I love how Conan the Barbarian manages to be an awesome fantasy action movie while deviating from the original story. This Conan is more like Kull in terms of his backstory, yet he's still able to be respectful of the vision of Robert E. Howard.
Watching this as an adult, I realize how much this movie is pure D&D. We have a barbarian, a rogue archer, and a fighter breaking breaking into the evil fortress because a king sent them on a quest to rescue his daughter from an evil wizard. Tell me that's not D&D
Out of the leaves and onto the glade, there appeared a man. He was nearly a giant in stature and his chest, trunk, shoulders, arms, thighs and legs rippled with muscles as heavily corded as steel cables. He was naked but for a silk loin cloth wrapped around his loins. In his right hand he held an enormous steel sword and in his left a hatchet of burnished copper. A bloody linen cloth was knotted around his wounded left knee. His sandaled feet never made a sound as he slid along the grassy knoll like a supple panther for all his bulk. Volcanic blue eyes blazed through a shock of straight black hair and his grinning white teeth smiled out from a scarred face. - The Treasure of Tranicos (1934) Robert E. Howard (1906-1936).
LOVE this scene...Subotai n Alera knew Conan so well that their convo was really a way to aim direction at Conan...cause they knew him well enough to know it would have gone left of they tried preaching to him.
The film lives less from acting and more from images and music. And the fact that Arnold's acting sometimes seems a bit wooden is because he was still very inexperienced as an actor at the time. But he became friends with James Earl Jones, who plays Thulsa Doom, and he gave Arnold lessons to improve his acting, which is very noticeable in later films. In return, Arnold helped Jones train his body.

@1:06 this is a very brief, but very telling scene. The shaman knew what was really up. He didn't know the specifics, but he knew Conan was about to start some shit. "It is I, his chronicler, *who alone* can tell you of his saga" (from the prologue)
Truly regettable Arnold did NOT make 3rd series. I know Preditor was good but he and produsoer still could have made. In fact, Arnond is still and still can do most of acting, NOT like ready to die actors just show up and barely moving so easy stuffs, but all the moving stunds are done by youngster like Lee Van Cliff, Joey McCresa sat in a hours, just sold film, but he did not anything except showing his body sat in horse, I guess he could not even walk!
I under stand why people have wanted to sacrifice me. What I want to understand now, is what would I gain by making a sacrifice to "Set"? Would it make me, "Stronger"? or Stranger? hahahahahhahaha
After seeing this grue some evil human cannabalism, those soliders of evil's neck chopped does NOT bother one bit! This is type old fassion spine chilling move, NOT dam computer animated bul crap!
In Conan's lore, he is the ancient snake god who ruled on earth millions of years before the rise of mankind. He is also the same snake god into lovecraft lore called "Yig"
1:51 okay who watched the horses while they three were infiltrating the cave? Horses might just wander off if left unattended.. yikes who are those people hanging at 3:36? Oh, those are the sacrificial victims that ended up in the soup. This evil lair has the worst security ever.
72nd comment! Hey Chaos Kids, welcome to 5th Wave Chaos Magic which began yesterday on the Hunter's Moon as revealed by to certain Bhagavan after having a vision of Oxossi in regard to some SERIOUS NATIVE JUSTICE! Grab yourself a pentagram token and perform the mantra "Om Kreem Kali" 5 times for an interesting magic trick! 🎩

Your right, it is.
It's amazing how many scenes in this film look like Frazetta's paintings of Conan.
The Best Conan the barbarian of All.
0:43 Conan's like, "I'm not making any promises."
LOL
Why should Conan make any promises?
Thulsa Doom killed his people, took his father's sword, and had him taken away to be a slave when he was a child.
Those drums leading to raid are so ominous 😳
They are so captive.

Moon knight brought me back here.
Moon Knight would have rescued the princess, made love to the women, killed Thulsa doom, and ate all the human soup!
@@davestuddaman8127 Man can you imagine Hyborian Moon Knight ?
@@davestuddaman8127 I just realised Stan Lee's Yahweh, You wont hear that often.
Probably as surprized as when Daredevil met The Magdalena.
Absolutely agree lol they’re like it’s ok bro we’re just gonna chill on that idea for tonight.. that cool?
Are those soldier’s carrying the cauldron, singing and dancing at the same time ?!?! 😂
No. But may as well be.
Lol
Reminds me of when the Scarecrow, Tin Man and Lion snuck into the palace 😂
I like to think that every one of them are singing it.
On nights when Thulsa Doom wishes it, they do a stirring rendition of "Moskau" by Dschinghis Khan.
I will never tire of the music in this scene. Conan was an underrated movie, it's actually really good.
Imagine breaking into someone’s home and they’re having a party just chilling with this Illuminati music playing lol
I don't believe the homeowner would be thrilled about that happening, sir🤣👌
@@michaelvaughn8864I don't think that they'd be happy with anyone knowing lol
@@Oi325 Not at all, sir🤣👍hehe. Thulsa Doom surely wasn't
@@Edred_Thorgrimdrimnir Can't say I blame him, sir🤣💯👍
I mean they should be ashamed that 3 theives slaughtered like 18 plus and took on your main hitters like it was nothing.
This music kicks ass 😍

That was one wicked pang of nostalgia just hit me.
Conan and Valeria deserve to have a future together
The Temple of Set 🐍🐍scenes were like a gallery of Frazetta paintings🐯 come to life. ⚔🛡
Never noticed they were cutting up people to eat in there
Me neither. Yuck
Just like the white house kitchen
I know, it looked delicious. Long Pork Stew on the menu tonight!
Soylent Green soup is made from people!
Its all a part of demon worship. Doom and his follwers. Human flesh in the kitchen
You have to admit that Thulsa knew how to party!
He's sort of a prehistoric Rick James.
Which proved to be his undoing in the end.
He got way too soft, lost the edge.
Conan, on the other hand, kept his edge sharp.
Always loved the kitchen soundtrack.
That’s my song right there!
We need to put this on the next time we grill hamburgers.
@@FishKepr omg yes!
My favorite in the movie
"Pumpkin pie, frozen lair, blue asbestos in my hair....
Ohhhhh.....woahhhh.....ohhhhhh....it's smelly I just farted....."
My friends one of the best Conan it was the black and white comic in the 80' is if I remember. Greetings from Greece 🇬🇷
Terrific acting by Arnold.

Fun fact this music played was actual record Arnold listened to as a child
This isn't the Temple of Set raid it's the Mountain of Power raid.
Thulsa Doom’s lair
I always called it "Orgy Interrupted" myself.
FACKING quality scene, best bit of this classic .
Those are people theyre cuting up for food in the kitchen..thats fucked up.
Happens to this very day

I think that silent pause is Conan's way of saying "Thank you for bringing me back from the dead."

Someone call HIDEO KOJIMA & tell him to make a video game of this shit!!!
Tryin ta watch Conan in clips
Damn, Sandahl Bergman was hot.
She was a BABE in the 80's. I always wondered why Arnold didnt marry her. They would have made a great Nordic looking couple.
@Hans. She was a peasant.
Great scene
The title of this video should read Mountain of Power, not Temple of Set.
My favorite movie 🤘🏼🤘🏼
"Dinner for wolves"

The entrance was unguarded
They crawled in through a vent in the kitchen.
@@randypeppercorn1865 ah. Thanks.. I hadn't noticed
"Follow that soup."
Nice Black Metal band
Frank Reynolds sweatshop style soup
I´m allways mixing up this theme with Ravell´s Bolero or the Goldhire inn theme 😂😅 All 3 are classics in their own way to me ;)
Is the cavern a set or a real thing
Track ID at the face painting scene?
When I watched this show originally I kept wondering why they named the bad guy after a city in Oklahoma! Ha ha
He's got a brother: Muskogee Doom
What is the point of the body paint… except for looking bad-ass? 😅
Damn, that's a kitchen of horrors. I bet Jeffrey Dahmer and Hannibal Lecter would've loved that kitchen though!
The Temple of Set needed better security.
Super
Is Set a God?
God of life and death iirc. Often represented by a two-headed snake.
In Egyptian lore, yes.
In Conan's lore, he is the ancient snake god who ruled on earth millions of years before the rise of mankind. He is also the same snake god into lovecraft lore called "Yig"

Poor innocent victims into their soup or stew

2:13 Cheeky!
The Temple of Set has nothing to do with this movie.
The human bodies in the kitchen and body part soup 🤮
Arnold
1:56 Why have the sword over the fire?
Soot for the black body paint.
to prevent the blade from shining in the dark - in case it is unsheathed, right before action
hmm
