Read the title, then, read it again - what sort of quality you'd expect from a movie with such title. 'Viking Women' is very low production even for Corman's standards and it ranks as one of his worst films he has ever directed. It is a bizarre adventure film and not without entertainment value, but the film is silly and feels and seems so rushed (even Corman himself regretted taking such a big scale project on such a shoestring budget) that it is not hard to pass that particular film, although the title might sound intriguing (the title itself is worthy of some award like - Longest and Hardest to Memorize Title Ever).A band of viking women are planning to take a voyage to search their men who went missing while on the sea. Willful and strong women (who are built like underwear models, and almost dressed as one) build a ship, but soon they get into trouble themselves when the storm rises and cheap looking rubber sea serpent crashes their ship. They are cast on the shore of a land ruled by vicious savages who take the women in as slaves.Somehow Corman managed to make it all work and build somewhat coherent movie around half naked viking women, who looked like sorority girls at viking themed costume party, and one lousy cheap looking monster. Still, the final film is ridiculous enough to bear more similarities with the works of Ed Wood rather than better efforts from Corman himself.

Considering the title and that the film was made by Roger Corman during his "quickie" days (he'd already made something like 679 other films in 1957), this film is about what you'd expect--a very low budget and silly picture. The only decent thing about the movie is the soundtrack--not bad at all. Otherwise, it's pure crap--1950s drive-in movie crap.The film begins with a bunch of scantily-clad blondes in Scandinavia pining for their lost men. Apparently the men had gone off to sea a few years earlier and never returned. So, these ladies decide to go in search of them. In real life, Viking women were amazingly tough ladies, but I just couldn't see this gaggle of skinny ladies putting up much of a rescue effort--and I turned out to be right. After almost being killed by a giant sea monster, the women wash ashore in the land of dark-haired bad actors where they are taken prisoner. There, they discover that their men are slaves to these dark-haired guys. I loved finally seeing the Viking men, as they all looked like extras from a 1960s beach movie--clean shaven, no chest hair and Troy Donahue hair---exactly like the rugged Vikings must have looked!! Eventually, the well-coiffed Vikings escape and the dark-haired jerks get theirs--the end.While there is a bit more to the plot than this, I really don't care to elaborate--it's just not that interesting or important. Instead, let's talk about the worst aspect of the film--the writing. Again and again, characters do things that make no sense at all. Why take the Viking women on a wild boar hunt? Why does the only dark-haired lady in the bunch of Vikings (a sure sign of evil) behave so wildly unpredictably as she does (I suspect really, really bad PMS)? Why does a teeny, tiny sword kill a 6000-foot long sea monster? How did the Vikings expect to keep warm wearing outfits that looked like they were left over from American-International's last caveman or jungle film? And, why didn't the writers include anything that was remotely exciting or interesting? The bottom line is that the film is just barely watchable but why bother unless you are a bad movie fan. Additionally, it seems that Corman must have quickly slapped together this film in anticipation of the soon to be released epic, THE VIKINGS, a film vastly superior in every conceivable way.

"The Saga of the Viking Women and Their Voyage to the Waters of the Great Sea Serpent" is about this group of women. Now this group of women I'm not sure if you were informed, but they were vikings.Now these viking women, well I don't want to ruin it for you but they voyage to the waters of the great sea serpent. Why? So there would be a saga. duh In my humble opinion, I'd have to say this is the best film of all time about Viking Women going to the Water of the Sea Serpent. Can you name one other movie that better captures the intensity and brilliance of women who are vikings? Not only that but they voyage to the waters of the great sea serpent. Is there a movie about this, this revolutionary subject that could even compete with "The Saga of the Viking Women and Their Voyage to the Waters of the Great Sea Serpent?" Now this Sea Serpent, he is great! This is one of the many reasons his title is Great. If this isn't enough for you to admit that it's perhaps the greatest saga of viking women on their voyage to... (guess where?) then you have your "film-school high class" attitude on too tight.Highly recommend this if you are in need of a saga about Viking Women.I may have mentioned this but they Voyage the hell out of the Waters of the Great kick butt Sea Serpent

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 ****
