For those of you who still haven't consumed enough turkeys over Xmas, The Hell With Hollywood is proud to present 'Tarkan Versus the Vikings' from, erm, Turkey. The local answer to Conan, with sword in hand and his trusty dogs (both named Kurt) at his side, Tarkan is more than a match for anything Dark Age Europe has to throw at him. In his run-in with the Vikings, this includes an evil Chinese princess, a merry band of Valkyries, and one of the most woefully lethargic killer octupi in cinematic history. The stars of the show, however, are the Vikings themselves, resplendent in bright orange wigs and monstrous false moustaches, these wolves of the sea favour day-glo fun fur cod-pieces, as if decked out for Valhalla by Liberace. Fast-paced, funny, and surprisingly brutal in places, 'Tarkan Versus the Vikings' is unlike anything you've ever seen, so gird your loins for a night of sword play and silliness The Hell With Hollywood style!
