Sex & Nudity
-
- While the princess is rowing in the boat escaping from the Vikings she feels uncomfortable because of her dress. Eric tears open her dress from behind and her bare back becomes visible.
- Mostly PG
- During the opening scene of a Viking raid, the Chieftain kills an English King before seizing his wife and queen, implying impending rape (off-screen). We only see the aftermath of the encounter as the Queen is later found in a traumatized state.
- A Viking prince is first introduced in a scene where he is laying in bed with a blonde on top of him, holding a very long kiss before rolling her off of him. No nudity or explicit sex.
- A Viking wife is alleged to have cheated on her husband.
- During the first Viking feast, several women are shown serving men drinks before many of them are seized by the men and drawn into long kisses. No nudity or sex.
- A Viking captures a princess and attempts to kiss her during their first meeting. When he brings her home with him, his father comments on how attractive she is.
- A Viking prince and his father talk about women during another night of feasting. His father relates a story about how his son's mother fought him tooth and nail during their time in bed. The son declares he wants to have the same experience with the princess.
- A Viking prince attempts to make love to the princess he captured previously. He tries to make her fight him but she refuses. The Viking prince proceeds to kiss her without resistance before being interrupted by an intruding Viking slave who punches him out cold.
- A former Viking slave courts a woman he rescues. After much debate about their social and religious differences, the woman consents to a romance with the slave and they kiss. No nudity or sex involved.
Violence & Gore
-
- One implied rape. (Off-camera)
- Inside a tent a man is partially seen struck a couple of times with a sword. His body is later found partly obscured by the bed and sheets where he fell.
- A man releases his falcon on another man, leading to the latter being clawed in the face repeatedly. He is shortly seen afterwards holding part of his face and covering his eye with "Crayola Red" paint-styled blood covering his hand. Some days later after his wounds heal, he is seen with a blind left eye and scars on his face.
- Most of the fight scenes are 50s styled. Most of it is without blood. Some men are seen stabbed, shot with arrows, stepped on, knocked off heights or thrown off heights. Some men are knocked down and brutally killed off-screen.
- A Viking prisoner voluntarily jumps into a wolf pit, armed with a sword meeting his death with honor.
- For refusing to force a man into a wolf-pit, a man has his hand cut off (off-screen) by a king. He gets it cauterized off-screen also and sent back to the Vikings as a warning. When he returns, the aftermath is shown as a missing hand, wrapped up in hides and bandages.
- A guard is knocked down from behind and is stabbed off-screen with a sword. The sword is shown with a bloody tip afterwards.
- A man is pushed into a wolf-pit and killed off-screen.
- Two men have a final fight near the end of the film. After one breaks the sword of the other, the latter with the unbroken sword is stabbed with a broken piece his enemy still had in his hand. Some blood is very briefly shown on the broken sword before it's tossed away.
Profanity
-
- None
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- Some characters are shown drunk.
- Only during the party scenes, there is heavy drinking.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- Nothing terribly frightening to older viewers. Younger or more sensitive viewers may find some battle scenes a bit intense in select instances. Younger or more sensitive viewers may find the wolf-pit scene a little disturbing to the mind's imagination. All in all, The Vikings is relatively mild compared to other films portraying the same time period.
