i literally cried when i saw this 30 years later.
this is true
Why was this deleted? Too far ahead of its time?
I agree.
If you don't like this you're an untermensch, in the nietzschean sense.
Cool opinion, reddit. But it's not even fantasy.
youtube.com
Whatever let's get pumped up.
in all honesty i don't know. i saw the original at the drive in many years ago and many times after and was never aware that scene even existed until LOLutube.
>tfw pure sword and sorcery films with MUSCULARITY and Adventure are dead
Fucking (((holywood)))
Absolute /kino/.
Prime Arnold
Brilliant Antagonist
Great supporting cast
Surprisingly subtle themes
God Tier soundtrack
My only complaint is that the first act drags slightly, but other than that it's a great film and certainly a respectable choice
thulsa doom requires bitches is also one of the GOAT older memes
Why wasn't Conan the Destroyer as good? Why didn't he series run until he became a king in his own right like we were promised?
>Why wasn't Conan the Destroyer as good?
money got involved, destroyed it.
they killed it user, they killed it.
is this Arnold's best performance?
every version ive seen had this scene in.. were u watching on spike tv lol?
I don't know what spike tv is but I've never seen this scene before and I've seen the movie around six times.
DOB 1999+
yeah same here, remember it vividly because i laughed about the blueberries.
It's certainly the best script he had to work with.
I watch that scene and I buy him as a 100% serious leading man, I feel like in his later movies people have to watch him with this "so bad it's good lol" attitude but here I think he's through and through great.
maybe because it doesnt really fit his character
conan is supposed to be the quiet brute type and this is pretty elegant and poetic
still a great scene that shouldve been included
it was in the version i saw
no lies detected
Robert E. Howard was a beta pussy and John Milius is a kike
Sage
It's a rea Pity that Nazi Mod killed it
Almost. Excalibur is better
They wanted it to be more kid friendly. A fucking travesty.
But that's mythology, not fantasy.
the opening sequence to this movie is legendary
no emotional investment, its just conan running around looking for an evil wizard with his new pals that had nothing to do with the original.
the first conan was all about purpose and his drive to get revenge for his people.
the second was an obligatory sequel with no heart
>Excalibur
please stop shilling that piece of shit of a movie
I like both but you are kidding yourself.
B-but Batman v Superman makes references to it so it has to be smart!
agreed
i'd rather beatmaster or sword and the sorcerer
before i sit thru excalibur again.
I remember Subotai being replaced by some cowardly thief who somehow remembered Conan punching a camel despite not being there at the time. It feels like a cheap adventure with no soul and cringeworthy "comedy" moments.
But Grace Jones though.
Looks like she'd saw you in half.
Yes, and?
If that's what you like, pal, I won't stop you.
Gee that's nice of you!
>Hurr durr Arni is a bad actor
That proofs it wrong. Why they deleted this? This is one of the best acting scenes I've ever saw from him.
No Red Sonja is the best
youtube.com
are you dumb or something?
also, who are you quoting?
...
Are you dumb? That user is obviously talking about people who think Arnold can't act.
100% agree, there's a lot of fantasy films I personally love that I would rank alongside it for various reasons, but the fact everyone involved was really involved and seemed to give a shit about making more than just a trash fantasy violence flick showcasing Hollywood's next musclebeast makes this something special. Conan has the violence and musclemen, but it has much more under it.
This. I was quoting the general accept opinion that Arnold is a bad actor, which he obviously isn't.
but user, he can't.
he was good for those one lines
"stick around"
"let off some steam"
"get to the helicopter"
"i'll see you around"
what film was he good in besides this?
Why does the fact that Anrie recites some dumb one-liners tongue-in-cheek negate his ability to act?
This is a Conan the Barbarian thread. Please leave.
well he did act his way out of having an illegitimate son until his office was over, so i'll give you that.
Despite being not really a good movie, he is great in Maggie and also in Aftermath.
He even won an best supporting actor Golden Globe in the 70s for Stay Hungry.
Excalibur's fucking awful, the ideas are there, but they clearly didn't have the budget to realize it. It's just recycled Lord of the Rings stuff, Boorman was going to do Lord of the Rings, that fell through, so everything for that production went towards this.
Conan The Barbarian is a good movie but it doesn't do justice to the original author's view on Conan.
Conan is nothing but a massive prick who takes everything by force, treats women like objects and fights monsters just get some gud boi points
Arnold talks about what went wrong in his autobiography. Basically the studio strongarmed him into doing it as a vapid cashgrab, he wanted out but was fucked by his contract so he just did it. He also mentions how Grace Jones and Wilt Chamberlain had some of the worst on-set brawls he'd ever seen in his life about who was 'really' black, they would constantly call each other niggers and other slurs in the makeup trailer with good natured and affable Arnold in the middle trying to break it up and understand what their problem was.
>N-no, don't criticize not my shitty forgotten movie that I'm forcefully trying to bring back by means of an offhand mention from a bad director. I know I'll say Reddit, that will show him!
>G-good morning Reddit!
Pathetic. Just mentioning Conan in the same breath as that pos is bad enough. Please leave.
Literally fucking neck yourself.
I recently read Roger Moore's autobiography and he complained about what a cunt Grace Jones was too.
I see you read Arnold's autobiography
great book btw
But yeah they didnt listen Arnolds advices about not toning down violence
Stay mad
i'm going to be honest, i've never viewed any of those films so i can't give any feedback
>no Krull
>no Dragonslayer
good times, good films
oh my god
I totally forgot about that annoying little princess cunt
THATS what made it a bad movie
you wanted that little bitch to get eaten by a snake at the end of it
meant for
Have you read the original stories or read anything about Robert E. Howard? Read The Tower of the Elephant and get back to me.
true
ive always liked movie conan more
As someone who has read those original stories, that doesn't sound much like Conan.
The remake was better
which one, isn;t there two?
>Robert E Howard
>Mommy issues
>Misogynist
>Alcoholic
>Writes the most Alpha Male character where only the strong survives and women are nothing but sexual pleasure
Is he /ourguy/ ?
well he does have a fedora.
No.
He was also pen-pals with another /ourguy/, Lovecraft.
First Conan is 100% John Milius (thematically and aesthetically), it's absolutely an auteur film. You need someone OBSESSED with war and poetry to write and direct something like this.
I like Richard Fleischer, he's a great craftsman who did a lot of great stuff in the 50-60's but he didn't put any soul in it as it was just an easy studio cashgrab sequel.
No
Excalibur is better.
it's certainly amusing that Conan is considered braindead fantasy porn when it actually has a lot of on-point philosophical discussion. It is as misunderstood as Nietzsche himself.
Stop pls you are triggering me
it makes me like her even more
Grace wouldn't be as awesome if she wasn't a perfect bitch
>I-I-IT'S ALL ZACK'S FAULT!!!!
Apart from the Fellowship of the ring
wut?
She also crashed Arnold's wedding (along with Andy Warhol)
King Arthur is a mythological figure. Conan is a fantasy character.
>hasn't read a single Conan story
Conan the Barbarian is superior to LOTR
again, wut?
Arthur wasn't real. Just because there was some king named arthur at some other point in time doesn't mean it's the same guy. King Arthur is a LEGEND. It's FICTION.
>"get to the helicopter"
i chuckled
>Arthur wasn't real
I never said he was. I said king Arthur is a mythological figure, while Conan the Barbarian is a fantasy character. Go back to school, summer hasn't started yet.
>But thats cherry soda, not WILD cherry soda
Wasn't this used in the North American trailer for Ocarina of Time?
>bait this weak
>Still snags some retard
A bit sad, really
The thing is, after Terminator and Commando he didn't got that much variation of roles. That's why he has so much Comedy films that proofs also that he is a good actor and they were the only difference to his action roles they offered him. Now that he is old he must not do that stuff anymore so he do Dramas.
But user someone is wrong on the internet.
>proofs also that he is a good actor
He's not a good actor, he just has a likable persona.
And a Jew makes the best one
He is one of the good guys
/ourjew/
>Valeria's death and funeral
She was a good friend.
Up until the fighting pits the movie reminds me of 2001, in that the story is mostly told through visuals and music
Pretty kino desu, I agree that it kinda drags after this though, until based Osric gives them the job to retrieve his daughter
Witcher movies may be better when we finally get them.
>Do you want to live forever?
This line sticks with me the same way Hilda's (Outlaw Star) does.
>You're just gonna keep running away?!
Predator might compete
True Lies is his best
I agree
