Yonder lies da castle of my fadder

I had this castle set too! I seem to remember it came out after the movie "The Vikings" with Kirk Douglas and Tony Curtis but I might be mistaken.

But I remember it had knights and vikings and serfs and all kinds of stuff.

This might not be exactly the one I had but it seems a lot like it.

    At another level it's a gated community designed to keep out the riff-raff made into child's play.

    I can't restrain my movie nerdness. That line isn't from the Vikings, it was from "The Prince who was a Thief".

    "The Vikings" is one of my favorite 50s movies. 2 Jews and an Italian play the Vikings - and they're great! Now that's acting. Plus Janet Liegh was a real babe.

    Oh I know that. I was just making fun of Tony Curtis who was in the Vikings. He had a terrible accent.

    Of course that might have been because he always had his lips wrapped around Janet Leigh's pointy breasts so I can give him a pass.

    Is that the flick where they killed some handcuffed dudes by dropping them on top of an enormous steel blade? Dude, that thing took my breath away.

    I remember the good guys were bad in a good way, and they were searching for a golden bell that ended up being found because it was the entire top of a church or hut or bell tower or something. And didnt they roll it down a cliff into the fiord?

    help me out here Blake

    Well the Vikings is the movie where they tied up Tony Curtis on a post in the water awaiting the uncoming tide so the crabs would eat him.

    Not the first time Tony Curtis had a problem with crabs.
