4 out of 5 stars Double your fun.......2006-10-30

I was positively surprised by these movies. I wasn't expecting the quality in plot, acting and especially cinematography. The picture-quality of both is the best i have seen in a long time: every inch of the frame is sharp and perfectly lit. I prefered "Viking" to "Vengeance". The former is "Clash of the Titans" meets "Indiana Jones". I could do w/o the mythology-like stuff. And the 3 most interesting characters in "Vengeance"---the rich man, his wife, and the boat captain---are in less than half the movie. That was disappointing. A movie with them in all of it would have been Oscar material. The "she" is pretty, but a wallflower. "Viking" ("Galdiator" meets "Braveheart") has history, action and romance, and is more interesting and realistic than "Vengeance".

The Vengeances of She
--------------------------------------------------------------------
My name is Carol

Carol has disturbing dreams and wakes up screaming "Ayesha." She is also compelled to go to a secret destination. On the way she has many trials and tribulations. She also befriends a psychiatrist that is interested in helping her by following her journey. Anyone who tries to deter her form her quest is mysteriously killed in the style of the movie "Final Destination" (2000). What will she find there and is she actually Ayesha or the victim of mind control?

Many viewers like to say that "this is not like the book `The Return of She'"; for this movie viewers have to also get over the loss of Ursula Andrews and the absence of the whip (should be "G" rated). Once the shock is over this is quite a good movie.

The sets and scenes were well done. There was nothing unbelievable and nothing that looked like cardboard. The blue flame looked familiar to the original "She" Viewers.

The cast was well chosen for the movie. Of course there is Olinka Berova (Schoberovà) as Carol. She faithfully does a convincing job of playing a confused Carol/Ayesha. Another surprise is Colin Blakely. He plays a rich yacht owner (George) in this movie and played a rich yacht owner (Sir Horace Blatt) in Agatha Christie's "Evil Under the Sun" (1982)

The Viking Queen
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All Viking and Celts look alike.

In the tradition of Monty Python, The movie starts out with a monologue and map telling of the extent of the Roman Empire.

The old Celtic king dies leaving his kingdom in the charge of his daughter and Rome as co-regents. The daughter Salina is in love with Rome's representative. He gets tricked, she gets whipped, and the fun begins. Will everything turn out o.k. in the end or will Salina be stuck for an ending?

You may notice that this story sort of, kind of, but not much, follows the story of Boudicea of the Iceni tribe. The druids look like Jewish priests from old biblical movies. They naturally worship Zeus. And carry golden cycles as they forecast Roman doom at the hands of Salina (Carita). This may be the reason that all the Stonehenge type structures are not quite square.

Don't miss the fight scenes. Many look like cowboys and Indians. Then there is a scene where the Celts attack with Ben-Hur hubcaps on their chariots. "Stand fast, they are only women."

Both DVD's in this double feature have the same DVD extras. The extras are on the back side of the DVD and are more like a commercial for other Hammer films. The also boast wide screen. I suppose that is what you call the 2 inch black bars on the top and bottom of the screen.

  1. Grave of the Vampire
  2. Giant from the Unknown
  3. Lethal Dose
  4. Dawn of the Dead (Widescreen Edition)
