@Zoomer Stasi actually it is a comic book. In the early 1930s, when Conan was created, they were just stories. In the 70s it went into graphic novel/comic book form also. In early 80s it became a movie. So, by the time it was a film it had been an established comic book.
You guys are a bit off on the details. The big machine they chained young Conan was a mill where the slaves turned a giant millstone to grind grain. Then when Conan got bigger the master of the mill sold him to the red haired guy who then threw Conan into the gladiator fights with no training at all. But Conan still managed to keep winning. Over time the red haired master became proud/fond of Conan and saw him as more than just a slave or gladiator. That’s why he got all the teaching and training later. As a reward. That’s also why he was set free suddenly because the red haired master didn’t want Conan to perish in the gladiator pits. Also there are 2 swords. Thulsa Dooms lieutenant kept the sword from the beginning. That’s the sword Conan broke and then used to kill Thulsa Doom. The sword Conan found in the crypt was an Atlantean king’s sword. And in the original book the skeleton reanimated and fought Conan when he touched it. The girls name was Valeria but it was never mentioned in the movie.
To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women. My personal favorite movie and arguably one of the greatest musical scores of all time...
I can't think of another film soundtrack that so perfectly captures the emotional tone of each individual scene. If 'The Gift of Fury' doesn't move your soul, then you probably don't have one.
Basil Polidouris (corrected) created a genius and operatic score that made the movie sound just epic. That beginning scene, the Orgy, and the battle of the Mounds are phenomenal for that time.
Did you notice that he was being chased by dogs in the beginning and then got to the cave where he got a sword... The next scene he's wearing furs over his shoulders.. dog furs!
So Oliver Stone wrote the original screenplay, but it was way different, and going to be super expensive. John Milius, the director, did the Dirty Harry movies. And I found out yesterday the condor that Conan bit and killed on the Tree of Woe wasn't just a prop. It was apparently a dead Condor, and Schwarzenegger had to rinse his mouth out right after to prevent him from getting any disease. Also Subatai was just a surfer pal of John Milius's. He cast him for the movie. "This guy looks familiar." That's Darth Vader, which is ironic that he called Conan his son first, and tried to get him to join him. Also Valeria came back as a Valkyrie to help Conan because Crom answered his prayer.
There is nothing ironic about Thulsa calling Conan his son. Conan The Barbarian is an adaptation of Nietzsche’s “Will of Power” and “the Uberman”. Thulsa’s action made Conan in what he is today. Conan would be a normal man without Thulsa Doom. Thulsa gave him the Will of Power, the motivation to go above and beyond what a normal man can do. To become that “Uberman” you must “kill” ( or renounce) your love ( when Conan leaves Valeria), your Gods ( To Hell with You Crom) and your father ( Thulsa Doom molded him) .
Animal rights activists actually protested the film back then because of the animal scenes, including "punching a camel." His dad's sword was the one held by Doom's henchman and Conan broke it, proving Thulsa's point on The Riddle of Steel. And Valeria actress Sandahl Bergman was a broadway actress and dancer as well. Appeared in "All that Jazz" about Broadway producer Ray Fosse and more importantly as a muse in the movie Musical Xanadu with Olivia Newton-John wearing a tattered skirt and roller skating half the movie.
I loved Valeria’s (Bergman) death scene; “Let me breathe my last breath into your mouth.” Only a mythical warrior would have a woman say that as she lay dying.
Conan, and the other slaves, were slaves. They weren't being trained. All of them died pushing the wheel. Conan loved. Then, he was sold to the redhead guy to be fodder in a fight. But, Conan won. And, he kept winning. Well, the guy stumbled upon a natural born warrior. So, he was trained, educated, and bred out to women. Like gladiators, a slave in this world could earn his freedom. This movie is great. The gore. The blood. The simplicity. And, the music is epic.
The sword he finds in the cave-tomb is called 'The Atlantean Sword'. It is possible the skelleton is that of Kull the Conquorer, one of Conans forbearers.
Conan the Barbarian - 1982 Conan the Destroyer - 1984 Red Sonja - 1985 These were the Go to action, fantasy movies and a little horror I 💖when I was a kid, the books & comics were 😎🤪🤯they were my Harry Potter/GOT/LOTR. There was going to be a third Conan the Conqueror... in 2019 Arnold Schwarzenegger said he's still desperate to make the 3rd film CTC but it's being held up due to complications over rights... Sigh... looks like we're Not going to see this anytime soon, there wild talks of a tv series like GOT in the works, like even...again sigh, if Netflix or Prime takes this puts Arnold as the King, and a young Conan for newer updated yet hold true to the story, I'd see that.
It was written by John Millius, A conservative possibly a Republican. He liked guns, surfing, and the military. He wrote Apocalypse Now. This story breaks down to a Rich Liberal who's daughter joined a hippie cult, and hires a Merc to retrieve his daughter.🤣 I don't lie. Subotai is Gerry Lopez. The most badass surfer. They call a Mr. Pipeline from Hawaii. Remember there was surfing in Apocalypse Now.
The Archer Subotai is Gerry Lopez, a Hawaiian big wave surfer aka Mr. Pipeline. We're talking Yoda of tuberider. John Millius the director was a huge surfer and knew Gerry.
This is the best fantasy/comic book movie of its time. Many such movies were made and didn’t come off as well as this one. I think Arnold brings something to all his movies that people love. It was done in s perfect environment for the story. The props and special effects were done with real people and real materials because no one had CGI abilities back then. I think that’s what makes it so good. You just can’t beat the real thing. Plus Arnold was perfection at the time he had 6 Mr. Olympia wins so he was jacked. They used a lot of his body builder friends too. When someone is that strong looking it’s more believable that they can fight and do incredible things. One thing a lot of people don’t know is that Arnold’s buddy Schwa was in ALL of his movies in small supporting roles. Once you notice him, you will spot him in all Arnold’s movies He didn’t know any English at all so Arnold had to explain everything and never had more than a few lines but he was always there. I spelled his name wrong it’s Sven-Ole
@14:26 the guy on the far left, with no shirt and no jacket, also played the gladiator Tigris of Gaul in the movie Gladiator. He was the undefeated one who fought against Russell Crowe when they had the tigers in the arena.
Music score is exceptional for this movie! Arnold has never been a great actor, but he somehow gets the job done. He was perfect for the role of Conan. Another thing that set this movie apart from others is it was R rated, so many movies are, at best PG-13 and toned down so that they can get the early teen movie dollars. This movie was not afraid to have nudity or graphic bloody violence.
Not a "great" actor, but certainly a capable one. He's legitimately good in *True Lies.* He's honestly at his best when he stretches himself beyond the action hero schtick and plays his characters more offbeat and goofy.
a visual masterpiece. the second movie, unfortunately falls into the category of cheap sequels. by the way, they made a new conan, with jason momoa. total failure. after the first 15 minutes, i put it on speed frame.Then I just stopped it. some things are just unbearable. (like Disney's new star wars, for example).
In the DVD comment track, I think it is the director, who describes the scene where Conan is dressed as the priest, that he "walks like an ostriche farmer", that is to say, he doesn't exactly blend in.
The wheel of pain was a mill to ground wheat into flour. Usually its done with Oxen, or near running water a water wheel, or in belgium its wind mills.
Movie shows a great contrast, from what people call men now, compared to what they used to be. There men never gave apologies for being men, and woman never dismissed that either. Modern values have no value at all.
The tomb Consn found where he got the sword was the burial chamber of an Atlantesn King ... It had been there for a looo g time as the sword was encased in minerals like a stalagmite which Consn had to break off to expose the sword beneath.
Everybody should have, and be, a friend like Subotai: Afriend who fights alongside you, who rescues you from certaind death and who cries your sorrows.
I’m glad you guys didn’t get thrown off or make fun of the “campy”ness or by Arnold. Everyone seems to not get past that, the movie is a whole lot more than that. It’s my all time favorite movie! Glad you guys enjoyed it
It's a nearly perfect film, and epic adventure with many side adventures, with excellent performances by a host of actors, brilliant action scenes, extremely creative, and amazing musical score. Among the best films ever made. If you like this check out the Beastmaster made the year before. It's less well known but just as good for different reasons.
The way Conan should be, R rated & practically swimming in blood. The Tomb scene is the one I always wonder about. Was that or was that NOT the tomb of king Kull (AKA Kull the Conqueror)? At the time this flick was made Marvel owned the rights to both Conan & Kull. They implied very heavily in the comics & SSoC magazine that Kull was Conans ancestor. So if it was Kulls tomb, it makes it poetic the Conan would use Kulls sword to kill Thulsa Doom, doing what his ancestor was unable to. In the lore Thulsa Doom is Kulls foe, not Conans (Thoth Amon is Conans). On the DVD/Blu ray of that scene it's called "the Atlanteans Kings Tomb" or some such. Conan was wise to pray indirectly to Crom. In the lore Crom takes a dim view of those who pray directly to him. His thinking goes like something like this, "I gave you what you needed to survive & thrive when you were born." Asking for "more" afterward, even if only temporary, is greedy in Croms eyes. Annoy him enough, he might actually curse you rather then hearing your plea. As for the riddle of steel, we never knew Conans take on it. I guess that was left for us, as the audience, to decide.
Thulsa Doom was played by James Earl Jones, the same guy who voiced Dart Vader and played the king in Coming To America. I would be more surprised, if his face wasn't familiar.
That wheel at the beginning wasn't a "training thing" it was a Grain Mill, it happened to keep him super fit and strong so his master and owner uses him for fights and after making his master rich he let him go.
Yeah, now watch it's cinematic Clint Howard, 'The Beastmaster'. Featuring the single greatest Hollywood name ever...RIP TORN. Who later reprised his role in 'Men in Black'. Zed.
Arnold was too roidy to be Conan, wrong accent too. Conan was described as being more panther like, Arnold was more like a roid filled ligger. In the books Conan was never a slave
Arnold was cast based on Frank Frazetta's artwork, where Conan was a massive, larger-than-life figure. The casting had a purpose based on what came before.

Best R Rated Comic Book Film of All Time. If you don't agree, "Than The Hell With You!" 🗡️
Lol😂😂😂😂😂😂
@Zoomer Stasi actually it is a comic book. In the early 1930s, when Conan was created, they were just stories. In the 70s it went into graphic novel/comic book form also. In early 80s it became a movie. So, by the time it was a film it had been an established comic book.
@Zoomer Stasi Crom laughs at your comment, he laughs from his mountain
How about Solomon Kane ?
"Then"
Dumbass.
You guys are a bit off on the details. The big machine they chained young Conan was a mill where the slaves turned a giant millstone to grind grain. Then when Conan got bigger the master of the mill sold him to the red haired guy who then threw Conan into the gladiator fights with no training at all. But Conan still managed to keep winning.

She made a promise to Conan and returned as a Valkyrie to give him a chance.
James Earl Jones is everyone's father. 🤣
Valeria was the OG ride or die girlfriend. She returned from Valhalla to help Conan, just as she promised.
And Crom answered Conan's prayer allowing Valeria to return and aid Conan. Crom made her a Valkyrie.
To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.
My personal favorite movie and arguably one of the greatest musical scores of all time...
That is good.
I can't think of another film soundtrack that so perfectly captures the emotional tone of each individual scene. If 'The Gift of Fury' doesn't move your soul, then you probably don't have one.
great music, used to listen it while going to sleep.
Best Sound Track to any movie in History. DGAF who argues different.
Basil Polidouris (corrected) created a genius and operatic score that made the movie sound just epic. That beginning scene, the Orgy, and the battle of the Mounds are phenomenal for that time.
Polidouris not Poliduras. It's Greek
@@georgekoul No shit his name is Greek. I will make sure I double check the spelling next time to appease Giorgos.
I take offense at the “for that time”. It’s phenomenal forever and all times to come.
Did you notice that he was being chased by dogs in the beginning and then got to the cave where he got a sword... The next scene he's wearing furs over his shoulders.. dog furs!
Thulsa Doom was wrong.
Steel rusts, flesh rots but *the will* is eternal!
Conan defeats Thulsa Doom because his will is so strong.
Yes, and that's why we saw the quote at the beginning of the movie: That which does not kill you makes you stronger.
Will is stronger than the gods, stronger than steel, and stronger than flesh.
The man who tries to sell black lotus to Conan was Ron Cobb. One of the greatest fantasy and sci fi concept artists and illustrators of all time.
So Oliver Stone wrote the original screenplay, but it was way different, and going to be super expensive. John Milius, the director, did the Dirty Harry movies.
And I found out yesterday the condor that Conan bit and killed on the Tree of Woe wasn't just a prop. It was apparently a dead Condor, and Schwarzenegger had to rinse his mouth out right after to prevent him from getting any disease.

Conan is older and better than LOTR. Convert to Crom 🗡️
To hell with Crom! 😁
Before Xena (Warrior Princess)
Before Sarah Connor (T2)
Before Ripley (Aliens)
There was Valeria 🗡️
She was also Spangle in Hell Comes To Frog Town!
Valeria was definitely "ride or die".
I loved Valeria’s (Bergman) death scene; “Let me breathe my last breath into your mouth.”
Only a mythical warrior would have a woman say that as she lay dying.

That sword is sick; but the soundtrack is sicker.
The sword he finds in the cave-tomb is called 'The Atlantean Sword'. It is possible the skelleton is that of Kull the Conquorer, one of Conans forbearers.

We live in a time when young males have never watched an Arnold movie. 😥 I’m happy you all watched this. Your souls needed it
This film has the best soundtrack

That thing the kids are pushing is called "The Wheel Of Pain". It's used to grind solid food into meal.
Ooh I’m excited to see this. Not enough reactors watch it.
Agree!

Dad took me to see this opening week at the Midway United Artists in Forest Hills, Queens, NY.

And the legend of Schwarzenegger began, but that is another story. You obviously never heard it so… there you go 😂
Thulsa Doom was played by James Earl Jones, the same guy who voiced Dart Vader and played the king in Coming To America. I would be more surprised, if his face wasn't familiar.
That wheel at the beginning wasn't a "training thing" it was a Grain Mill, it happened to keep him super fit and strong so his master and owner uses him for fights and after making his master rich he let him go.
The thing he was chained to was a grain mill.
CROM LAUGHS AT YOUR REACTION!
FYI they did actually kill a horse in that booby trap scene. Its one of the films controversies.
Subitai is the best side kick
Thulsa Doom has the epic lines. I still use them even after all this time.
The woman who fell from the cliff when Thulsa Doom coaxed her to set a record at the time for longest stunt fall. You can look it up.
Friedrich Nietzsche for beginers. Amazing movie, so much more than just a swords and sandles flick.
Everybody is always surprised the temple burned....yall eo realize he probably dumped oil or sometging similar in the temple before he aet ot on fire.
The sword he found was from another king maybe his god
Actually it's a Atlantean General... and he's a *GIANT.*
Good ups.
So will you dudes be checking out "Conan the Destroyer"?
That wizard is darth Vader.
Dude. This was my movie when I was a kid!
Darth Vader boys lol !
You guys haven't checked any 80's movies? "The Terminator" "Commando" and "Robocop" for a start
Yeah, now watch it's cinematic Clint Howard, 'The Beastmaster'.
Featuring the single greatest Hollywood name ever...RIP TORN.
Who later reprised his role in 'Men in Black'.
Zed.
If you liked Arnold in this, then may I recommend you guys check out The Terminator (1984)?
Everything is better narrated by Uncle Iroh.
You took a lot of notes i see??????????????????
Arnold was too roidy to be Conan, wrong accent too. Conan was described as being more panther like, Arnold was more like a roid filled ligger. In the books Conan was never a slave
Arnold was cast based on Frank Frazetta's artwork, where Conan was a massive, larger-than-life figure. The casting had a purpose based on what came before.
The Terminator" "Commando" "Robocop" Robocop 2 Predator Total Recall Lethal Weapon Cobra
Darth Vader James
Can y’all watch the vampire diaries next? I would appreciate that! ;) please
Like listening to 80s valley girls!
Ripped it to pieces! Why even do it?
Conan is legit awesome. But not as awesome as Times6ix.
