Did anybody else think the spike pit trap was HILARIOUS?


When that scene happened it instantly made this movie great in my mind. I think it played out in my head something like this:
*Karl Urban standing alone, the camera shows the trap in front of him*
"Alright! Finally, enough picking off guys, he's about to kill 20 at once this is gonna be sweet."
*Indian warriors jump out and start to charge*
"Wait, what the hell? How is this plan supposed to work?"
*Karl Urban screams 'NOOOOOOOO!!!' in slow motion*
"HAH! REALLY!? They just showed up to help without him knowing? AND they have no idea about the trap he set? But that would just be too funny, there's no way they would actually-"
*Indian warriors all fall in the pit*
"OH GOD YES! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
*Vikings calmly walk up and massacre them*
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" (with tears in my eyes)

I like to think of this movie as a high budget B film. It features all the hilarious ridiculousness of a B movie but had a high budget for good sets/costumes/gore/effects(except the avalanche stock footage montage, lol)

I totally agree with this. When the indians starting running past him in slow motion I immediately knew something magical was about to happen.

definately.. the best part was Im pretty sure it was meant to be a really sad and emotional scene

lol I laughed so hard

"This isn't TV, it's real life. Can't you tell the difference?"
"Sure - I just like TV better."

As messed up as it is i couldn't help but laugh. My friend and i both laughed when i first saw it years ago and i laughed while rolling my eyes and asked "why?" It felt so pointless. Like why add that?

Correction. The laughing while rolling my eyes was done today when i saw it a second time.
