Conan believes in the God Crom, who approves of an individuals courage and tenacity. People don't really "pray" to Crom, in fact it's said it's better to not draw his attention lest he sent more adversity your way to test your resolve. Crom actually looks down on prayer and people begging his intervention because he views it as an act of the weak. When Conan invokes Crom he basically says "Help me get revenge on those who wronged me, or get the fuck out of my way." Impressing Crom which is why he sends a Valkyrie to save him from a pitiful death at the hands of a lesser foe. Damn this movie is great.

Very dramatic, given the breadth and width of the material at hand. These weird people, of which you speak, might not be completely mythical, when it comes to expressing themselves in a way that goes beyond an absolute wow of silence. Which makes your sentiment somewhat utopian in the desired simplicity. Sator Rotas in a square. Order in the center. Chaos at the edges. We do love our little models of the universe. For they make it much simpler to deal with existence as it is! Alas, reality operate with a higher degree of complexity, making it harder to conform to the dream of absolute Order.

This version has a few bits of added footage from the original release. For one, after the battle in the ruins, the princess never appears on screen again. It's just assumed she gets taken back to her father. Also, the last line of narration at the end was "but that is another story", rather than "that story shall also be told" ; as a nod to the old custom that storytellers were paid "by the story", so a crafty storyteller would always leave his audience wanting more, and willing to pay.

31:40, He's only *mostly* dead. Mostly dead is still slightly alive. Side note; crucifixion was usually done with rope, not nails. The person was tied to the cross in a position such that they had to flex and pull themselves up to breath, when they got too tired to do this they slowly asphyxiated and died. The nails bit was for the added cruelty of having to pull against the spike through your own flesh in order to keep breathing basically making the crucified person torture themselves until they died.

48:30 - BARBARIANS? - The term "barbarian" was used by ancient Greek and Roman people to refer to those who did not speak their languages; it originally referred to stammering and stuttering. Because the ancient Greek and Roman people viewed themselves as superior and civilized and others as not, "barbarian" also had a negative connotation. 'Citizens were recognied by their clean-shavedness. Barbarian' was a term to describe a non-citizen or unshaven. The occupational term 'barber' is associated, and 'barbe is the french word for'beard'.

I read the Conan books as a boy in the seventies. Evil wizards in Hyborea were especially ruthless. Gaining power from cruelty.

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 reading the Marvel comics of Conan from various eras and all I could see and hear was Arnold. The 1983 sequel, "The Destroyer" was like a RPG come to life and just as good. Arnold was going to become Conan for a 3rd time (2000-2010s) and it was shelved. Btw, you should check out Bridgette Nelsen's film debut (pre-Rocky IV), Red Sonja (1985), Another character by Robert E Howard 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.

Definitely the best film of this genre. It took itself seriously. There were few jokes. The closest modern revenge epic of this caliber is The Northman, but this was filmed as a long music video. I think at the end, Doom’s children were supposed to set the world afire, attack their own families and communities. The baddie was supposed to be Charles Manson character leading an army of brainwashed hippies. It made sense in the early 80s.

@JnEricsonx If you're not into survival it's probably not for you. I don't play much of anything, but it was free on PS one month and I got hooked. It's very demanding of time. It is very much tied to both these movies and the lore of the books. It uses this theme music and you can get armor & decorations from this movie. There's different modes of playing. Pvp is constant chaos or just play a regular game, build fortresses, go to dungeons.

Mrs. Movies, I believe you are referring to the show Lost Girl. And the actress in that show would have been a VERY young child when this came out. Remember this was WAY back in 1980-something and lost Girl was in the early 2000's. How could she be in her mid 20's to early 30's in this AND Conan which are 20 years apart??. But she played the character of Dr. Lauren. Bo's (the main character) love interest. She was also in another Canadian Show: Dark Matter, as an Android.

My favorite part: Subotai- "I am Subotai - thief and archer. I am Hyrkanian, of the great order of Krelath." Conan- "So what are you doing here?" Subotai- [Holds up chains] "Dinner for wolves." [They both laugh] As it had been written in the Scrolls of Skelos, to enter into close combat with Conan was to invite certain death.

Arnold was in The Long Goodbye (1973) as an unnamed hoodlum, Stay Hungry (1976) in a supporting role, Scavenger Hunt (1979) in a bit part and in The Villain (1979), a live-action Roadrunner-style movie with Ann Margaret and Kirk Douglas. He was also in a couple TV series and movies, like The Jayne Mansfield Story (1980) as Jayne's husband Mickey Hargitay. And, of course, Pumping Iron (1977).

Little bit knowledge for the uninitiated, the skeleton he gets the sword from is an Atlantean king, Thulsa Doom was a former slave of Atlantis who caused it's downfall, implying Conan is enacting revenge for not just himself but Atlantis.
