It has to be said, not only is this probably one of Arnie's Best roles, it's probably the best portrayal of Conan ever! (If you disagree, then to Hell with you!)
And to think, that Arnold didn't even know anything about the character, he says in interviews later, that he just quickly read up on the character and rest is history. We all got an awesome fantasy hero.
Arnie greatest roles were a barbarian and robot=given his limited acting skills best casting choices for him yet he made those roles his own, indeed it is the best portrayal of Conan ever=and kudos to the unholy alliance of John Milius and Oliver Stone that brought this movie to life. Although I agree with you, still to h e double hockey sticks with you!
Not enough credit is given to Subotai the archer. He didn't have to stay & fight alongside Conan but he did anyway and at great risk to himself. True friend. Great warrior. Nice hat.
@@drhkleinert8241 There is Valeria in RE Howard's stories, also a pirate captain like Belit. But yes, this particular scene, with her returning from the dead for a brief moment to strike Conan's enemy while he was down was indeed Belit's moment.
Constant music and every last second of it is superb. Watching the movie felt like I was watching opera, except that instead of singing about what they were going to do, the protagonists just went ahead and did it. I don't know any other movie where the soundtrack plays such a pivotal role.
The greatest epic movie of all times! The story the great soundtrack the heavy steel and horses sound effects the brutality the costumes the old fashioned production all together make this a masterpiece.
For those that are too young to have seen this on the big screen, remember this movie came out 42 years ago. Now imagine seeing it for the 1st time 42 years ago. 42 years ago, these movies were on the big screen: Fast Times at Ridgemont High The Thing Blade Runner ET Poltergeist Conan the Barbarian Rambo - First Blood Tron Rocky III Star Trek II The Wrath of Khan 48 Hrs Literally a block buster every month. Most of them have stood the test of time. Miss those days.
Considering how dumb and weak Doom's soldiers were Conan never really needed to make any prays to Crom. They have won by 0 to 20 or similar in three minutes or so.
There are 2 dudes squaring against like a dozen and is still more epic than the Long Night in Game of Thrones. This is what happens when we have good direction, magnificent score, top writing and overall a clear idea of what the hero's journey and goal are.
5:31 The most underrated scene in movie history, For those who don't see it Over here Conan obviously is saved by Valeria Which of course is a powerful enough moment... However the genius that the director was, explaining that he wants Conan to allow the enemy to fully recover in other words giving him a 50-50 chance now to win rather than eliminating him while he's blinded. That wouldn't be honourable as much as conan hated him It's as if he wanted it to be a fair fight, amazing acting here by the bad guy as well who really wasn't an experienced actor, Almost looking surprised that he wasn't just killed while blinded just amazing directing and amazing composing, Which made this movie into an epic It's a shame today There has been a big shift in these sort of films... For example gladiator 2 doesn't have Hanz Zimmer composing why? Because it will sell anyway and the current audience can't seem differentiate from a battle scene to a battle scene that is done like this... With the correct music and directing Which is the very reason these scenes are legendary.
Classic humor part when the sorcerer gets his first melee kill (we assume) - "I did it... with my spear!" Bit of shock there as he absorbs the XP boost and levels up.
This is one of the , if not THE, best protrayal of a barbarian in movies. When you see barbarians in comics and games, this is what a barbarian character is.
It's a shame that the two 80's Conan films are largely forgotten. They're terrific - they look great, have wonderful music scores, Arnie is on top form, they are two of the best sword-and-sorcery movies ever. I love 'em! If you like these you'll like Red Sonja too.
Conan the Destroyer was kind of corny in a way and Red Sonja was even cornier. However, I enjoyed them both. With Red Sonja Arnie was just a side character. The main characters were Bridgette Nielsen's and Sandahl Bergman's characters.
@@richardthomas5362 Yeah, they are corny. They don;t pretend to be anything other than what they are. But they are visually very good, have great music, lots of good action, Arnie gets Conan just right. In fact the whole cast is pretty good. As you say, he's a secondary character in Red Sonja, but it's still a great sword and sorcery flic.
@@richardgregory3684 "great sword and sorcery flic." Agreed. My biggest complaint with Red Sonja was actually not the movie but the DVD cover, which had a huge picture of Arnie as if he was the main character while minimizing Bridgette's character.
I was watching this once. A friend randomly showed up unannounced. He looked at the screen, looked at me, then looked at the screen again. Then just sighed and sat down.
I appreciate all the stunts each time I watch this. Is it flawless? No, but its way more believable than modern cinema with all the CGI and pansy choreography. Conan looks heavy, and fights heavy and it looks fantastic!
Considering the low budget and numbers, the scene is great depicting small scale combat using hit and ruin tactics in an enclosed defensive area like Stonehenge maybe that was the allegory..
Basil Poledouris has made some of the greatest soundtracks. Conan the Barbarian/Destroyer, Robocop, Starship Troopers are some of my favourites of all time. Truly a legend that stands the test of time.
Great soundtrack, Great costumes and great actors what more do we want. Anold will never be in the conversation for best actor but tell me what movie of him you dont like ? they are so few, hes one of my favorite actors.
What a film! If you are familiar with Robert E. Howard's Conan short stories, then you would know this is not entirely faithful to the original character, but this is still terrific cinema and an homage to the legacy of those sword & sorcery epics. Thulsa Doom was actually the enemy of Kull of Atlantis, one of Howard's other creations, and Veleria based on the character from the Conan story "Red Nails" and on Belit, a pirate queen from "Queen of the Black Coast." One has to acknowledge the tremendous depiction on the screen, however; Arnold was simply born to play this part and is as much a physical force as the Conan that leapt off the page, often described as a powerful panther like presence with the sinews no civilized man could match. Basil Poledouris made his single best score - I heard it played frequently at a big popular gym in Fort Worth catering to serious weight lifters, body builders, and athletes and I can tell you the combination of heavy metal being moved in 100 degree Texas heat while that score is pounding out of the speakers is plenty of motivation. I am a little sad Arnold never got the opportunity to reprise this role for a third time (I hear the script for "King Conan" got shopped around but never quite landed), but Conan the Barbarian is still one for the ages.
Agreed! It's actually great how Milius balanced between homaging Howard AND making deviations from the way the character is fleshed out in the stories. Conan was never given a brooding backstory related to trauma and revenge in the books, and I know there are some Howard's fans who do not like this being present in the movie but I think it's good Milius tried to do his own thing. There are plenty of great homages like the one you mentioned, plus the vulture scene, and the flash-forward to King Conan of Aquilonia. Not to mention that overall the production design of Ron Cobb perfectly captures the feeling of the Hyborian age.
But in fact yes, Belit came back when Conan was defeated and near death but she was a complete other woman (Pirate Queen in Africa). Valeria is another Woman in the Story and not that tough like THIS Valeria.
I had never counted it up before, but Conans friend the Archer killed most of the men. He killed at least 10 men if not more, although Conan killed the two most skilled warriors.
Conan kills between 10 to 12 men (it's unclear,) including (as you stated) the 2 best fighters. Subotai is a legit bro though, and shows the effect an archer with distance and the ability to fall back, has on a battle.
I don't hear nearly enough people talking about how incredibly awesome it is to finish a prayer with "...and if you don't get me what I want, then F U!" I don't know Crom, but I'm sure he and conan are on the level here
Crom is the god of the Cimmerians ( Conan's tribe), the god of mountains, rock & metal. In the original books, it is stated that he gave the Cimmerians the gifts of willpower & the knowledge to forge steel. He also told them to never pray to him ( he actually hates that ) or build shrines/temples to his honor, instead he wants them to perform ''deeds of courage'' if they want to please him. Like Conan, taking on a powerful sorcerer and his army with only 2 guys, that pleases Crom and he will overlook the fact that you prayed & trashtalked on him at the same time.
Yes, Sven-Ole Thorsen. He's a friend of Arnold from his bodybuilder days & stuntman, appeared in pretty much all of Arnold's movies and many other big productions like the original Gladiator. He's retired now.
In the comics, Conan is friends with Dr Doom. He throws roasts at Doom anyone else would be killed for, but Doom does nothing because he's impressed with the absolute amount of DGAF energy Conan has. Conan just says it as he sees it and hurt feelings ain't his problem
My grandpa that was a hard worker part of Korean war when it ended and went to Japan to restore peace in 50s! He took my mom uncle's and his wife my grandma to see this movie Conan! And he always told me before Arnold Schwarzenegger became the Terminator, he was first as Conan, Zeus in New York, and then the Terminator! Which is why I loved my grandpa so much and this movie very much!
Restore peace in Japan in the 50's? To my knowledge, there were no conflicts in Japan in the 50's. Perhaps you meant that your Grandpa fought in WW2 in Japan and the later went to fight in the Korean War in the 50's? I am not brining this up for anything other than concern; I see so many young people being neglected and in my opinion abused by the public education system. Teaching the fundamental basics, such as history, has been cast aside for the sake of brainwashing and leftist indoctrination. I do hope you understand my meaning and take this in kind.
Ive never seen conan the barbarian before so im completely blown away by how much this must have inspired anakins lightsaber choreography. The similarity is uncanny
Everyone knows that a moblie transport, whilst an incredible help on the open plains becomes a great adversary in confined spaces. Simple principle. If those men had been on foot, the same success would not have happened. Even better, the movie makers knew this and played it out logically. Fantastic stuff.
Conan! Maximus Fights In The Coloseum | Gladiator, we are born to fight and to survive Best of luck to you a great warrior that you are!!! And a leader!
5:35 This rescue happens in a Conan story where he's taking on a creature that's basically a crossover of The Hills Have Eyes mutants and The Predator. OG Conan fought aliens every now and then.
Eu sou brasileiro 🤗🤗🤗 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷, mas sei reconhecer uma sequência Antológica do Verdadeiro Cinema 🎞 📽 🎬 e pra mim essa Sequência da Valéria aparecendo com uma armadura prateada em uma visão Gloriosa de uma Valquíria e salvando a vida de Conan e lhe dizendo; "Quer viver para sempre" é Magnífica 😳😳😳 👏👏👏
Time Stamp 05:15 - 05:30, somehow I always picture Valeria smiling and laughing as she asks: “Do you want to live FOREVER Cimmerian?” EDIT: I’m sure Valeria could cook & hunt. We know for a fact that she could more than hold her own in a fight. Conan never had to look anywhere else for someone else. That is a Woman!
Thulsa and his men lack even the most rudimentary sense of tactics or how to use the geography or weapons- charging in headlong on horseback against a few men with a bit of cover and prep time, instead of dismounting, moving in slow, using their eyes, or for that matter using archery or fire, to winkle so few men out of such a weak defensive position with no real walls and many points of entry. The position and the defenders small number could have been an advantage to Doom, but he handled it in such a way as to make them advantages to the defense. Still epic though, every bit as much fun as 40 years ago.
Yeah, because they weren't a real army. They were a pack of snake cultists and goons. Conan and Subatai were extensively trained in military tactics. That last fight was a nice touch on that. For most of the fight Conan was just chopping away. In the last fight, he showed that he was truly a master swordsman and not just a strong brute. It always got me to see Asian sword styles being used by a monster with a big bastard sword
It has to be said, not only is this probably one of Arnie's Best roles, it's probably the best portrayal of Conan ever! (If you disagree, then to Hell with you!)
This movie is 100% the most in line with Robert E Howard's Conan.
And to think, that Arnold didn't even know anything about the character, he says in interviews later, that he just quickly read up on the character and rest is history. We all got an awesome fantasy hero.
Hastala Vista, Baby !
Arnie greatest roles were a barbarian and robot=given his limited acting skills best casting choices for him yet he made those roles his own, indeed it is the best portrayal of Conan ever=and kudos to the unholy alliance of John Milius and Oliver Stone that brought this movie to life.

@@MrRaulstrnad yeah definately conan and the terminator his best role and best acts
And this is why 80s movies were fucking awesome.

Conan's prayer at the beginning and "do you want to live forever?" - those two moments never fail to send chills down my spine.
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." Valeria ...
Not enough credit is given to Subotai the archer. He didn't have to stay & fight alongside Conan but he did anyway and at great risk to himself.
True friend. Great warrior. Nice hat.
and went to look for him when he was crucified

In Howard's stories, Conan does befriend a lot of fellow warriors. He leads a whole pirate crew for a while.
Subotai is Mongolian name

Valeria coming back to save him is just awesome. Brings tears to your eyes. She's alright now, in Valhalla, and still loves him...
Still looking for my ride or die girl 42 years after seeing this as a kid.
The original Valeria is R E Howards Belit, the Queen of the black coast who attacks Conans opponent in that moment he is defeated and good as dead,
@@drhkleinert8241 There is Valeria in RE Howard's stories, also a pirate captain like Belit. But yes, this particular scene, with her returning from the dead for a brief moment to strike Conan's enemy while he was down was indeed Belit's moment.
I BET that is not only Valeria,But Crom HELPING Valeria HELP Conan get his revenge!
The Basil Poledouris soundtrack is a masterpiece.
The remake was a let down. The 80's remake 's FAIL, Name one?
with Crom, it is!
Constant music and every last second of it is superb. Watching the movie felt like I was watching opera, except that instead of singing about what they were going to do, the protagonists just went ahead and did it.

RIP JEJ

battle scenes absolutely stand up to the test of time ! beautiful
Barely speaks for the entire movie, and then drops the most macho prayer to a god ever heard on film. Great film.
Im pretty sure Crom smirked at Conans insult at the end of his prayer and conceded his wish
Considering how dumb and weak Doom's soldiers were Conan never really needed to make any prays to Crom. They have won by 0 to 20 or similar in three minutes or so.
I'm sorry but I don't think Crom can answer prayers. You're going to have to look to who Muslims and Jews worship to have your prayers answered :)

The best! Great action scenes with real stunts without digital effects. And Arnold Bandass...
The horses need praise for some serious stunt work in this epic scene! They get thrown around all over and get right back up!
Some got jacked up for sure.

This music is up their with John Williams’ and Morricone’s best work.
Exceeds it imo, this is my single favorite film score of all time

I am a little sad Arnold never got the opportunity to reprise this role for a third time (I hear the script for "King Conan" got shopped around but never quite landed), but Conan the Barbarian is still one for the ages.

EDIT: I’m sure Valeria could cook & hunt. We know for a fact that she could more than hold her own in a fight. Conan never had to look anywhere else for someone else. That is a Woman!
Yep just let be us men do our stuff and women do there stuff 🙂going to watch Miami vice after this 🙂
0:35
Crom: sh1t boi, you lucky i like you...
The ONLY thing I think would have improved the clip would be extending it just a few more seconds to include Conan's salute to Valeria.
I think Crum heard him!!!
4:35 I heard his scream in a video game called Golden Axe 2
05:00 the best scene ever!!!
Such an underrated movie and an even more underrated soundtrack. I'd put it up there with Star Wars as a soundtrack.
The guy with the bow and arrow is my favorite😊👍
Jerry Lopez. He was a famous big wave surfer at the time.
Beautiful
This is not Doom's army,this is Doom's platoon.
better than rings of the power tv series for sure
Welll doooone my fan ❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉wiiiiiiuuuuu
My favorite part is the big guy with the hammer being impaled, then Conan gazing at him while the other big baddie comes charging at him,
Praying to Crom is to invite wrath and misfortune. Who's wrath and misfortune is up to Crom.
Il a grave la fois🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤
Thulsa and his men lack even the most rudimentary sense of tactics or how to use the geography or weapons- charging in headlong on horseback against a few men with a bit of cover and prep time, instead of dismounting, moving in slow, using their eyes, or for that matter using archery or fire, to winkle so few men out of such a weak defensive position with no real walls and many points of entry. The position and the defenders small number could have been an advantage to Doom, but he handled it in such a way as to make them advantages to the defense.
Still epic though, every bit as much fun as 40 years ago.
Yeah, because they weren't a real army. They were a pack of snake cultists and goons. Conan and Subatai were extensively trained in military tactics. That last fight was a nice touch on that. For most of the fight Conan was just chopping away. In the last fight, he showed that he was truly a master swordsman and not just a strong brute. It always got me to see Asian sword styles being used by a monster with a big bastard sword
I they make a new movie about Conan they have to put basil’s soundtrack again, this is the soul of hyborian age
