«One of the strangest films to emerge from the fertile 
imagination of Roger Corman, The Saga of the Viking Women and Their Voyage 
to the Waters of the Great Sea Serpent details the story of a band of Nordic 
women concerned over the prolonged absence of their menfolk. They set out in a 
longboat to look for them, but soon the boat is destroyed by a whirlpool and all 
but four of the women are drowned. The survivors make their way to an island 
where they are captured by a tribe of moron warriors. These slobbering spearmen, 
the Grimaults, place the women in a quarry along with the long-missing Viking 
men, and when a storm comes up they all escape and steal a boat. The Grimaults 
take off after them in another boat, but they encounter the whirlpool and a sea 
serpent which lunches on the pursuing villains. One of the Viking men slays the 
big lizard and they all reach their home safely. Made on a 10-day schedule for 
$110,000, the film was plagued by difficulties. On the first day of shooting the 
leading lady called in sick, so Corman took the second lead, Dalton, and 
promoted her to lead the Viking woman, then bumped each of the other Viking 
women up a notch and added an extra at the bottom. When the film was finished 
Corman still didn't have a title for it. Stuck for a concise title, he decided 
to go completely the other way and give it the longest title he could come up 
with. It was later shortened when it was found it wouldn't fit on theater 
marquees».
