Knight of the Living Dead is a 2005 Icelandic film about a knight and a Viking who get resurrected and continue their gruesome battle in the year 2005.
It's notable for the memorable characters that have nothing to do with the main story (Guitar Playing Dan, GasMask Man, The Shemale Mexican Mother), the battles between the Knight and Viking and the comedic overtunes to the gruesome death scenes.
It was written and directed by Bjarni Gautur in the summer of 2005, and features appearances by Lloyd Kaufman, Trent Haaga, Justin Channell, Morbid Chid, Zane Crosby, Siggi Jökull & Corey Hawk.
The songs in the movie were composed by Siggi Jökull, but the movie also featured many songs from various independent death metal bands around the world, including Ultra Vomit, Changer and DogHorse.

—Robert Bresson (b. 1907)
“When the Somalians were merely another hungry third world people, we sent them guns. Now that they are falling down dead from starvation, we send them troops. Some may see in this a tidy metaphor for the entire relationship between north and south. But it would make a whole lot more sense nutritionally—as well as providing infinitely more vivid viewing—if the Somalians could be persuaded to eat the troops.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
