Incredible movie, Arnold’s finest. I LOVE this. The absolute best fantasy film, about one man’s triumph, not by steel or flesh, but by sheer force of will.
Dan Radu totally right. Is it possible to find out any pure talents from current movies? No. CG and compiterized works have ruined our talents for decades. So sad!!
A movie like this,would never been ''greenlighted'' by a Hollywood studio today.It's too ''offensive'' for all the little Special Snowflakes,who would start some twitter shitstorm,against it.They would bitch,that the movie is ''racist'',''sexist'',promotes violence etc. etc.
The most classical of stories; awesome music, epic scenes...nothing that Hollywood can make nowdays...a movie to be own and shared with your kids, the purest sense of fantasy.
who cares what fantasy high or low i dont care i just wish CONAN came up to kick game of shitty thrones fanboys asses and harry potter to get dismember by him =) those are some cheap very cheap fantasy series.
Its good to contemplate that one of my all-time favorite movies still moves me so much to this very day. And then, some decades later, I learn that the runes on the Cimmerian sword say "Suffer no shame ye who weilds this in the name of Crom" and I realize its rocks even a bit more than I thought.
One watches this ( _the original Conan_ ) and then they watch that *atrocity of a remake* with _Jason Momoa_ and just want to swing an axe at their tv set! Couldnt watch beyond the first 12 mins of that crap! I can watch the original *Conan* till the day I die and never grow tired of it. I've already watched the original over 300 times throughout the years.
@@nyalarhotep Agreed. Couldnt watch that beyond the first 10 mins. The *original* was EPIC + nothing will ever compare or live up to it. Lets not forget that *James Earl Jones* was the baddest villain ever in that film. What a performance! And lets not even get into the soundtrack ( music score ) !!! That should be the soundtrack when the world falls apart + the battle for humanity is at stake!
@@badinski_1195 My own opinion on this is that there’s no direct representation of Egyptian culture in this film but there is an overarching reconstruction of the ancient world that touches on Egypt in certain ways. But to me there’s little that would be ascribed to Egypt that couldn’t be more readily ascribed to ancient Sumer, Mesopotamia, Hattusa etc…With that said, I think the Egypt angle is an interesting one and could lead to some interesting observations.
I was so fortunate to be a kid to see all the Star Wars, Conan the Barbarian, Indiana Jones, Dragonslayer, Halloween and Alien on their opening days at the theater. Conan and Dragonslayer remain to this day two of the greatest fantasy movies ever made. Only problem is there were about 150 garbage fantasy movies made behind them that ruined quality fantasy movies, and fear of making them for years to come.

Where did you get the info about his language fluency? I am a big fan of the movie, and i also am from Serbia. It really surprises me he was fluent in Serbian, it`s not like it is the lingua franca of the world lol
God bless you. This movie formed my childhoold. I'm a nurse now, so it didn't make me soldier., but it did make me true fan. I will show this to my own children, as my own mother did.
I'm less upset with Destroyer - which had some comic relief and some good scenes - than with the failure of Hollywood in producing only three Conan movies in thirty years. If there had been ten Conan movies I'm sure five of them would have been big hits.
watched it last night on starz or showtime or one of my movie channels man its been awhile since Ive seen the whole movie wow it was great. If the exact same movie came out in 2014 it would still be tremendous. Arnold played it perfectly....great movie forever
The worst decision they could’ve made was lightening the character for the sequel conan the destroyer lacked the depth of the first movie had I’m just hoping that the new film that they are planning has that level of depth and dimension to see Conan as a king ready for that last great battle.
He really should have stuck with this he was born to play this part the man who wrote these storys saw him before he was even born amazing totally amazing
Turchin! You have elevated my love of this movie even higher than ever. I MUST read that first oliver stone draft. I must! A labor of love that will endure forever.
This is by far the best of the Conan movies. Better obviously than the second film and much better than the film that came out a couple of years ago. The first Conan film does take from some elements of the books. The others don't...not at all. The music is what makes the film imo. It's perfect for the genere. It isn't perfect, however. It doesn't put the book Conan in the correct light. If one wants to do a great Conan movie, they must take from the books directly. Having read all of them many times, there is a huge variety of stories to tell.
WOW! it never occurred to me how badly the script was cut! that movie is a solid script of imagination! Why we dont have another hardass like Arnold playing Conan is beyond me!
HAhahahaha Dino De Laurentiis looks like and talks like a villain from a Conan story! Seriously, though. Not a perfect translation of Howard's work, but very close. After watching this, I don't think there can be any doubt as to Stone's respect for the source material, or how well Milius grasped Howard's themes and higher artistic points.
Very much agreed. It's hardly 1-1 with Robert's work, but it bears similar themes despite the differences between the Conan of Robert and that of Millius and Stone. It works fine on its own as an icon of fantasy movies.
What an awesome times: parents sleep and U can share a great film with a brother..) Hope, a new movie 'bout Conan will be brutal and "Paul Verhoeven style" - old school rocks!
One of the best Comic to movies ever made.. If not the best... Stone captured Conan perfectly... no CGI.. no changing the source material.. Great music, sets, and story, and good acting.
Conan is not a comic book character he is from the Pulp magazines of the 1930's and is nothing like the Arnold film. Do yourself a favor and pic up the collected Conan stories by Robert E. Howard his Conan would flatten Arnold's Dimwit the Barbarian
just so we are straight here most of you probably know but Arnold will be Conan the Legend coming out late 2015! so just a little over a year away! Its going to be EPIC! It will skip over the 1984 Destroyer.
The better movie than what we got with Milius could not possibly be made. This is the reason why i can`t agree with your idea. I would not have wanted even Milius to make a sequel yearly, because sequels would probably turn out shitty. One simply does not make such a masterpiece in a year.
I LOVED him more than I loved _Conan_ - ( _well....ok not more per se, but you get the gist of it_ ) ; One of my favorite lines in the film was when he had ensnared Conan in that pit, where he was just summoning those _virgins_ to leap to their deaths at the wave of his hand - and then he just looks at Conan with that intensity and says : " *What is STEEL compared to the HAND that wields it?* " I tell ya, I contemplated that on the tree of woe ! It was such a profound statement and _true_ if one contemplates it. BEST movie of all time.
Fans of this movie, do yourself a favor and try reading the Conan graphic novels currently out from Dark Horse comics. Just pick one volume, any one, and read it, you'll be hooked. Insanely good, and this is coming from a 42 year old who loves this movie.
What about the newly released Conan comics from Marvel Comics?? What do you think of it compared to Dark Horse Comics's version of Conan?? www.cbr.com/conan-barbarian-1-2019-review/ screenrant.com/marvel-kills-conan-barbarian-comic/ www.ign.com/articles/2019/01/02/conan-makes-his-triumphant-return-to-marvel-conan-the-barbarian-1-review I'm trying to increase the masculinity of my boyfriend. He's always on his smartphone updating his social media accounts and snapping selfies.
They don't make movies like this no more and that's the problem with hollywood anymore. There is no creativity and imagination, just a want for modern and less fantasy.
In the trailer we are believe to think it is a b-movie with a barbarian trying to rescue a princess or killing the bad guy. Although it is true, it is the least important plot in the movie. There is, as we know now, a much deeper telling story. It is just one of the best films ever made. Though the sequel really suck, why? Because there isn't a deep meaningful story behind it. It is just a b-movie trying to rescue a princess and killing the bad guy, that's all.
They should really revisit Oliver Stone's original conception of Conan if they ever decide to bring back then character to the screen again. I don't count the last horrible attempt at it with Jason Mamoa. He could have been a great Conan, but the story and screenplay behind that one was weak and just horrible. If they did it right, and got the right screenplay to take the story and characters seriously like they did in 1982, it could have really worked.
Nobody seems to know that the music and costumes were lifted from a Russian movie called Ivan Nevesky made by the director Eisenstein. The music is hard to recognize because it is so distorted.
Technically it was gonna be, apparently the name he uses in the movie IS a alias from one of the stories. But Arnold was only supposed to be in the film briefly, but he got basically tied into a much larger role
Imagine any other than Arnold starring in a movie called Conan the Barbarian in 1982.......Right,you can't? Me either. He was made to be Conan. Not his best work but damn what a fun movie to watch. Just a well made film by everyone involved. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I think the film and effects technology exists today to bring Oliver Stone's original vision of Conan to the silver screen, but it has to be done by someone special... The remake to Conan was a disgrace... Oliver Stone's original version (which we never saw) has the potential to be a darker and more brutal version of Lord Of The Rings...
filmes como este, nunca mais serao feitos, um personagem e um ator como o swarzeneguer , nao sei se escrevi certo, sao unicos, e para ser feito apenas uma vez !!! nao pode ser copiado ou superado!!!
agreed totally, they should have stuck to the original set up it was perfect and people would have been happy with more of the same with story adjustments etc
Sgt Rock! "But at the start of the 90s, it could have been Stallone, Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis uniting, when the trio were (almost) all at the height of their box office powers. The project was the comic book adaptation of Sgt Rock, being packaged by uber-producer Joel Silver, and there was real consideration given to bringing the three together in the one project. Schwarzenegger was attached, but we suspect it was the budget that ultimately kyboshed the idea. Sgt Rock is, however, still in development, and recently was linked to Bruce Willis. Guy Ritchie had been mooted as a director, but he went off to do Sherlock Holmes instead." too bad!

And Conan never said "goddammit" either, that wasn't an oath in Howard's post-Atlantean Europe - Jeez, people, I don't care if you wish you write an original tale, someone else did, and you can only spoil it by changing it - go read the original tales, the first 7 or 8 volumes
Where is the sequel of this epic movie?they served us a mediocre mess and dissapointed,how about a real movie for us that love the books and the lore of Conan.
I must have to point out that what they say about Howard's paranoia towards his town and the way which he wrote Conan is flat out bullshit. He was not a Texan cookoo freaking out in the night, but hard working man with a talent and passion for history, archaeology, myths and fables, upon which he drawn on to create Hyboria and Conan.
Maybe, but it is kinda fact that in 1982 the mass of moviegoers formed long lines that spanned streets, causing traffic jams. Can modern movies make something like that?
Alex Turchin Of course they can. And do. All the time. As evidence, look at the success of films like "Avatar", "Titanic", "Avengers". Franchises like "Harry Potter", "Batman", and "The Hunger Games". These films tend to get made people who are enthusiastic about telling the story. Also, respect for the source material has led to the phenomenal success of films like "The Lord of the Rings" and television series like "Game of Thrones".
I think they don't want to risk showing things that might cause an uproar, I don't know. Conan's world is more violent than in the movie, tons of tavern wenches and prostitutes, back-alley thugs....but hell, it's also more realistic and much richer! Today, in a fight, they would try to portray him as a total badass instead of a raw, quasi-animalistic cimmerian warrior. Also they would try to imprint modern day ideals and behaviour, which conan doesn't have, of course. ah...by Crom, I'm ranting again. I would totallly support a Conan TV show, like game of thrones(nice budget, nice actors, accurate portrayal of living conditions...)
I thought this one was fairly good for a film interpretation of conan. Did they get it perfect? No but it was watchable. Everything in this genre after this one sucked balls though.
pdxeddie1111 it's what happens when something is successful, tons of copycats follow trying to "eat" what's left. I don't think Arnold made a great interpretation of Conan(not saying it was entirely his fault though, can't think of a better actor in that time for this but script does count too)...it's just that Conan world is so much more, this felt like a single-issue comic story, left me feeling like they left so many things out that would have made it better
***** Yes. According to the story, Howard exclaimed that the "words and pages POURED onto my typewriter without me even thinking what to write." Fantastic.
Even though Conan is referring to the Cimmerian rather than the Christian god, on television they always cut out the part of Conan's prayer where he says, "and if you do not listen, then the hell with you"!

Yes.

Goddamn that score. Definitely one of the all time top 5 imo.
If this was made today they would butcher it with CGI.
Maybe.
Dan Radu totally right. Is it possible to find out any pure talents from current movies? No. CG and compiterized works have ruined our talents for decades. So sad!!

Ha! That's right ....the snake cults would protest that they're being 'misrepresented' in a bad light.

yes exactly besides i think conan was high fantasy some years before the lord of the rings came out CONAN!!!!!!!!!!
who cares what fantasy high or low i dont care i just wish CONAN came up to kick game of shitty thrones fanboys asses and harry potter to get dismember by him =) those are some cheap very cheap fantasy series.

This movie was amazing. I saw it at an early age and is still one of the best ever. Arnold was amazing in this, perfect choice.
we was CHEATED out of 11 Movies
btw this conan the barbarian is one of THE Best Movies of my childhood, even better than "star wars" or "et" LOL Istill havnt even seen ET!
Stupid movie ET, I never bothered to watch it.
The Egyptian symbolism is huge in Conan. Somebody was clearly reading about ancient Egypt no doubt. The casting of James Earl Jones was genious.
i know its been 8 years since you comments mansamusa2012 but could you further elaborate id love to learn what Egyptian symbolism was in the moive

Before CGI but looks amazing and the sound track is fucking awsome
What Oliver Stone proposed at 3:08 could make for a great TV Series today. (Band of Brothers, Game of Thrones type of Series)
They never shiuld have switched from John Miles and Oliver Stone for the sequel.

great video
They should really revisit Oliver Stone's original conception of Conan if they ever decide to bring back then character to the screen again. I don't count the last horrible attempt at it with Jason Mamoa. He could have been a great Conan, but the story and screenplay behind that one was weak and just horrible. If they did it right, and got the right screenplay to take the story and characters seriously like they did in 1982, it could have really worked.
Nobody seems to know that the music and costumes were lifted from a Russian movie called Ivan Nevesky made by the director Eisenstein. The music is hard to recognize because it is so distorted.
I wish Arnold would’ve did a few more Conan films as a kid I had both movies and Red Sonia an alway’s thought it was Conan in Red Sonia
Technically it was gonna be, apparently the name he uses in the movie IS a alias from one of the stories. But Arnold was only supposed to be in the film briefly, but he got basically tied into a much larger role
Imagine any other than Arnold starring in a movie called Conan the Barbarian in 1982.......Right,you can't? Me either. He was made to be Conan. Not his best work but damn what a fun movie to watch. Just a well made film by everyone involved. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
The best Arnie`s movie by wide margin. Predator and first 2 Terminators come after a big gap. His other movies are hardly worth mentioning.
Read the books. Unreal amazing
I have remembered them, & I have feared them . . .
The most badass movie ever
I think the film and effects technology exists today to bring Oliver Stone's original vision of Conan to the silver screen, but it has to be done by someone special... The remake to Conan was a disgrace... Oliver Stone's original version (which we never saw) has the potential to be a darker and more brutal version of Lord Of The Rings...
Stone wrote the entire script while on a coked up binge. And it reads just as horrible....
filmes como este, nunca mais serao feitos, um personagem e um ator como o swarzeneguer , nao sei se escrevi certo, sao unicos, e para ser feito apenas uma vez !!! nao pode ser copiado ou superado!!!
Почему без перевода?
No cgi yes!must be a great movie!
Im very curious to see how the new Conan, legend of Conan will be.
A man against false religions and sects
Such a shame they ruined Conan the Destroyer, could so easily been as good as barbarian. Love this film and all the books
agreed totally, they should have stuck to the original set up it was perfect and people would have been happy with more of the same with story adjustments etc
Today it is easier to recreate any story than it was in the past.
+William Varner Easier yes, but with garbage CGI blood and creatures that look fake and stupid.
I an wrong the name of the movie is Alexander Neveski.
The riddle of steel
One of the best movies of the 80s, Conan, Aliens, Predator and Terminator were the shit.
Egyptians still rock! Ask Morsi ;))
And hell yeah, James "Zamunda's King, Vader's and Mufasa's voice" Earl Jones is absolutely tough!
Sgt Rock!
"But at the start of the 90s, it could have been Stallone, Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis uniting, when the trio were (almost) all at the height of their box office powers. The project was the comic book adaptation of Sgt Rock, being packaged by uber-producer Joel Silver, and there was real consideration given to bringing the three together in the one project. Schwarzenegger was attached, but we suspect it was the budget that ultimately kyboshed the idea.
Sgt Rock is, however, still in development, and recently was linked to Bruce Willis. Guy Ritchie had been mooted as a director, but he went off to do Sherlock Holmes instead." too bad!

I so heard
And Conan never said "goddammit" either, that wasn't an oath in Howard's post-Atlantean Europe - Jeez, people, I don't care if you wish you write an original tale, someone else did, and you can only spoil it by changing it - go read the original tales, the first 7 or 8 volumes
the international cut adds a good talking scene and improves the ending. Don't piss off your former cultist...
FYI: you know the Barbarians were Moors/Muur and you know they were really Dark complexion people... great movie though......
John Milius's voice in this vid sounds so much like a deep-voiced Steven Spielberg! lol
I'm glad they left all the mutants out. It was great the way it was.
They are making a new Conan trilogy staring Arnold called legend of Conan I hope it is good
Great movie, let's just pretend there was no sequel though
So freaken sad that they can't make a new Conan movie with the same music/atmosphere/adult-content.....sigh.
Thulsa Doom was such a great villain
This is something so real they Cant make it any more this is reality fantasy and the music is like God made
Bannerlord's music brought me here.
1:25 edward pressman wanted to say "amazing physique" and that EP wanted to blow Arnold.
Where is the sequel of this epic movie?they served us a mediocre mess and dissapointed,how about a real movie for us that love the books and the lore of Conan.
I’m surprised that Oliver Stone wrote this.
Oliver Stone was High as Fuck in the good days.
i have no idea what dino de laurentas said......
I must have to point out that what they say about Howard's paranoia towards his town and the way which he wrote Conan is flat out bullshit. He was not a Texan cookoo freaking out in the night, but hard working man with a talent and passion for history, archaeology, myths and fables, upon which he drawn on to create Hyboria and Conan.
Not respecting the source material, I believe, is one of the main reasons many of these comic-to-film adaptations don't work.
Maybe, but it is kinda fact that in 1982 the mass of moviegoers formed long lines that spanned streets, causing traffic jams.
Can modern movies make something like that?
Alex Turchin Of course they can. And do. All the time. As evidence, look at the success of films like "Avatar", "Titanic", "Avengers". Franchises like "Harry Potter", "Batman", and "The Hunger Games". These films tend to get made people who are enthusiastic about telling the story. Also, respect for the source material has led to the phenomenal success of films like "The Lord of the Rings" and television series like "Game of Thrones".
I think they don't want to risk showing things that might cause an uproar, I don't know. Conan's world is more violent than in the movie, tons of tavern wenches and prostitutes, back-alley thugs....but hell, it's also more realistic and much richer!
Today, in a fight, they would try to portray him as a total badass instead of a raw, quasi-animalistic cimmerian warrior. Also they would try to imprint modern day ideals and behaviour, which conan doesn't have, of course.
ah...by Crom, I'm ranting again. I would totallly support a Conan TV show, like game of thrones(nice budget, nice actors, accurate portrayal of living conditions...)
I thought this one was fairly good for a film interpretation of conan. Did they get it perfect? No but it was watchable. Everything in this genre after this one sucked balls though.
pdxeddie1111 it's what happens when something is successful, tons of copycats follow trying to "eat" what's left.
I don't think Arnold made a great interpretation of Conan(not saying it was entirely his fault though, can't think of a better actor in that time for this but script does count too)...it's just that Conan world is so much more, this felt like a single-issue comic story, left me feeling like they left so many things out that would have made it better
What if Conan were sent to disrupt the death cult of Jim Jones in Guianna? That is the basic thrust of the movie......
Should've left it in Olivers hands
Did that guy really try to tell me that the script writer saw terrifying visions of conan?
That's called LSD. Hell of a drug.
haha youre right, this movie and lsd are very closely related
Conan comes to me in my dreams every night, speaking in ancient language I don't understand.
I think he's trying to tell me I'm about to die.
NYAGHH I HOPE YOU LEFT ENOUGH ROOM FOR MY FIST.
***** Yes. According to the story, Howard exclaimed that the "words and pages POURED onto my typewriter without me even thinking what to write." Fantastic.
GGGaaaaaaa GGGGGaaaaaa GGGGGGaaaaaa CCCCRRROOOMMMM!!!!
Grant me a MOVIE career!! If not..... The Hell with UUUU!!!!
Even though Conan is referring to the Cimmerian rather than the Christian god, on television they always cut out the part of Conan's prayer where he says, "and if you do not listen, then the hell with you"!
really ? in which country ? : ) tv disrespect Crom, it's normal they cut the scene
9:17 This is why I'm not really into anime action.
jason mimosa?? LORF! xD
U r welcome! ;)
"KruuuuuuummmB!"
Arnold would have made a great Thor.
