

[EntombedHate]

its all about money the strong become hiered thugs of mercs and slaughter everyone it was the same with the celts

[EntombedHate]

no they belived if you agreed to a truce you were a coward so the odds are realy aganist you lol

[sweetheartbreaker666]

Sadly, that's as much true in this day and age as it was back then. If you tried to reach a solution to the "dispute" through a truce, peaceful negotiations, or any other means that were less than violent, you we're almost guaranteed to be labled weak or cowardly, would most likely damage your reputation, and be scorned & ridiculed by your community.

If you decide to fight (regarless if the matter was worth the fight or just a trivial argument), you'd run the risk of serious injury or death.

[sweetheartbreaker666]

So basically...

You were damned if you did and damned if you didn't.

As they say...Nine Kills Nine.

[EntombedHate]

correct

[saltfan2]

In the end we all stand alone. Fuck em.

[rolandgunslinger]

Herger has that cocky look on his face right after he cuts off Angus's head. Love this movie.

[SirThinks2Much]

My favorite part in the whole movie.

[KurdishTiger47]

This True Story Ahmed Ibn Fadlan

[KamiKazeroK]

Bloodmoney?

[Emka007]

Best scene in this movie - and Herger is just

wonderful...

[LordNth]

Love this part!

My wife loves all the large Norse actors.

[Laodeceya]

I love this video! Very good.
