AboutPopcorn Guy Expertise I`m pretty good in most every genre of movie, but horror and sci-fi are my best categories. I`m also pretty good on the old studio films of the 30`s - `50`s.
Experience Three walls of videos in my den, and a shelf of reference books. Also have a degree in film criticism, which helps...

Question -
I would be impressed if you can help me on this, or suggest another site I could turn to. Anyway, I remember seeing a movie on TV when I was younger(early to mid '70s) that I think involved a group (4, I believe) of teens that were being chased by an unearthed giant. I'm not sure of the plot details, but the giant might have been a Viking. In the end, I vaguely remember the giant falling off a bridge or something like that. Do you know what the title is, and do you have any more info on the movie (which might not have ever been on the big screen)? Thanks

Hi, Jeff...
Not finding anything that even remotely matches what you're looking for here... do you remember anything else about it? The stars, or at least what they looked like? Color or black-and-white? Was it in English, or had it been dubbed form another language? Send me a follow-up and tell me anything else you can remember...
Thanks,
PCG
I figured this would not be easy if only because the details are so sketchy. I'm somewhat sure it was in English. I have no idea about the cast, and am not even sure if the movie was in color or B/W. The one thing I remember is that the "giant" did fall off a bridge -- maybe a suspension one -- during a climatic fight scene with one of the group. The group might have disturbed an Viking burial site. I think I saw the movie in the early '70s but it might have been made in the '60s. I wish I had more to go on. For some reason, this movie made an impression on me even though I'm sure it wasn't a classic by any stretch. If you can do more searching and find out about it, that would be great, but if not, thanks for trying.

Answer Hi, again, Jeff...
Okay, here's the deal.. the "Viking" thing is killing me... I keep getting hung up in all those god-awful Viking movies made in the late fifties... seen too many of them to be able to weed through all of them. None of them are fitting the dates you mentioned, though...
Do me a favor... tell me exactly what the giant looked like, as much as you can posibly remember...
Meanwhile, check out two titles for me, see if they are what you might be looking for. One is a Disney movie called "The Island at the Top of the World." The other is called "Viking Women." The full title is like three lines long, but the shortened title is the British release title.
Send me another follow-up and tell me more about the giant... sooner or later, we'll figure this out, partner...
