People slate Arnold for his acting, but here with an awesome director that got the best out of him, he absolutely nailed Conan. One of the very best films.
Can we also acknowledge the scene between conans mum and Thulsa Doom at the start? No one talks for ages yet there's so much emotion communicated non verbally. Honestly this film is a forgotten masterpiece.
@@Emelefpi This. Schwarzenegger was always praised for work on Terminator and later films, but I was really bewildered, watching Conan after decades, how astonishly good he was here. His youngness clumsiness was combined with suprising good potrayal of emotions here and there to ideal (and unrepeatable) mix.
There will never be another fucking film this good. Just the right mixture of old films and 80s testosterone.. A beautiful original score, max von sydow & James earl Jones; two absolute titans of film and acting, Arnold w the vibe and look... just a classic!
Conan ... Means "War Chief" as in (Crazy Horse) it's a British word ! Pre-Christian. Some Kings of Brittany were called Conan. It's more a job title then name.
I like how this is set up, you have 2 pagan barbarians discussing their religions and arguing the differences between their beliefs, and neither one really takes offense at the comparison or denigrates them or says their god is false, just argues comically and hangs around for a while. That's a neat take on Paganism that isn't often shown in movies and things.
Subotai appeared in Robert E. Howard's Cormac Fitzgeoffrey stories, about an Irish prince fighting across the Near East during the Crusades and who is very Conan-like. So does the Eye of Set and the notion that the protagonist carries a specific, rune-covered longsword as a hero weapon (the Conan of REH's stories just used whatever weapons were at hand). The film here is really an amalgam of REH's Conan, his King Kull (who was a slave and gladiator in his youth, which Conan was not) and Cormac. It's not clear in the Cormac stories whether the Subotai who appears there may be a youthful version of the historical general.
Always loved the choice to have them running across these vast wilderness and wastes with hardly any supplies. No hiking, no horseback. Something about it all, in part perhaps for it's absurdity, really impressed upon you the barbarian nature of these characters.
Mutual Respect goes along way, both men have lived hard lives. and they were tired n hungry. I imagine last thing they wanted was to fight. It benefitted each of them to have the other around. safety in numbers. plus Subutai is the black lotus plug.
I love how conan gives Subotai a glare when he loses the "debate"...but lets it drop. Probably assuming that if those 4 winds ever dared land on Crom's mountain, he's show them what's what.
One of the most nostalgic scenes of the movie.. makes you imagine the type of life during the Hyborian Age.. Bring back memories of Youth...30 years ago..
Not a single movie of this generation comes close to the atmosphere of Conana the barbarian. This films did magic. Modern films, do nothing... They attempt to show bigger, larger... But it all feels deflated. A few people talk and walk in Conan, and it feels like a magical realm... The soundtrack, filming and environment, they were all done in manners that held true artistic intent to them. It actually impressed me to see the movies I grew up on as a child... Everything today, feels cheap in comparison.
@@twinkthatloveslotrtrilogy7676 Completely different atmosphere. Lotr is a good trilogy, but with a very different style and tone of adventure, of what they are facing and why. Conan did way more with less, and while both are about an epic adventure, Conan made the journey, characters and differences between people carry way more depth and weight. It's odd to think how Conan had pseudo-barbarian philosophies being shared and discussed in the middle, various gods and that sense of openness. LotR is fairly strict to it's setting... It's certainly is a big world with various races, but they are stuck... Frozen in a way. Conan is way more dynamic in what it does with it's world.
Crom: “What is the Riddle of Steel?” Conan: “You know, I’m not sure.” Crom: “It’s cool. Got any dipping sauce for these popcorn nuggets? I’m a sucker for Finger Lickin’.”
One of my favorite scenes. The quiet contemplation from Conan after being presented a new outlook after his arogance about Crom could not have been better conveyed with words.
@@MrDeathMachine pfft have fun mate, shows how much of a primitive you are for wanting to smack stones together in the tool age. I like exactly where I am right now, a civilised society our ancestors bled to create. But you cling to a fantasy of a “merry” adventure when really your life would be miserable and short either dying from blunt force trauma or disease.
@@MrDeathMachine the hypocrisy of your use of technology to tell me that probably escapes you. Soyboy? I see you also lack originality. You have no idea who I am or what I have done. I have simply pointed out a delusional fantasy you have about a “merry adventure” in a time of brutality. You obviously don’t like it so to preserve your ego you ignore my points and continue to deliver petty insults.
*Laughs in Roman legionnaire* Back then every soldier could carry their own necessities to start a fire and have a meal. If Romans can do it, so can Crom.
@@gregfalco4528 the world of Conan is actually set around 40,000 years before our time basically it’s an alternative history so way before any civilizations we know of
I like how Howard clearly did his research on real ancient societies when creating his fictional world and cultures. It's hard for modern people to understand, since most modern religions claim that they alone are true, but people really did think like this once upon a time. The prevailing idea was that that each culture's pantheon coexisted, and you could prove the supremacy of your gods over someone else's through combat or cultural achievement. Monotheistic religions that denied the existence of other gods were rare.
You know, they call him a barbarian, but yet he can sit there with a comrade of a different faith and neither of them care. That's how men should be. Instead everyone is divided these days.
Okay, I love this movie, but Crom lives in the earth and Subotai's god is the everlasting sky, so why, when Conan prays to Crom before the last battle at the end of the movie, does he look up at the sky? And what does Valhalla have to do with Crom? Odin is the god who presides over Valhalla. Oh well, just had to get that off my mind, still a great movie.

Such an RPG introduction of himself. "I am thief and archer"
Those times if you made pots that was kind of your only identity
Crom laughs at your Daedric princes lol.
And then he calls himself a king. Who else ever called themselves a thief first and then a king??
Stating your class(es) right after you introduce yourself is a matter of decorum.
@@sumanadasawijayapala5372 No, he says he's Hyrkanian, which was Howard's equivalent of the Central Asians, particularly the Mongols.

especially around 2:18 when he acknowledges Subotai's point and doesn't have a retort and looks pretty pissed about it

He also punched a reindeer in Jingle all the way ..
wrong, r e t a rd. james earl jones can't act to save his life, nor can any blacks
"He is the everlasting sky "
I always think of this line on cloudless days when the sky the is the perfect shade of pale blue.
Haha! Crom laughs at your gay clouds.
God is RAD
I always love the world of Conan. Mystical, brutal, adventurous!
The days of HIGH ADVENTURE!!
Conan ... Means "War Chief" as in
(Crazy Horse) it's a British word !
Pre-Christian.
Some Kings of Brittany were called Conan. It's more a job title then name.
The old Irish worshipped Crom. He's a real deity lol silly little English men
One of the best scenes in the movie
Absolutely! Always a great go to.
''Crom laughs at your 4 winds'' is what I say when anyone passes gas around me.
Now I want to hear more farts in public

That's what happens when you have a conservative troll director in Millius. Outstanding results.
@@NaglfarCommando He called himself a Zen Anarchist. His conservative is so out there that some call it left winged.
Because most people take it upon themselves to in force their beliefs rather than accepting others through blind ignorance
Hell, man, that's suggested by the opening question. "What gods do you pray to?" not "Uh... you pray to Crom, right???"
Wish we could all discuss our beliefs with each other like that today, without inciting rage by merely expressing our beliefs and opinions.
I love how subutai was a reference to one of ghengis Khan's generals and the four winds are a reference to tengerism

Yes he is Turkic, mustage style and turkich religion sky god gokturks
Subotai was chained to a rock and forced to listen to Arnie’s sex yells before he was noticed.
Then again, he could have been lying in wait for someone to come by in order to steal their money.
That's what thieves do.
LOL
😂😂😂
Always loved the choice to have them running across these vast wilderness and wastes with hardly any supplies. No hiking, no horseback. Something about it all, in part perhaps for it's absurdity, really impressed upon you the barbarian nature of these characters.

One of the best eccumenical discussions EVER! They have different beliefs, yet they became as brothers, would that the world could be this way.

Conan wasn't going to kill his first real friend in the world, not after saving his life by unchaining him from that rock.
@@spatrick1277 I always thought Subotai was pretending to be starving/chained so that wolves would come and he would kill them for food.
@@Jen-Yueh_Hu He probably was, but to probably relieve people of their money after lulling them into a false sense of security and all that.
Hahaha.
@@Jen-Yueh_Hu I figured the witch lady had captured Subotai and was keeping him for some reason. Maybe planning to sacrifice him or somethin'.
One of the very best movies made. Not perfect, by any means, but a wonderful film to look at.
Great cinematography and an epic soundtrack.
@@douglaswilliams6834 100%!
John Milius was let off the leash for this one.

What about the Northman or Dune 2? I think those both approach the same 80s fantasy vibe
One of the best films ever made.
That moment you realize Basil Poledouris scored the music for most of your favorite movies as a kid.
Subotai is the best sidekick in the history of cinema.
Crom: “What is the Riddle of Steel?”
Conan: “You know, I’m not sure.”

CROM laughs at your internet.
"your four winds can blow me" would have been the best comeback ever
I like how they run from town to town not walk. I can’t think of any other movie with the characters doing that
I guess I’ll have to watch that
Aragorn,Legolas and Gimli did that too
This is proof that they are actually video game player characters. That's why they kill their enemies so easily, they are up against NPCs.
The last age of adventure.
Crom laughed his ass of when you decked that camel, bronan.
If Barbarians 9000 years ago can value diversity of thoughts, maybe we can too.

"Civilization, ancient and wicked." That's what I always say when I'm going in to New York City.
Thanks for the upload. This movie aged great. Better than the 2nd too
2:18 that Arnold's face expression ))
Great rpg.. when times were greater
"Whuuu aaa uuu"....what a guyyy!!!😍😍😍
conan doing some badass cardio
Que hermosa película y que banda sonora!!!
I love this scene.
Just here to say how much I love this score.
He got you there Conan 😂
Real homies😎
Conan books as a young kid were the best. These scenes portray the books well.
Absolute Divine Movie, i miss good old fantasy and 80s and 90s time, there everything feels just lot better, that was true life
4 winds guy sure jumped up after saying he didn't eat/drink for days shackled 🤔
That’s what happens when you ask a real man his NAME
Confused/hurt feelings face at 2:17 = when I try to sneak mashed cauliflower into my daughter's mac&cheese.
I think they get along because they both agree in polytheism. Once monotheism is brought into the mix then you HAVE to fight, there’s no other choice.
02:18 Conan looks upset 🤣
A Barbarian and a Ranger meet. Typical D&D set up :)
I am reminded of this scene when volcano-watchers are repeatedly thwarted by fog.
Subotai is under appreciated. He’s one of the few who one-ups Conan and lives to tell the tale.
That meat looks so delicious!
Sure does.
Wonder where they got the meat from.
@@redpyramid9697 It's actually Kentucky Fried Chicken. I heard that on a commentary video.

Will have to watch this film soon
I always thought this music was inspiring and uplifting!
Quina música tan meravellosa, per CROM!!!
Subotai not exactly eating like he hasn't eaten in days
He's not a bitch, he knows it'll get to his stomach in time. A good thief is a patient thief.

I'm looking for Conan the Barbarian, Part 2, please, the 1984 movie
Conan the Destroyer
I know this was filmed in Spain, but is this supposed to be set along the Silk Road? What city is this supposed to stand-in for?
They were aiming for some new hybrid Bronze Age culture made up of Viking/Mediterranean/Hunnic motifs.
The setting seems mostly central asian, where Europe meets Asia.
It's a mythical time AND place. It's not supposed to resemble any actual locations and the Hyborean age doesn't exist.
This was an amazing time in films …never again will it return
Crom doesn’t care
He laughs from his mountain.
Conan literally took that last remark with stride
crom laughs at your four winds
Great soundtrack.

Both valid observations. Crom has Thor and Odin-like qualities.
They like that running....sure was a long way for a muscle guy
Whooo ARE youuu! 😂😂😂
Dinner for wolf, kfc boneless banquet see that fried skin
Subotai was a ride or die friend
0.17: "You forgot to say please."
There was more tolerance for diversity of beliefs back then thats for sure.
Just saying Subutai probably heard Conan getting it on with the witch
Ty.
The next really religious person I speak with I'm going to claim Crom as my god.
I love how subotai never asked about the crazy demon witch he was making love to even though he was right outside 😂😂😂
The real secret is this. Accepting that we all die alone.
Super
