Listening to Mako recite the intro speech in Barbarian was a wonderful thing. Gruff and low and hung on the words and gave a sense of some epic adventure afoot. By comparison in Destroyer he sounds like he was late for a coffee break and quickly rushed the lines out with no real feeling. One of a lot of things that sums up the differences between the movies.
he goes to fast he should went more slowly with the dialogue and use more pauses between the speech! The narrator from the first movie was far better!!
@@333arisokapoios It is the same narrator but different directors. John Milius (director of Barbarian) loved the source material and was a master of screenwriting - he wrote much of the Indianapolis speech for Quint in Jaws, he wrote the screenplay for Apocalypse Now and the Kurtz speech...so it makes a difference when you have a man like that directing actors. You noticed it right here in the same actor, Mako, same narration - but different direction.
"Between the years when the oceans drank Atlantis and the rise of the sons of Aryas, there was an age undreamed of, when shining kingdoms lay spread across the world. Hither came Conan, the Cimmerian, sword in hand. It is I, his chronicler, who knows well his saga. Now, let me tell you of the days of high adventure."
While Atlantis is mythological Aryas may refer to the Aryan people who are an ethnoculture of Indo-Iranian people (their name was later taken by the Germans in WW2 and other Occultists with bigoted beliefs) While Cimmerian is probably derived from Sumerian which are a Mesopotamian/Iraqi people that created the Sumerian Empire in modern day Iran and Kuwait. (so yes Conan is probably Mesopotamian if he were real that is and probably founded the Sumerian Empire if not the Civilization itself.) Fun fact the Sumarians were later conquered by the Akkadians who the Scorpion King of Egypt was said to be decended from and was made into an Empire by Sargon of Akkad (not to be confused with the UA-camr that uses his name)
@@forickgrimaldus8301 Thanks for the historical references. It must be said that this kind of film and this music by Basil Poledouris was incredible when I was young.
@@conanone Absolutely does. This movie sucks soo bad, including the intro where Mako sounds bored to death, that instead of watching this brain fart, it inspires me to watch "Conan The Barbarian" and forget this shyte...
@@abcun17 Conan the Barbarian is boring, it is too long and it doesn't have enough action. Most of the cast cannot act and did very bad performances (Arnold was nominated for a razzie award). Plus there is not enough fantasy in the Barbarian, I guess because Milnius didn't have enough money.
when i was about 5 years old i used to go to my grandpas house he had this dvd. at the time this movie gave me chills i was obsessed with this movie and i used to watch this every day for years. yesterday youtube threw me this video and i unlocked this beautiful memory
I think the two Conan films balance each other well. The first was gritty and more 'real' if you want to put it that way, while the second was more adventurous and fun. I think they play off of each other well and are both immensely enjoyable in their own right.
The first one is his origin story and first adventure, and the setup showing the Hyborian civilization and age. The second one is one of his many later adventures. The second movie is unfairly maligned because it is or was intended to be an episode in a longer story arc, not the second and climactic resolve of a two movie series. Or whatever. It is an episode of high adventure taken from one of his many, and thus it stands on its own right. The gritty more philosophical and epic first movie is also balanced by its lighter tone. Much like Hercules and the Captive women and "Good natured" brawling and muscleman jocular yet fun jokes.
Well, imo in first Conan soundtrack was significantly better. The new one doesn't have the feeling of epicness and brutality which OST from Conan the Barbarian had.
Ok,you liked it more than barbarian but you are a rare exception.There are so many reasons why Barbarian is generally considered as better in basically anything.
This movie introduced me to the fantasy genre. I remember when I was around 8-10 years of age, and watched conan the destroyer on tv. I loved it. After that my dad bought me Conan comics and Lord of the Rings books.
You can feel, when the conan the barbarian theme appears (2:30) that this movie score (and even the movie itself) was less deep than the previous film. There is a huge contrast!
From what I understand, he had just recently eaten a burrito supreme from taco bell and rushed through his script so he could go drop a load. True story
You know something epic and badass is about to happen when he says: " now let me tell you of the days of high adventure."especially with that tone of voice.
I know it's my favourite part... and the visual is pretty spectacular as well!! I love the melody, makes my heart lift and goosebumps! Amazing memories as a child watching this.
Yes I agree! This is a unique intro that's not found on the soundtracks. Basically, this opening blends the theme of Destroyer (aka The Riders of Taramis) with the original theme from Barbarian (Anvil of Crom). It's a pity more of Anvil of Crom isn't peppered into the movie. But the opening music sequence is just perfect!

well said! Best comment here! I salute you!
off topic but did your parental units actually name you after our Lord and Saviour? If so, I salute them!

Pahaha! Genius
Greed and hate are far more pressing things to worry about than the over hyped fear of “political correctness.”
The Conan movies were easily some of the best movies ever made.
The music always gives me goosebumps.
Music still gives me goosebumps to this day.
I absolutely agree. Epic.
I cant believe the writer/creator of conan committed suicide at the age of 30.... such an waste and shame! the man was genius!
The first one is. This one blows
@@cannibalbunnygirl nah, both original Conan movies were badass. I haven't watched the one with momoa.

THE BEST OF THE BEST !!!! 💙

I know. They really needed a second take.
@Shorelines of Andhra Yeah, that’s what we said in that Barbarian was far superior.
"Yeah, Conan the Barbarian, yada, yada..."-Mako in Conan the Destroyer.
Still better than the recent shit Hollywood has put out. The soundtrack is triumphant!!!
One of the finest pieces of orchestral compositions in the last century.
It's gorgeous.
Mako’s voice was awesome as the narrator. RIP!
He kind of reminds me of Mr. Miyagi. Both of them....R.I.P. 🙏
He was more intimidating and immersive in the first film.

At 2:33 close your eyes and just listen, I swear brings me back to the 80's when life was good
They dont make them like they used to. Soundtrack is epic as usual by Basil
RiP Basil :(
Well, imo in first Conan soundtrack was significantly better. The new one doesn't have the feeling of epicness and brutality which OST from Conan the Barbarian had.
Yes as a whole the first movie was better, but this intro is still FANTASTIC nonetheless!
World of MONSTERS dude that music was beautifully proposed. The nostalgia is real
guess what i liked Conan the Destroyer much more than the previous Barbarian. i think the sequel couldnt be much more better than this one.
The opening and soundtrack are the only good things in this movie.
Ok,you liked it more than barbarian but you are a rare exception.There are so many reasons why Barbarian is generally considered as better in basically anything.
Damn straight. One hell of an epic opening
I come back here every now and then to witness this greatness once again.
childhood memories restored.
GOOD TIMES!
definitely there was an era when movies in Hollywood were so epic
I've been humming this theme all day n just hit me!!! I've not seen this movie in YEARS!!! And I got goosebumps after the music began!!!
Best epic music and overall intro over all the time in movie history. I love it. Masculin, Freedom, Proud.
子供のときから、ビデオテープで繰り返し見てました👍
Transition to “Anvil Of Crom” theme is brilliant at 2:34
This movie introduced me to the fantasy genre.
I remember when I was around 8-10 years of age, and watched conan the destroyer on tv. I loved it.
After that my dad bought me Conan comics and Lord of the Rings books.
Fantasy? wtf are you talking about.
I remember as a kid watching this movie, I'd put a towel on my head tie it with a wire,swinging my plastic sword and act as a Conan. Dayuum good times
MMomentum123 😂😂😂
Me and my cousins would sword fight outside after watching this and the first one lmao.
Hahaha i used to do the same

NO PEACE!! CRUSH YOUR ENEMIES, SEE THEM DRIVEN BEFORE YOU, AND HEAR THE LAMENTATION OF THEIR WOMEN!!
First half pumps your heart and then 2:33 melts it
I get goosebumps every time when I see this scene, they finally show Conan and Anvil Of Crom starts playing.
The best soundtrack, i love this music...
Basil poledouris mean something great always
Diese Melodie ist genial
That priceless whip sound at 2:18 !
The best part in my opinion... :)
Best movie intro, good gym motivator music
Turning 40, this was the first movie I’ve ever watched (thanks mom).
Watched a million times, still gives me goosebumps with the epic music of Basil!
Conan prayer and music is an epic scene!!😎

I will always regret that after Arnold left politics they did not film “Conan the King: Witch of the White Mists.” He was the right age.
It was more due to De Laurentiis and Red Sonja.
Arnie also did not agree with the direction this sequel took.
The horn is his life tear out the horn!!!!
RIP Andre the Giant, the Eighth Wonder of the World
Jedan od najboljih filmova svih vremena.
The uninterested voice of Mako not getting paid.
From 1:25 to 2:19 is the best part of this soundtrack.
puts goosebumps on ya listening to this
The Mako intro in the first movie was so much more epic. This sounds like he had a couple of scotch and sodas and was ready to cash his check.
From what I understand, he had just recently eaten a burrito supreme from taco bell and rushed through his script so he could go drop a load. True story
@@welfarecrusader6855 an epic load was dropped that day...
Lmao your soooo right 😂😂😂
@@welfarecrusader6855 he sounds like he was quite literally phoning it in.

this was a good movie, why do ppl try so hard to be different. both movies were good.
I don't understand the lamentations, it's a good movie.
I agree it's a good movie I like it better then the first.
Антон Эдвард I only hear the lamentation of women ;)
eu concordo
to me this one is better than the previous Barbarian. its a PG rated and a heroic image
still better than the 2011 crap with jason mom (little girly man)
hahahahah...i dont even count that one a movie but a low budget scenarios shot by a camera phone
He was fine. The movie was shit though
*_O que seria dos filmes de Conan sem as músicas geniais de Basil Poledouris._*
Every thing about Conan barbarian was better than the destroyer even the intro
This intro is the best part of the movie.
and the ending. the epic ending ever
The most memorable part of this movie was the intro
+lunatiksAlterEgo Because the GOAT of basketball was there. Big Dipper #13
+CalcioEUnico the REAL GOAT
ending as well
I liked all the scenes with Olivia D'abo was in
Best intro ever !!! I am a fan of this since 1992. I love this stuff !
My favourite one.
What i loved 'bout BOTH Conan movies was one dude:Mako. That man's voice would make you get excited for a Yellow Pages reading.....
You know something epic and badass is about to happen when he says: " now let me tell you of the days of high adventure."especially with that tone of voice.
Indeed hahaha
one of best opening music arnold and sword
no doubt....
Both Conan films are amazing.
Mako sounds like he had a Starbucks coffe and a muffin in each hand while he did one take of his intro lines and walked out of the recording booth.
His moustache prob got in the way
Yea, he phoned this one in.
One of the best openings.
Long ago in a distant land, I, Aku, the shape-shifting Master of Darkness, unleashed an unspeakable evil!
the intro and the theme is far good then many of the sword & sorcery film. Basil poledouris has done really good always
Man deserves all the awards!!
@@Rodshark75 award or not, but the movie is one of the best movie in my life
I swear to god when the chorus drops @2:34 its amazing

You are very beautiful
the age when we fight against ... gods , giant , heroes , demons ......

Best fantasy movie intro ever and great motivational music!!! And thank You Chrome for Arnold Schwarzenegger - embodiment of an ideal- Conan the Barbarian.
On these years the film producers can not make a movie on that quality.
Great,great music by Basil Poledouris.
The 1975 Mr Olympia the one and only Arnold Schwarzenegger!!!!
This movie is aging really well with me. Watching this makes me want to give it another try after 30 years.
Can't describe the feelings when i see the two Conan movies...
One of the Greatest! Basil was amazing!!!
I still get the same goosebumps today as I did when I was a boy whenever I hear this dialogue
NOW LET ME TELL YOU OF THE DAYS OF HIGH ADVENTURE!
Let me tell you of the days of high quality movies. It is me np Conan's witness to a epic time shrouded in awsomeness.
Thank you Mr Poledouris for being born Greek
This is no academy award movie...but it is a fun popcorn flick none the less.Great theme song!
Cant decide whats more badass, Thorgrim's hammer or Bombata's mace.
Difficult, but my vote goes to Thorgrim. Mostly because I LIKED him more.
You knew you were in trouble when Mako basically phones in the epic intro... whoo boy.
I can accept a lot from Fantasy movie, suspend my disbelief for almost anything... but Wilt Chamberlain protecting the virginity of a pretty young woman is totally unbelievable *lol*
I loved this movie has a kid. Now I watch it has an adult and it could of been so much better.
Bombatas mace looks wicked! I always liked the unique design with eagle like beak blade.
Conan is coming back in 2014, Arnold is playing Conan once again ...
Gym motivation 2024
this was the first Conan movie I saw so theme that starts at 0:50 is in my mind THE Conan theme
The difference between CtB and CtD is the difference between D&D 1st edition and 5th Ed.
I will always see the horses in slow motion... Riders of Taramis is EPIC.... 1:32 ...
solid cinematography from 84.
*The Original Masterpiece on so many Levels!* Its A shame They didn't keep going w/ this 1 & only passionate take!
Nice to see Roy Thomas who wrote Conan the Barbarian's original run with Marvel Comics back in the 80s also did this.
Arnol'd best shape ever.
