By I-love-movies
Let me start by stating that there are at least two versions of this film on DVD. Both are hard to find, but available here on Amazon from time to time. The one version is Region 2 with Icelandic audio, and Swedish subtitles. The other one is Region 1 with Icelandic audio and English subtitles. (Thhis one)

Description:
(English) When the Raven Flies concerns the revenge a young Irishman takes on the Vikings who raided his home and killed his parents. The raiders are in disfavor with the ruling king of Norway, and have taken up residence in the unpopulated regions of Iceland. Our hero, Gest, seeks them out and destroys them by pitting them against each other. The theme is unending revenge (a good Nordic theme) and the method of the telling is heavy on action and violence and light on philosophy and moralizing. Director Hrafn Gunnlaugsson is a self-described disciple of Ford, Kurosawa, and Leone.
(Swedish) Äventyr från 1984 av Hrafn Gunnlaugsson med Jakob Þor Einarsson och Edda Björgvinsdottir.
När Gest var barn på Irland, kom Erik och Thor i spetsen för norska vikingar och mördade hans föräldrar, brände ner hans hem och rövade med sig hans syster. Erik och Thor flyr från den norske kungen och bosätter sig på Island. Thor tar Gests syster till slavinna och när hon får barn med honom, gifter han sig med henne. Efter 20 år kommer Gest till Island för att hämnas. Hans syster ställs nu mellan sin bror och mannen som är far till hennes älskade son. Vill hon följa Gest efter så lång tid? Vill hennes son det?

I have not seen this movie for many years, but when i first saw it in the early 90's it was one of the best movies i've seen. I recommend the islandic version, as I had a great time just trying to learn iclandic through the movie.... Heavy knife.... I would classify the movie as a viking "cowboy/western" movie. I just wish it was available streaming from somewhere.
De ver ja who draft Eric in Miklagordi...
