[@ImWithTeamTrinity]

This movie has some of the best music of any movie.

[@yanbaihuzxzxzx]

the very best

[@WinstonSmith19847]

Arnold movies always do for some reason The Anvil of Crom from this movie is probably my favourite theme tune and Terminator 2 my second.

[@ivanjelenic5627]

RIP Basil Poledouris, maestro!

[@ImWithTeamTrinity]

And the tomb Conan falls into while escaping the wolves, is the tomb of the Atlantean king, a survivor of the destruction of Atlantis. And the sword Conan finds, is a sword forged in Atlantis long before the tomb was built. Excellent story telling.

[@Merecir]

And after that scene, Conan is wearing some nice wolf pelts. 😁

[@stevetheduck1425]

That Atlantean King is one who features in several stories by Howard. There's even a movie about him.

[@jarlnils435]

@@stevetheduck1425 that's Kull?

[@ryanwight9116]

The line “crush your enemies, see them driven from their lands, and hear the lamentations of the women” was definitely inspired by Gangish Khan, he had ALOT of hard core quotes

[@WILD__THINGS]

Yes it was. I was just remembering that as I watched that scene. Very fitting for this movie.

[@aidangreen419]

See them driven before you? That's the movie version. Is it same in the books?

[@TrollCapAmerica]

@@aidangreen419 Conan has a completely different backstory in almost every incarnation from movie to comics to the original books and the movie is its own thing

[@aidangreen419]

@@TrollCapAmerica yea I know I read all the chronicles all the dark horse comics, (none of the marvel versions tho) when I was in my 20s, just wondering about the line. It was a while ago.

[@TrollCapAmerica]

@@aidangreen419 Im fairly certain it was just used for the movie because it sounded like a cold line to deliver even though Gengis would have been thousands of years later than this is supposed to happen

[@ryanwight9116]

Really glad you’re showing them the Arnold movie, this version is the true chad version

[@patmcgroin6916]

From the time of Adam? Yes! The Conan books were set in times before the flood, a mythical era and world created by a young man from Texas named Robert E. Howard in the 1920's. He was a strange fellow who was also a body builder. Howard wrote and had published his first story at age 18, and wrote many more until he committed suicide at age 30 over grief at the death of his mother... "Sword and Sorcery" is the term for this kind of fantasy and Conan is the king of this style.

[@stephenstrange4239]

The Hyborean age.

[@flashkraft]

19:40 They didnt react much when Conan punched out that Camel. I get the feeling that's not the first time they have seen someone fight a camel.

[@ghostdog7575]

How clever Raeen, spotting the witch from the beginning...

[@stevetheduck1425]

A woman living alone in a dangerous world... it's a give-away. Interestingly, Conan may have child he knows nothing of, who is the child of that witch. Later, in the King Conan stories, one such turns up...

[@astromanjdh5908]

Valeria came back from the dead to save Conan as a Valkyrie, which is a type of warrior woman angle that gives an honored escort to the afterlife to great warriors. So Valeria got a good, respected afterlife job, which is why she had all that shiny armor.

[@Trazynn]

If they think a movie from 1982 is old, then have them watch Lawrence of Arabia (1962) but let them guess the age of the movie at the end.

[@ebbhead20]

No, theu think most of things in 80's movies are brand new. So they need to watch either a little film about what was around in 1888 or so. Like when jack the ripper was doing his stuff they could call each other on the phones.. Only a business or the upper classes would have a phone but its around none the less... They need to understand that cars and phones and planes came to be between 1880 and the 1930s. They sound lioe it shouldn't be there in the 1980s but i was there about 100 years before that. Now why they won't teach them about the industrial age idk.? Are they supposed to think india is modern maybe.? Well the rest if the world knows why india and certain other places are so far behind.. It how you handle your wealth. India didnt really let the infrastructure grow when the rest of the world did. A bit like China in some places or north korea.. Its just all for the the powers that be and nevermind the common folk. Now that should be a story they want and need to hear. But they dont touch on that whole thing. Bill Burr even talked about that several times.. I thought i had seen poverty until i went to India.

[@bryandaniel2856]

Probably one of my all time favorite movies.

[@GuillemMartínez-u3g]

I can't belive they are reacting to one of my favourite movies! Great job! Bring more sword and sorcery!

[@Uriel77200]

That wheel the kids were pushing at the beginning was to break / grind stones to get the ore. Ore mined from the earth among the stones to become steel.

[@Kissamiess]

I think in the director's commentary they said it was a grain mill. Of course in the story its purpose is to weed out the weak and train the bodies of those who survive. Not real practical in reality, but this is fantasy.

[@Uriel77200]

@@Kissamiess interesting. I read the book as well as many of the other Conan novels. They stated it was to mine ore in those and that made sense considering the "Riddle of Steel" theme.

[@Kissamiess]

@@Uriel77200 It'se been years since I listened to that commentary, but I think what the director said. The original plan was just to have a wheel to push, but someone came up with a purpose for it, which was to grind grain. Grinding rocks for ore is sound like writer's interpretation, but it's equally valid. My personal idea is that those people who took the Cimmerian children as slaves were just loosely affiliated with Thulsa Doom, like being temporary allies or mercenaries and the kids were part of their payment. They didn't care about the riddle of steel like Doom did, just getting strong slaves.

[@LukasMoon91]

Please show them the 13th Warrior and The Northman!!!

[@Kissamiess]

I believe this movie was shot in Spain. All sort of different environments in the Iberian peninsula.

[@velzaresp8623]

Yeah there are videos in youtube from people visiting the diferent scenes.

[@deepsky2997]

It's true. Well-known sites appear in Spain, such as the Enchanted City of Cuenca. The boy who plays Conan as a child is the actor Jorge Sanz and the woman who plays the mother is Nadiuska, a German who spent most of her career in Spain.

[@yanbaihuzxzxzx]

You guys listen to your audience, I was saying you guys should watch this gem of a movie and you guys did it. Much love to your channel may you reach 1 billion subscribers ❤❤❤

[@melindamercier6811]

Meh, we’ve been begging for them to finished Harry Potter 7, and not a word.

[@yanbaihuzxzxzx]

@melindamercier6811 it takes a minute to do editing and scheduling. I bet they already did it and it's just waiting to be released. Content creators lovs content and that is one good video plus fans like yourself will watch it, like free views 😁

[@joeschmoe4871]

If they want to see a movie that is much older I would recommend "The Wizard of Oz". It's a classic made in 1939 and shot in color (not black and white) which was not commonplace at the time.

[@Trazynn]

Good idea.

[@AwesometownUSA]

I love when they comment on a hot guy’s bod haha

[@aidanfarnan4683]

Amazing! I kind of love how this film get the vibe of Howards work, and by being set in a mythical, imaginary past it kind of always works. "I feel like I’ve seen film from Adam's time." Yeah, exactly. Could not have put it better.

The original ‘Conan the Barbarian’ movie with Arnold Schwarzeneggar! 😁👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@justaguy2365]

Nice!!! This is my favorite movie of all time!! My favorite line of this reaction "Debauchery is happening here!"

[@ll7868]

Arnold and Lou Ferrigno are really good friends, I don't know why they've never worked together in a movie, not counting the Pumping Iron documentary. Lou is still active in Hollywood, he played the Hulk on the 70s tv show, he also cameoed as Stan Lee's security guard partner and voiced the Hulk in 2003's Hulk, he was also the voice of Hulk in 2008's The Incredible Hulk and Avengers: Age Of Ultron and was in 2022 mini-series The Offer, a docudrama about the making of The Godfather.

[@slickrichelicopter8977]

The clapping and then realizing that Conan had his way with her was hilarious. 😅

[@ll7868]

When I was a kid, seeing Darth Vader's voice turn into a snake was pretty cool, Nick Allder was the special effects supervisor on Conan, but not as cool as Rick Baker turning David into a werewolf in An American Werewolf In London a year earlier.

[@pendorran]

Nice shout-out to Badshah. I was worried for a moment by Raeen's use of the past tense.

[@Ezekielepharcelis]

In this movie you cannot leave out the sound and music...😮‍💨

[@siegyriesenweber757]

These guys should watch "True Lies" or "Twins" they will see the funny side of Arnold

True Lies should definitely be the first pick, that's top tier.

[@jefferywarburton2116]

@@AwesometownUSA It's not a tumor.

[@seraphinaaizen6278]

Part of the lore is that Cumerians never pray to Crom. Crom despises weakness, so he considered his followers praying to him an insult; they should be able to fight for themselves. He rewards action, not prayer. But, somehow, I think defiant Conan's prayer would give Crom a chuckle.

[@stevetheduck1425]

Crom Cruach, the ancient Irish god of the underworld is his prototype.

[@MadMattInc1]

Just happy to see others enjoying this movie. While not one to one with the original stories, this movie so far as been one of the better interpretations of a few of the Conan short stories. It, and it's sequel are movies I used to watch a lot when visiting my Aunts who were big into movie collecting in the 80's and 90's. The original creator of Conan, Robert E. Howard, started writing his stories when he was about 25, had several finished long form stories, and several more that he had finished notes on. Sadly, for reasons we don't understand still, Conan's creator killed himself shortly after his mother passed, and he was 30 at the time, passing away in 1936. There have been decades of fights for the rights of the stories due to publishers forcing writers to mess with said stories, to make them into novels, and even making the creator's non Conan stories into Conan ones, and other outside authors making Conan stories that didn't always fit in. Finally about 13 years ago, one man got the rights to all of Howard's works, picked one company to make Conan games (which have come out well so far), re-published the original stories in collections, and is moving for an indie comic company to produce new stories, and draw in original stories as well, with a carful eye to keep things right. And they are still in the works to make a Conan live action series happen. It's been a bit of a struggle to find a place that will make Conan without altering it's style.

[@boqndimitrov8693]

Yes, now we're talking. This and the 1st Terminator I think, are Arnie's best 2 movies, perfect roles for him at the right time. I loved this movie growing up, I used to draw pictures from the movie, and my Dad bought me the armour/sword set when I was 5/6yo. I wonder if the boys will spot Darth Vader or Prince Akeem's Dad, King Jaffe Joffer? I'm sure Raeem will lol 👌🏻🙏🏻

[@adrianaslund8605]

Iran is a good guess. It does look like ancient Iran quite abit.

[@shampoovta]

In the 80’s this inspired a lot of D&D games 😊 This movie and Skyrim are my favorite flavors of fantasy outside of LOTR.

[@Denasgurman]

I would highly recommand you to take a look at the chaos marauders in warhammer fantasy battle (not Age of Sigmar), they are heavily inspired by the Thulsa Dum's band, take a look at the old illustrations I think you'll like it

[@WithXS]

Fantastic, my favourite film. Arnie's first role as a main character in his own voice. I'll bet they will enjoy The Running Man (1987) too, and I hear they're making a new series on the Running Man, so this would set them up for it when it eventually comes out.

[@stevetheduck1425]

After 'Squid Game', it was 'The Running Man', or 'Battle Royale', so... yeah.

[@Doctor1297]

Back in the 80's me, my brother and cousins loved this movie as kids. We were always quoting lines from the movie lol. I've seen it more times than I can remember. I have a replica of Conan's Atlantean sword on a display wall. The sequel Conan The Barbarian is good too, but it's a little bit more Disney compared to this. Still enjoyable. Even now 1982 doesn't feel that long ago.🙏

[@dmschoice2571]

I wished for this reaction quite while now! Thanks a lot for delivering! Im very glad that they've watched even if Sarru ...had some criticism about it. Yeah, it may not be Lord of the Rings - but it was the measuring stick for fantasy movies before the Lord of the Rings movies.

The Nietzshian idea is considered jejune and partial today. The idea that 'what does not kill us makes us stronger' is just luck, not will. The 'last man standing' is pure statistics, like an octopus choosing a lottery number. Enough octopuses and one will choose them all. For example: who knows someone who died recently, and of what?
