Yeah, Mr. Moore, I imagine it must've been something of a cluster fuck to get the cams in the midst of the human throng and shoot all the appropriate angled shots of the mountainous backdrop
The way he was caught was he stole a jade medallion earlier in the movie and showed it to get in, instead of the pewter medallion the priest was actually wearing.
It's pretty simple, the priest he'd stolen the garb and medallion from was high-end and a known face. When Conan's face didn't 'match' he made enquiries with the high-end bodyguards and the rest if Conan getting captured. Pretty simple to see really my dude.
@@Hawthorne-Studios There's not one single thing that gave him away. His answer was made up (check out the side-eye on the priestess after he went by), the jade holy symbol was *literally* something stolen from a temple which Thorgrim was literally at, he kept waving the holy symbol around like a passcard rather than an actual holy symbol, the priest's face was known, as you said, and Conan just doesn't look like the rest of the priests (who were not terribly athletic folks). I genuinely can't think of anything he did right during this infiltration.
@@roguishpaladinyou’re being too harsh on a barbarian and thief for not being a deep thinker or sophisticated. Why can’t you just give him credit for being too dense to be a seduced zombie
When he says “Infinity “ that’s a pretty big word for a dude who grew up pushing a wheel. . And man, look how quick all those flower hippies turned violent! . Reminds me of my youth , trying to sneak up to the front row at Rock concerts.
He learns from scrolls he's given by his own slavemaster. You see him studying in the same scene right before they force a female slave into his caged den to breed with.

All the injuries were real too. Sven Ole Thorsen recovered from impalement to have parts in other Arnold movies while James Earl Jones recovered from a rather traumatic decapitation to star in Coming to America.
@@samworthy1257 Yep. He went so far back in time he went before the creation of the universe thus in the line between time into another universe and then onto an earth like fantasy world.
In this scene, Conan is like an undercover migrant with fake passports. He was stupid when he gave the customs officer a passport ,I mean the necklace.
Yeah...but this movie was put out in 1982, two full years before The Terminator was put out. Gotta admit, though-You definitely bring up a very interesting point. If Arnold's character had been a Terminator, he'd of just torn through all of Thulsa Doom's Snake Cult...and would've probably ripped Thulsa Doom's body clean in half!!!
Original uncut version: Priestess: "What do you see?" Conan: "my enemies crushed and driven before me, and the lamentations of their women!" Priestess: "Goo-no, wait: you can see - not hear - the lamentations of their women?" Conan: "Uh, infinity then!" Priestess: "Good!"
The Score to this scene and the orgy scene as a kid was epic ,even the tower of set. One of my childhood favorite movies. 😍 When the two march down the steps.......EPIC
His interaction with the priest he robbed...such deliberate queer coding. I watched this movie for the first time when I was a kid and didn't realize that until very much an adult. You really get it from how the priest eyes him up and down. Conan knows it and plays on the interest: "I'm afraid. I'm shy." The priest is rocked by rough trade; a story as old as time apparently.
...and, with those physiques, they don't even need bodyguards. They're their own security, complete with Sword and Mallet! Ol' Thorgrim especially! Him swinging that Mallet around, knocking over a huge Pillar, when Conan, Subotai, and Valeria launched a three-prong attack, proves my point. This guy was definitely "Swinging for the fences"! If he'd of hit anybody with that huge Mallet, he'd of crushed 'em right off, no problem!!!
Everything blew his cover 😆. He sticks out like a sore thumb, this huge guy casually striding through the crowd, stepping over people, making a beeline to the top. Then, he gives the wrong answer, the correct one being "EMPTINESS!" (you can see Conan knows he goofed when Doom shouts that word😳). And, most idiotically, showing off the stolen symbol, which let's them know that in addition to being an imposter, he's *also* guilty of raiding their tower. Total disaster. Conan sorely needed the sneaky guidance of Subotai and Valeria.
Maybe the followers of Thulsa Doom had super-sharp hearing! Seems to me, that that would have had to have been the case. It does make for an interesting topic, though.
@@jmwoods190 Thulsa Doom was a Cult Leader, possessed by evil, and able to actually turn himself into a Snake...but, in the end, he was only a human being...that being evidenced by Conan cutting off his head.
@@Nomamegoogle I think you just hit the nail on the head! There are a load of different "Religions, Sects, and Cults" to become involved in nowadays. You can either pick one...or be yourself, and stay home. I choose to be myself, and stay home.
You're right. Conan was a few steps behind in terms of planning. A real genius is always several moves ahead of the game, and Conan didn't exactly get that far.
Yeah, Valerie Quennessen ( I think that's how her surname was spelled??) She was killed years ago in a car crash in her native France. Tragically so in her early 30s. I remember reading about it when it occurred on a rural type highway. She had a little girl....probably mid 30s now??
why does conan look shocked when thulsa doom asks "who will not face emptiness?" was emptiness the right answer instead of infinity? why did he look shocked as if he was found out right there?
No, the stygian god Set, who was worshipped in ancient times by the serpent people of Old Valusia, before they got almost wiped out. Since then, Set found a new home within the dark temples and pyramids of Stygia, where he plots in the darkness to eradicate mankind eventually, and return the rule of the snakes! That Set!
As a member of the rl Temple of Set, I can assure you that this is merely a Hollywood coincidence in screenplay. We would never worship an individual this way, but each of us has the same ego desires as Thulsa Doom. These people are poor quality servants. Basically, slaves.
The Mountain Of Power Scene Reminds Me Of Tabletop DnD. This Is What You Should Mentally Envision When The DM Is Perfectly Describing What's Going As You Try To Infiltrate The Temple Of Set. Tabletop DnD Is Cool.

@@josephsheranda So where was this outrage during the recent Star Wars movies which borrow quite a bit of iconography from the Nazis for the First order/Empire? I'm sorry mate, but I think you've been duped by too much manufactured outrage.
How silly of conan to parade around the object he had stolen from the temple of Set.. Thulsa's men though generally stupid had enough sense to know that rhe object had no business to be out side the temple and that too being used as a shibboleth
I like how Arnold let’s out his trademark “arghh, arghh” as the mob is carrying him away.
Hollywood was so concerned with his accent they dubbed him over for Hercules but it’s hammy nature is what endeared fans to him in the long run
No actors can reproduce the aura of Conan like Arnold did
I think jason momoa was a very fitting figure for conan, but his conan movie's script was basically crap.
“I need your cape, your robe and your hat! Give them to me!”
Where's Thulsa Doom's Mountain of Power?? Give me address!!
You forgot to say “please”
Im GAY. And you?

Hahahahahahhha! You forgot to say please.
Good god the music score to this film deserved an Oscar.
made me think of Ben-Hur's score a bit
ET the Extra-Terrestrial win
My absolute favorite
Indeed
This is my favorite movie score ever!
James Earl Jones has the most distinguished iconic voice of all times.
Most definitely
He won two Tony awards as theater actor. One of the greatest with Lawrence Oliver.
And now that voice will live on for eternity in his films. R.I.P., legend.
