Full Length Movie Reaction on Patreon: / 104127968 - Our Patrons got to watch the full length Conan the Barbarian Reaction more than a month early.
Conan the Barbarian is one of Hannah's favorite movies. She has been wanting to see Tori react to it for quite a while, so with the help of our Patrons we made this happen!
Before tori saw Arnold Schwarzenegger as Conan, she met him as The Terminator, Dutch in The Predator, Quaid in Total Recall, and in many of his other roles.
Now it was time to go back in time and see his first appearance, alongside the great James Earl Jones, Max von Sydow, and Sandahl Bergman.

Are the sequels worth watching?
💯🙏
What you are looking at the opening of the movie is the original sword-in-the-stone myth. Blacksmiths at the time were considered magicians. They built their forges next to outcroppings of hard rock where they could curve the shape of a sword into the stone and then pour hot metal into it to create the shape. It was very crude smelting process and only occasionally did they get a great sword, but when they did those swords became a legend, as did their wielders!
The other thing you should understand is according to the mythology, Conan's people, the Cimmerians, were the last descendants of the Akkadians, who were the last remnant of the Atlantean's, which was the most powerful civilization on the Hyborian Earth for thousands of years.
This Age of the Hyborian Earth lasted for thousands of years.
The civilization we live in today has only been around for a handful of centuries!
why is it just just you?
did the other girls see this?
The music is brilliant! You can totally play the soundtrack without the movie and meditate on it the rest of your life 😅
@@user-xj7hq1pp3x Double Thumbs Up!
"What is best in life?"
“To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women!”
"That is good. That is good."
Props to King Osric. MVP dad right there. "Here take my entire kingdom and everything in it. It's a small price to pay for my daughter."
King Osric : There comes a time, thief, when the jewels cease to sparkle, when the gold loses its luster, when the throne room becomes a prison, and all that is left is a father's love for his child.
When I was younger, I read the Conan comic books and planned of becoming an illustrator. Read the original novels by Conan creator Robert E. Howard. My son knows I loved the Conan films and comic books, so one day he did something with Alexa. I asked, “Alexa, what is best in life?” Alexa answered, “to crush your enemies. See them driven before you. And hear the lamentations of their women.”
If you got a recording of that, you should upload it to TH-cam, because that's hilarious. ⚔
Conan was basically just a comic book.
Savage Sword of Conan on the other hand...
So are the books as good as this movie?
my fear is that my sons will never understand me
I just love how when he gets his sword you just have a quick shot of the wolves who hounded him earlier waking up and him smirking...and then just a hard cut to him wearing a dozen wolf pelts XD
never noticed that! thanks
Most people totally miss this.
The wheel isn't for exercise: it's how machinery was run before electricity. That one runs a grain mill, making flour so people could have bread. Watch Pirates of the Caribbean and you'll see that a donkey pulls the wheel that runs the blacksmith shop Will works in.
There is a great theory that it wasn't actually a grain mill, but a machine created by the war masters of the east to find Nietzschian supermen like Conan; the clue is in the title card - "that which does not kill us makes us stronger". The sole purpose of the Wheel was to test those committed to it.
One small detail that many people do catch but far more do not: The last man Conan fights in the big battle near the end was wielding Conan's father's sword. Conan cuts through it with his sword, the one he got from the giants in the tomb after he was set free. At the end of the movie, he uses its broken hilt to cut Thulsa Doom's head off and then discards the sword, closing the circle of when his people were murdered in the opening scene. His father's sword was made, used to defend his people, stolen, used against him, and he finishes the job his father and sword started. He revenges his people and closes the chapter, not holding onto the past any longer. Great bit of storytelling, that.
"Ha! Crom laughs at your Four Winds"
I quote this whenever I see ads for Four Winds Casino.
😹😹😹
I'll always appreciate the first Conan was rated R. The second one was 'cleaned' up so they could get kids in the seats while also having a much 'safer' storyline which feels like a video game quest compared to the first's coming of age and avenging his family. Both worth a watch but completely different in tone.
The sequel was ruined by the fact that Hollywood was blacklisting John Milius due to his conservative politics. Milius & Stone read the comics & books & understood the lore.
. so there is a non clean version ?
@@dansemacabre6515 That is not what happened with Destroyer. Milius was busy (with Red Dawn I believe) and the studio didn't want to wait to cash-in on the success of Conan and so we got Destroyer. The 'blacklisting' did happen until year later, and wasn't an actual blacklisting in the sense of what happened to suspected communists, but rather according to Milius that he felt that his later flops were less forgiven because of his politics. Conan was a success, as was Red Dawn, the flops Milius was referring to hadn't happened yet.
Mako's voice was perfect. He also performed Gen. Iroh's voice in "Avatar, The Legends of Aang"
This is the one of the best movie scores ever made and I adore it: it makes the movie for me. RIP and Vale, Basil Poledouris.
Fun fact time:
1. The guy telling them about the snake temples and selling them Stygian Lotus was played by Ron Cobb, the production designer on Conan, Alien and loads of other top movies.
2. Sandahl Bergman, who played Valeria, nearly got her finger cut off in one of the fight scenes, when the stuntman she was fighting missed his mark. She had to be rushed to hospital and it was touch and go whether the production would have to be abandoned.
3. Gerry Lopez, who played Subatai, wasn't a professional actor, although he had had a bit part in a surf movie. However that movie was directed by John Milius, and the two became freinds and surfing buddies, so when Milius got the gig directing Conan, he cast Gerry in the part. I think I'm right in saying that he never acted again (?).
Conan made the perfect mic drop when he dropped that sword after he cut that wizard's head off
The Sorcerer's. The Wizard was his friend.
The sound of that head rolling down the stairs though.... I've never hacked off anyone's head and chucked it down the steps, but that sound seems like it's not far off.
Arnold had retired from body building but he got in such good shape for this role he came out of retirement and entered the Mr. Olympia contest and won it for the 7th time.
The Pict Scout in the scene where Conans village is attacked at the beginning was played by Franco Colombo one of Arnolds closest friends and training partners, Thorgrim, one of the lieutenants of Thusla Doom(specifically the bone who used but hammer)was played by another of Arnold's friends and training partners Sven-Ole Thorson.
Mike Mentzer should've won Mr. Olympia that year.
Franco also plays the Terminator that shoots up the camp in Reese's flashback.
This is my favorite movie. I'm no expert on film-making, but I believe the spirits she fought were all painted on to each frame of film. Like by a real artist. Neat
"... my son." James Earl Jones is amazing! Awesome movie. To this day, Arnold would like to make "King Conan", the 3rd and final movie of the Conan arc... well, HIS Conan arc. :D
Arnold and John Milius were actually in discussion with Universal to make King Conan back in 2003, but then Arnold backed out to run for governor of California.
35:12 "Yeh, what is this... concoction, here?"
Why, it's good old-fashioned split pea and hand soup, just like mama used to make.
Mmm-mmm good.
its old fashioned soylent green made the old way
This film is great largely due to the composer: Basil Poledouris. One of the greatest in film history 🎉❤
I pray to Crom that Tori will get to react to the sequel at some point.
why? the sequel is god awful
and if Crom doesnt help, then...h3ll with him.
@@Atheos1 Crom awful.
Just because you hummed it:
1) The fanfare playing over the Universal logo was composed by Jerry Goldsmith, the greatest film composer ever, in 1997. It wasn't part of the original movie.
2) The score was composed by Basil Poledouris, another one of the great film composers, who sadly died far too young. Conan is one of his masterpieces, and his breakthrough movie score.
Some fun aspects.
The crew tasked with building the sets and props were told to build things with actual thought of their use, like the wheel of pain is designed for grinding wheat or something.
The wheel was so well designed, that when Arnie first tried to push it, the spun so easily, that the back spoke hit him from behind. A crew had to push in the opposite direction to give Arnie resistance.
The dogs were so untrained, they attacked their handlers and really chased Arnie.
When getting his face painted and hearing Mako's humming, Arnie was so soothed, he fell asleep.
The director envisioned Conan as becoming a series like Bond, and that each year or so, would make another film chronicling Conan's rise to power, but they only got one sequel.
Well, one sequel plus Red Sonya... That was supposed to be Conan, but they couldn't get the rights to use the name, so they just changed his character to be called Calidan or whatever.
Fun Fact: Aside from a bit part in a 1978 surfer movie by John Milius, Gerry Lopez (Subotai) had never acted in a movie before. Milius hired him for the role of Subotai, as they had been surfing buddies for years. Lopez now makes both surf- and snowboards in Oregon....And now, you know.
And knowing is half the battle!
Best partner in movies
You should re-watch the scene when conan gets freed. If you look at the red haired man, he's crying as he chops at the chain. I think conan was the closest thing he had to a friend and releasing him was like releasing a favorite pet.
Also, I'm sure that red haired man was the red haired kid who chained conan to the wheel. Conan spent years pushing the wheel and the red haired kid went to learn how to handle him.
I took it that conans owner might have seen him almost like a son. Of course the idea that keeping conan captive was like keeping an animal caged that should be running free.
Cynical view; conan made his captor rich how many times over as a fighter and renown with war lords while he showed off his prize. Letting conan go was the only kindness conan got since his family died. This way conan might remember him fondly instead of eventually rising up one day and kill his master.
This legendary character has been around for over 90 years.
From pulp magazines to a series of novels and long running comics by Marvel & Dark Horse.
Conan did indeed embody the Barbarian archetype in sagas of sword and sorcery, such as Dungeons & Dragons, Sega's Golden Axe series, etc.
This was only Arnold's 6th film and also his breakthrough role.
The first time that Arnold was really, truly acting with both dialogue and action in one unique vessel.
When I read the Marvel comics of Conan from before and after the movies, all I could see and hear was Arnold.
The 1983 sequel, "The Destroyer" was more like a RPG come to life.
The 2011 reboot with Jason Momoa in the title role is good, but not liked as much the originals.
Arnold was going to become Conan for a 3rd time (2000-2010s) as Conan The King.
Btw, you should check out Red Sonja (1985) with Bridgette Nelsen's film debut, pre-Rocky IV.
Another Robert E Howard creation and known as the "She-Devil with A Sword".
Conan & Red Sonja both existed in the same universe.
In that movie, Arnold has top billing and he's not Conan.
He plays Lord Kalidor aka Arnold playing Arnold with Conan-esque skills.
Most people dont notice it the first time they watch, but the sword that conan breaks is his fathers sword that Thulsa Doom gave to Rexor right after beheading Conan's mother. The sword his father forged, the sword that his father used as an example while telling Conan about Crom and the riddle of steel, the sword that killed his mother. conan takes up his fathers broken sword and uses it to behead Doom, he then discards the sword, which represented that whole first part of his life up to that point. When Thulsa Doom is trying to get in his head (maybe hypnotize) conan looks at his fathers sword and snaps to his senses.
the whole thing is about that sword in a way.
In the beginning, the raider who jumps onto the rock and pauses is Franco Columbu, Arnold's lifelong friend and fellow Mr Olympia. He also played the red eyed terminator that infiltrates the human hideout and murders everyone in the 'flash forward" when Reese is looking at Sarah's picture.
he might have also been the Russian advisor who gets blown backwards in Predator after Arnie says "Knock knock!" Or not. I know that guy was definitely one of Arnold's body building buddies, Franco or not.
Technically it wasn't "murder" as it was a war and people were the enemy of the machines.
"King by his own hand" is a play on words. In "Conan the Liberator" 1979 book he strangles the mad king. "Wore a crown on a troubled brow" was he learned that the responsibility of being king wasn't so adventurous, especially when he began to find out the condition of his new kingdom. Thank you for doing this top 5 of my all time comfort movies.
Hither came Conan, the Cimmerian, black-haired, sullen-eyed, sword in hand, a thief, a reaver, a slayer, with gigantic melancholies and gigantic mirth, to tread the jeweled thrones of the Earth under his sandalled feet❤
@@JustSomeGoy The Lion Eternal
Play on words? Conan literally takes a Crown and kingdom by force, after building his army. King Conan is a thing...no play on words. The troubled brow is because being the king did not end his battles, just changed the players and the rules.
@@CCFONESOL You're repeating what I said when I referred to "Conan the Liberator" 1979.
@@Calico_Jack_ it is not a play on words.
Tori, you were born to make reaction videos. Please never change.
The device at the beginning is called a Wheel of Pain. It's a grain mill (mill stones in the center) designed to be push by thralls (slaves) to break their spirit and strengthen their bodies. Grain is put in the center and milled, like a windmill, but man-powered.
He keeps saying "Crom" because to invoke his name is to curse. He's the kind of god that thinks "if you have the time to say my name, I haven't given you enough bad stuff to deal with."
The "machine" is not for exercise (I can't believe you actually said that). It's either a grain mill or a water pump. The boys were taken as slaves to turn the wheel. All but Conan eventually died. Either wild dogs or wolves. He looked like easy prey to them.
Subotai was played by Gerry Lopez, a champion surfer. The wizard was played by Mako, a famous actor back in the last century.
The first words spoken by Conan were actually spoken by Genghis Khan.
This is the most metal movie ever made. It rules.
This was his first starring role before The Terminator skyrocketed his career. Conan as a classic literary character is the literal definition of H A R D C O R E!!!!
Everybody should have, and be, a friend like Subotai: a friend who fights your battles at your side, who rescues you from danger and who cries your sorrows.
💯
In the comics, the only thing that Conan fears is sorcery.
Akiro 'The Wizard' : [voiceover] Between the years when the oceans drank Atlantis and the rise of the Sons of Aryas, there was an Age undreamed of, when shining kingdoms lay spread across the world. Hither came Conan, the Cimmerian, sword in hand. It is I, his chronicler, who knows well his saga. Now, let me tell you of the days of high adventure.
7:50 it’s technically a grind stone wheel, but in the Conan version is called the wheel of pain
most underrated, by critics of the time of release...masterpiece of cinema history.
oscar winning oliver stone, john milius, n basil. n the cinematagrapher
Con-an goes on a life voyage of discovery, as he takes up his quest for revenge
I'm glad younger people can STILL be interested & impressed by a film that is now...45 yrs old I enjoyed your shock reactions to the film, unlike modern cgi offerings CONAN BARBRIAN doesnt pull it's punches,
Loved this movie my whole life! THE BRUTALITY! Raw force/ power, muscles, whatever you want to call it. What is steel compared to the HAND 🖐️ that wields it? The visuals were intended to look like the fantasy art of Frank Frazetta! He officially gave Conan his signature “look” (on the covers of old old original Robert E Howard Conan short stories) he only ever looked like an ancient Roman… we’re talking about the 1930s here, and those stories STILL HOLD UP actually! until Frazetta came along, and comic books were also drawn of him later in the 1970s mainly but continued onward and upward. Know also that He-Man was supposed to be Conan for children. They did a good job without insulting the source if you ask me, because they gave HeMan the personality, morals, and secret identity of Superman! 😉
Film facts: Arnold had to lean out to do this film, whereas Mamoa had to bulk up!
-The name of the soup was "split pea and HAND".
-There was a franchise planned for Conan, like the Bond movies but after the sequel and Red Sonja under performed, it was scuttled.
-The scene where Conan is drunk, was almost cut because the producer thought it lessened him but the director won out and it was kept in.
-The swordmaster was the actual sword instructor for the movie.
-The woman that is given to Conan was a pornstar who didn't know anything about the scene, that was to be filmed. Her reaction to seeing Arnold was genuine because that was the first time she saw him.
Both Thulsa Doom and Conan's father are wrong. The strongest of steel will rust, the strongest of flesh will rot but the strongest of wills lasts forever.
Conan survives because of the strength of his will and he overcomes/defeats Thulsa Doom because of the strength of his will.
Also... Conan commits a huge blasphemy by praying to Crom for something.
You don't ask crom for things, you thank him for the gift he's given you.
Crom answers Conan prayer but makes him pay for it, for the rest of his life... And he's gonna live for a long time.
1. Conan's mom was a serious hottie!😍😋😈
2. The first woman he encounters was a witch.
3. Filmed primarily in Spain.
4. James Earl Jones is the MAN
5. One of the best endings ever.
6. "Conan the Destroyer" doesn't suck.
"Do you want to live forever?"
I agree CTD doesn't suck...and the witch..I go with witch or succubus.
@@ASKMEABOUTMYGARDEN The graphic novel has her as a harpy, but IMDB says she's a witch. I go there.
@williamjones6031 yeah .I would go with harpy as well.
yeah...his mom was hot. I had to look her up right after watching this. perfect 10
Crikey, I always forget that the great Max von Sydow was in it. By his own admission, Arnold learned a lot about dramatic acting from him.
That garish paint scheme they put on themselves is what they called "dazzle" camouflage in world war one. It's brilliant. It doesn't hide you, it confuses the enemy what your movements are because their brains can't sort out where you actually are. It was used in real life to protect ships from torpedo attack and was quite successful.
One of the manliest movies and soundtracks EVER.
Conan the Destroyer was good too and had Arnold in it. So was Red Sonja who was a recurring female barbarian featured in the Conan comics and she had her own run of comics too.
Tori reacting to one of my favourite movies of all time?? That's a win-win for me! ❤ It really is a great movie and the best representation of the Conan character on screen hands down. So many great moments. Love the passion in Conan and Valeria's relationship - Sandahl Bergman is equally as bad-ass as Arnie. Subotei is great too - I especially love the very moving scene at Valeria's funeral pyre where because Conan won't cry, he cries for him. James Earl Jones makes a great nemesis as Thulsa Doom. And Basil Poledouris' lush score is one of my favourite all time soundtracks. It's a pity that the plans to make a trilogy didn't work out and we got a sequel that wasn't the one originally planned. Though over the years Arnie often talked about wanting to do a third King Conan movie. Great reaction from you, Tori - I loved moments like your response to when Doom turned into a snake and I'm really glad you enjoyed this movie 🙂 Can't wait to see your next one!
An epic movie with an epic soundtrack. This is Arnold breakout role. Another great sword movie you should see is Highlander.
"What is steel, compared to the hand that wields it?"
What is a hand without the will to move it?
When I played Dungeons and Dragons in middle school in the 90s we would have Dragonslayer or Conan the Barbarian going in the background.
Honorable mention to Black Lotus..STYGIAN.. ( THE BEST ! )
As sold by Ron Cobb, the production designer on Conan, Alien, and loads of other top movies.
Am I the only that thinks that Tori would totally be able to pull off a Valeria cosplay? Also did anyone tell her that the actor that played Thulsa Doom also did the voice for Darth Vader (both trying to play the father card to their adversary) as well Mufasa in the Lion King? Great reaction!
Great reactions from Tori, to this awesome Conan / Arnie movie!
That machine is a mill, used to grind grain into flour, and believe me, they get plenty of exercise.
That was a mill for turning grain into flour, etc. Later times windmills were more commonly used.
When ever I see the vultures, I cannot but help to think about the ones in Disney's Junglebook. "Were are friends in need, we are friends indeed".
I hope that one day you will feel the thrill that I get when I see that RunToTheMovies has uploaded something new! Great show!
Wishing you the very best Victoria! ❤
Basil Poledouris ranks up there with John Williams and Jerry Goldsmith when it comes up to composing great movie scores.
It's a real shame that John Milius never got to make the next two sequels and complete his Conan trilogy.
Thulsa Doom was originally the villian in stories about another of Robert E howards characters, Kull of Atlantis. Thulsa doom in the Kull stories is a Skull faced sorcerer( also the inspiration for Skeletor or he-man).
James Earl Jones thulsa Doom is very similar to another Howard villian the character of Thoth Amon who features in one of the most famously theoretical Conan stories, the Phoenix of the sword as the villian and mentioned in two other stories written by Howard, The God inn The Bowl and the Hour of the Dragon. Thoth Amon like the films Thulsa Doom is a priest of a snake cult of Set
29:58 Owen Wilson's tree. The Tree of Wow.
🤣🤣🤣
I noticed the describtion saying this was Arnolds first appearance. But he had appeared in two movies prior to this. The first was Hercules in New York, were he was credited as Arnold Strong. The second was the 1979 western comedy "The Villain". Yes Arnold was in a western. It's actually a very funny movie, definitely reaction worthy.
Originally, this was supposed to be a trilogy. They did make a second movie, "Conan the Destroyer", but the third movie never happened. Some people mistakenly refer to "Red Sonja" as a Conan movie, but it isn't. Arnold Schwarzenegger does appear in the movie, but his character is not Conan. "Red Sonja" is still worth watching (in my opinion).
Great reaction, young lady. I agree with all the other comments, this is one of the best scores ever. A favorite movie and I watched it way too young.
Hi From The Sunshine state of Florida !! Next Conan the Destroyer & Red Sonja !!! Yet I also would recommend ( End of Days ) with Arnold
The like button 🔳 has been Illuminated 😊
This, Conan the Destroyer and the 2011 remake are all based on the novels of the same name by Robert E. Howard. This was Arnold Schwarzenegger's first starring role after winning seven Mr. Olympia bodybuilding titles. His films prior to this include Hercules in New York, The Villain, Stay Hungry and Pumping Iron. This has the same composer as RoboCop
This Conan The Barbarian is the best. It also has an amazing score by Basil Poledouris who's also known for his scores in Conan the Destroyer, Red Dawn, Robocop, The Hunt For Red October, Free Willy, Starship Troopers, and more. Please do ignore that crap remake.
And Conans father was in Red Dawn also.
@@dirtygrunt i didnt know that. He's one of the invading officers. I recognize his face now that you mention it.
Arnies dialogue is amazing in this 😂
I think Bob "Bob Cat" Goldthwait was heavily inspired by Arnold's work in this picture. "AAAeeeAAAeeeawerow!!!"
What there is of it.
You've won the internet with that comment. @chrispittman8854
Do you know hat lies behind these walls?"
"No."
His look and the way he says it is pure comedy gold.
His war prayer before the big battle was delivered very well. I still think it's one of Arnold's best moments.
The two main henchmen are the most Metal movie characters ever. 🤘
they look like ex-members of Motörhead or Manowar.
You gave such a great reaction. You got it. I see that very little in the young. This may be just coincidentally Arnold's best performance just for him being him barely speaking English and being built like he was . The director and his surfing buddy who played Subotai. I mean all of it and the production value and the depth they give to it all. This was not just a good fantasy movie it's a great movie period.
Loved that you loved this! Its almost my fave movie. I watch it everyday or every other day. 💔♥️
Great reaction! Awesome movie. The soundtrack is just fantastic.
It's a good thing you didn't see what was hanging on the walls in that red room aging...lol
The score to this movie goes so hard from start to finish, it's insane. Closest I've heard is Hans Zimmer's Dune part 1&2 scores
This is a great movie. The cinematography, story, & the music is 1st rate. I do recommend Conan The Destroyer
44:36 first chop; for his mother. Second chop, for his father. Final chop, for Valeria. Holding his severed head, for Conan's revenge.
Everything in this movie is great, with you and your cat....who is great😁
Great movie, with a great soundtrack.
LOL, yes, it was an "old tradition back in time" to burn the bodies of deceased loved ones. It's called cremation, you might have heard of it. 😂😂
Good reaction video, I enjoyed it.
The Burning of bodies, is dependent on the culture!
Conan killed Darth Vader's voice! : )
"All the gods, they cannot sever us. If I were dead and you were still fighting for life, I'd come back from the darkness. Back from the pit of hell to fight at your side." One of the best likes ever!
@15:45 Even Conan was less confused, despite his in film-universe unfortunate circumstances :D
Should watch the extended cut. The added stuff with the prinecss having a change of heart and helping Conan sneak in the back way to kill Doom is good. And there is more dialog wit Conon and his friend, helps to show that Conan has a sharp mind too.
Best. Score. Ever.
7:48 it is a human powered grist mill (to grind mainly wheat to flour). Some were hydro powered, powered by windmills, or by animals. 39:52 yes it dates back a long time, though people are still cremated today.
Glad you dug it!
The fake blood was delivered to the set in a concentrate and had to be diluted to be usable, usually with water. However, since it was very cold for times, instead they used vodka, causing people to swallow the fake blood when they were supposed to spit it out, and went back to the special FX crew for more.
It always amazes me how people are confused by Valeria helping Conan in the battle when she said she would come back from the pits of hell to fight at his side. The gods granted her that privilege for a second. Nobody ever makes the connection lol.
I had a stroke last week, so I won't be up for leaving any witty or insightful comments for a while. I'll still sign in occasionally to leave you a like to support the channel. Meanwhile, here's hoping for a reasonable recovery. If I can just get back to where I can walk and use my right arm decently, I'll be grateful. Wish me luck!
We wish you the speediest recovery possible! ♥️♥️ If you can, give us an update on your progress, when you can.
Tori
Arnold was still in great shape from his pro bodybuilding two years after his last competition in 1980. Then two years later, Arnold's major big break is The Terminator.
Tori
Arnold stated in his memoir and interviews that he hired a vocal (voice) coach to minimize his thick Austrian Accent in order to get more movie roles.
Hello Tori. 🌹😁
CONAN is a legendary movie and the best with Arnold in my opinion. So good and the music gave me chills. All well done 👌💪💪💪💪💪
Greetings from Germany Tori ❤
You’re funny that’s why I subscribed to your channel.
Robert E. Howard also wrote adventures of an ancestor of Conan, Kull The Conqueror. The film adaptation was definitely played more for comedy than rhe original text.
His father's sword breaks.
He is crucified and his flesh is broken.
The sword is not Steel.
The flesh is not the Steel.
These are not the answers to the Riddle of Steel.
Valeria fights off demons purely with her Will.
Conan overcomes his hardships purely with Will.

Conan severs the flesh of Thulsa Doom with the broken sword because he has the Will.
There's a picture circulating of Arnold..Wilt " the stilt" Chamberlain and Andre the Giant on the set of the 2nd movie...its pretty crazy how big those guys are😅🔥🤘
That big thing that Arnold is pushing around in a circle well it's probably like some type of millstone where it grind something up in big amounts I don't know
Great movie with excellent music. Possibly the best R rated movie ever.
