Storyline

Once a mercenary of Queen Elizabeth I fighting Spaniards in Africa, Solomon met the Devil's Reaper and discovered he was bound for hell. Barely escaping, he soon renounced violence to atone for his past sins, seeking out redemption in a life of peace. That is until the followers of sorcerer Malachi kidnap a Puritan girl, Meredith Crowthorn, and brutally slaughter her family before his very eyes, forcing Solomon to take up arms and return to his violent ways once more to rescue her. Written by corsos, corrected by Pike84

Goofs

Anachronisms: The young woman Kane sets out to save is named Meredith. This was a Welsh surname, but when used as a given name (often as a patronymic) it was given to males. It didn't become a female given name until nearly 300 years after the time period of this film, and then mostly in the US. See more »

Quotes

Meredith Crowthorn: How... What are they?
Solomon Kane: These? They are the story of my life. See? Some of my own making; these marks and symbols here.
Meredith Crowthorn: What do they mean?
Solomon Kane: They are for... protection. Others, here, are wounds.
Meredith Crowthorn: How were you hurt?
Solomon Kane: I've been shot, stabbed and beaten more times than I can recall. These here, was a spear thrust by a tribesman of Africa.
Meredith Crowthorn: Africa? You were at sea?
Solomon Kane: I was a captain.
