Particularly noteworthy are Jones himself as a king who quite literally only sees what he wants to see Eartha Kitt as a very effective and chilling Norse goddess (yeah, it sounds weird, but it's perfectly done) and Antony Sher, whose Loki is equal parts weasel and villain. The movie's world is bleak and bitter (reading about Norse religion will show you that the Vikings lived in a bleak and bitter world), but Tim Robbins' idealistic and earnest Erik is just sweet and hopeful enough to keep things interesting, rather than completely depressing.
Terry Jones is probably the least appreciated member of Monty Python, but viewing `Erik the Viking' should change your opinion on that.
