Conan the Barbarian is a 1982 sword and sorcery movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as Robert E. Howard's Conan hero. James Earl Jones and Max von Sydow are also in this film. I re-watch this every once in a while. I enjoy the sword and sorcery film subgenre. I got introduced to it through those old Steve Reeves *sigh* Hercules movies I saw on late-night TV. Great fun! Right now this Conan movie is playing on Netflix.

There's a sequel film starring Schwarzenegger -Conan the Destroyer- that is also a lot of fun. A third film was planned but never made.

...I've head of it, but that's about all.
ReplyDeleteIt's right down my alley.
DeleteI love Arnold and the whole Conan series - CJ
ReplyDeleteConan's a fun character, and Schwarzenegger was perfectly cast.
DeleteWhen this first came out Mr. M. couldn't wait to see it at the drive in. It is actually a good movie. However, I like the second one better with Grace Jones. Thanks for the memories.
ReplyDeleteYes, they were fun to see in the theater.
DeleteI never did see this. Not enough desire to see it now, I don't think. Too many other movies and shows that would get priority. ;)
ReplyDeleteI make time to re-watch this one lol
DeleteOh no! Not my film! Valerie
ReplyDeleteWe have different tastes lol
DeleteI've seen so many memes about this movie - mostly to mock Arnold. Mr Man does like Arnold's movies. I wonder how Arnold feels seeing this one.
ReplyDeleteThe evolution of Schwarzenegger has been fun to watch. He's said he'd do another Conan -an old version- if that ever happened, so I'm guessing he's proud of what he accomplished there.
DeleteI remember seeing this on TV.
ReplyDeleteFun!
DeleteYes I agree. This is a good watch. Not the best movie ever made, but certainly worth a couple of hours of your time.
ReplyDeleteNot everything can be Citizen Kane. And that's a good thing :)
DeleteOh my, I haven't seen these movies in decades and yes they are fun to watch 😊. I didn't know a third was scheduled but not made, I guess these movies propelled his career and he moved onto other things. Hugs, Jo x
ReplyDeleteHe has said he'd love to do another one -Conan as an old man after he'd had a full life. I'd pay to see that!
