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.
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.
@@CyberWorx whatever u gonna say but the sequel couldnt be better than this one, will say Conan's action and impressions has much more superiority than before or any other fantasy movies of todays
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.

Agreed Donald.. No surprise that this section of the intro 2:33 - 2:52 is actually lifted from the soundtrack to the first movie. This one is good, but the first one is EPIC!
EPIC !!! my Dad recorded this when i was LittLe... now i just have to Reminisc it... NevertheLess... cannot stop Laughing with all the acting & conversations !!!!!... if they were going to (ever) make a remake... it would be very very hard... because this movie is briLLiant... was epic for 1984... OMG i still enjoy it even now !!! YES for ALL the Actors & Actresses in this Movie !!!
Between the years when the oceans drank Atlantis and the rise of the sons of Aryas, there was an age undreamed of. And unto this, Conan, destined to wear the jeweled crown of Aquilonia upon a troubled brow. It is I, his chronicler, who alone can tell thee of his saga. Now let me tell you of the days of high adventure!
Crom would laugh more at 2011's 'Conan' with Jason Momoa, although I personally like it, being a hardcore fan of R.E. Howards's most known character...
Funny how Mako's intro dialogue the the Destroyer is spoken all kind of leisurely & casual, like he's Conans best bud now. In the Barbarian's intro he spoke like in pure awe of Conan. Hehehe! Half hearted observation there guys :-)
Mako was just kinda phoning it in for that intro. Sounds like they recorded him reading it out loud for the very first time and thought "Yup, okay that works" and tacked it on to the front of the movie

@kunskapgermakt Actually it's the complete opposite. He hated the performance of this score, but the main titles were particularly disappointing. The players just couldn't get it right, so he figured that the film's sound FX would at least hide the mistakes. But that wouldn't be possible on a soundtrack album, so he didn't want this performance released at all. Ironically there's now going to be a complete release of this score next year, so this music will be out as well.
Back when music made you Want to pick up a sword and take on the foulest creatures that roamed the land, while heroicly riding on your horse to adventures new 😎
"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 RUclipsr 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.
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.
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.

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
Epic opening soundtrack, isn't it? Still miles ahead and above most sh!t that comes out of that cesspool called Hollywood these days... But, alas, the music is a bit too fast. When I hear it, I feel like J.K. Simmon's "Whiplash" character and say "not quite my tempo". I guess it reflects the new nature of the film, more of a typical 80's action romp and less of a true dark, gritty, deep and heavy sword & sandal orchestral-like classic like the first. But it's a shame, isn't it? The first Conan is - IMO - one of the greatest films ever made and an absolutely timeless classic with what is probably the most powerful soundtrack of all time and this second movie, while still good and enjoyable, is not nearly on the same level. The music also reflects that. It is just that tad bit too fast, much like the action itself. Even Mako's speech is delivered a bit too fast. Notice the riders during the intro... it's as if they were sped up in post production. It is no surprise, then, that for me the best part of this music is when they show the riders in slow motion (at about 1:25 minutes in). The music also slows down a bit and the camera work improves dramatically. I love the slow-mo slide-shots of that 1:25 to 2:20 period, showcasing some very good shots and sounds of that regal-looking and noble animal that graciously let itself be domesticated: the horse. But even during that small inter-piece of the music, the tempo is still too fast. I tried listening to it all in 0.75 speed - as RUclips allows - but then it becomes too slow. I guess that the right tempo would be at around 0.80 to 0.85. The music would sound a lot more epic and consequentially have a lot more gravitas. The movie itself could do without the buffoonish characters (oh, Subotai! You are sorely missed!), without the comic relief, without the cartoonish 2D character development and should have more grit and depth. A missed opportunity, it seemed, but I guess it stemmed from the unfair and unfounded criticism that the almost flawless first film got at the time (the film was far ahead [or perhaps behind?] of its time. It still is). The story itself is not bad. It's not exactly WHAT was made but more HOW it was made that I have a personal gripe with. Well... just my two cents, worth exactly that and never more.
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!
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!
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
1. Crom rewarded Conan for his brazen conviction in the last movie. 2. Even if your God doesn't answer your prayers very often, they still deserve your reverence. 3. He's likely praying for Valeria, his lost love.

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.
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.
At 2:33 close your eyes and just listen, I swear brings me back to the 80's when life was good
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

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
They dont make them like they used to. Soundtrack is epic as usual by 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.

That priceless whip sound at 2:18 !
The best part in my opinion... :)
子供のときから、ビデオテープで繰り返し見てました👍
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.
Man this is still my all time favorite movie. The theme song unreal!

puts goosebumps on ya listening to this
No fue tan buena como el bárbaro pero si , buena pelicula
The perfect transition of music with the first appearance of the hero.
the intro and the theme is far good then many of the sword & sorcery film. Basil poledouris has done really good always

I love this film especially the theme but I loved the VHS quality better makes it more grainy and gritty I think it looks more realistic that way
Arnold Schwarzenegger and Grace Jones should have done more films together they are a perfect match
*The Original Masterpiece on so many Levels!* Its A shame They didn't keep going w/ this 1 & only passionate take!
Clássico
2:33 its like the director just went 'yea we all know why you are watching this- the music and the body'
So epic too!
When I look at that holy mountain...my heart starts to run...
even this less liked conan sequel is hundred time better than movies today lol
honestly the sequel of Conan the barbarian couldnt be better than this one Destroyer, image of an adventurer perfectly depicted

Un regreso fugaz ami adolecencia q buenos tiempis aquellos donde uno se sentia indestructible
Pq esses filmes eram melhores sem toda a tecnologia que temos hoje??? que raiva cara... Não fazem mais a galera viajar na história do filme...
Antes havia inspiração nos gigantes do passado, hoje o intuito é só uma venda relâmpago para um público que de tudo aceita.
Antigamente as trilhas era melhores e marcantes como essa do Conan, a do Rambo tbm é boa,Superman, Robocop,...
Hoje não temais isso.
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!
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
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
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.
why does Conan pray when he knows Crom doesnt listen?
1. Crom rewarded Conan for his brazen conviction in the last movie.
2. Even if your God doesn't answer your prayers very often, they still deserve your reverence.
3. He's likely praying for Valeria, his lost love.
Because the screenwriters had obviously never read a Robert Howard Conan story.
From 1:25 to 2:19 is the best part of this soundtrack.
