I love how this film ends with an emotional fight rather than just an action fueled battle, to the point that the last moments of the movie, not a single word is spoken, yet you understand what's happening and everything that Conan is thinking. Such a philosophical way to end what's considered an action movie.
Thulsa Doom hypnotized Conan mother before killing her. He tried to do the same here with Conan, but failed... Nice beginning and nice ending... Anyone noticed this?
@@Konrad_Wallenrod Doom was wrong and always was, which is why he lost his head. Conan would go on to more adventures, meeting more companions and getting his own kingdom.
He trully believed himself to be a god, the great leader, the almighty ... "who is this Barbarian standing against my great power, threatened me, what daring, what outrageouness..." that`s why he has no fear. Then Conan fucked him up badly.
It's brilliant the way Conan hesitates because the words of Thulsa. Yeah, you can think is magic or something but there is a much simpler explanation. Thulsa is right in his words, Conan went to that point thanks to him, killing his parents and destroying his culture made him the person he is now and after breaking his father sword (the riddle of steel for Conan's father) he has nothing left to belive now. So he is tempted to belive in Thulsa. And in the most important day of his existence in which he can finally choose, he kills the second fake riddle of steel: religion. Loosing the fear to nothingness.
Bas. Poledouris'(1945‐2006), soundtrack is one of the best, 25-30 years,after the golden era of the great Hollywood 'symphonists', like Miklós Rosza & E. W. Korngold. A magnificent score of epic proportions,which deserved,in my opinion an academy award. The combined use of symph.orchestra & choruses, gives the music almost the character of a cantata. I dare to compare it to Sergei Prokofiev's "Alexander Nyevsky",(1938), which was initially composed as a movie score!
Star Trek II, The Road Warrior, The Thing, Blade Runner and CONAN in the same fuckin summer... summer 82 chops the head off every movie summer before or since
Fun fact: John Milius initially wrote this scene as the ending for Apocalypse Now where Martin Sheen kills Marlon Brando, but Coppola didn't like it, so he used it for Conan.
The Apocalypse Now script I remember reading had Brando's character dying after a last major battle with the North Vietnamese. But as Brando was so completely out of shape they couldn't pass him off as the "ultimate warrior" they went with "ultimate decadent" who Sheen's character kills.
This scene is magnificent. Conan kills the leader of cult and proves steel is still powerful, and all those cult followers are weak, individually and in mass. Conan is ubermensch who makes his own rules and bows to no one, not like those cult sheep heard. Conan even says to Crom to go to hell. He confronts fearlessly all of them, humans and deities, and is not afraid. How many real life humans can fearlessly confront majority and millenniums old beliefs? Not many. And that is why I love the philosophical undertone of Milius' master work. Basil Poledouris is musical collaborator you could only dream about, he gives to 100% great film additional 100% quality and epicness. I love both Milius and Poledouris.
+Sam Packinpah was a classical composer Poledouris was a genius. He was the line between a farcical spoof and a serious commentary in the film Starship Troopers. One of his best scores, (along with this!)
MusabreGames I will check it right now, my orchestral music compatriot, there is not many of us, just like there is not many Conans or Milius' or Poledouris'. We are rare birds and dying species.
+MusabreGames I am at 17th part of 30 part soundtrack for Starship Troopers and I can attest to your words - it is a mastery of music and orchestration! The part that took my attention the most was part 11 ''Punishment and Asteroid Gazing'', I have listened it 3 times in a row. Listen his soundtrack for ''Flesh and Blood'' and especially number called ''Box''.
Sam Packinpah was a classical composer I shall do! I havent heard those ones myself. I hope I'm not a dying breed, I'm only 27! ;P haha. Powerful orchestration is easily my favourite music genre. I remember movies more for their scores than the scenes often times! Cheers.
+MusabreGames I am 37 and from 1980's I have payed attention to film music while watching films. I am the great film fan and talent for music, talent never realized because of wars in Yugoslavia. I have absolute pitch and compose using my voice, I never had any musical schooling instead of basic primary school one.
As a history buff, this film is more accurate to the spirit of ancient history than 99% of so called historical films. This is what the environment of the old world was like before the rise of "ordered" Western Civilization. Whilst in the east this was civilization.
I am old enough that I saw this in the theater as a kid, and I still remember when Conan threw James Earl Jones' head down the stairs somebody in the back of the theater yelled out "gutterball!'
This a great scene. I love how it calls back the scene in the beginning where Doom killed Conan's mother after putting her under a thrall, and shows how Cocan overcame that.
At least we finally got the full version on DVD. It has to be said that the removal of the princess from the final scenes was not a good move and the way they did it was a bit clunky. Also I wonder why they did it, was it because of her blatent "I`m yours, do whatever you want with me" attitude. Except of course Conan, who is still morning for Valeria isn`t interested and just takes her home to dad. (Though I think that he`s been murdered by that point, though perhaps that`s another scene they cut?)
Having him take the Princess would explain his Kingship. I'm pretty sure that was part of the original intention, that and that both of them are the "Orphans of Doom." Lots of symbology here. Unfortunately, they cut her out completely. Some have mentioned that it feels a little off to them thematically (if you read the other posts in this thread).
Right hand: steel is strong (...this you can trust) Left hand: flesh is strong ( what is steel compared to the hand that wields it?) Both end up in the floor. (Crom forgets the riddle of steel in the battlefield) THE HERO is stronger. THE HERO has become GOD.
You know I never thought about it before, but at the end Conan has achieved everything he said at the start was best in life, has crushed his enemies, he saw them driven before him when Thulsa Doom ran after his warriors were butchered and now at the end as he kills doom he hears the lamentations of the women (and men for that matter) as his followers wail... and it's hollow, nothing he burns the temple and leaves, what was really best in life Valeria, Subotai, the crazy old wizard, kinship, comradery, love... without it what really is victory? I guess it really is about the friends we make along the way.
Have you seen the scene that was deleted from the theatrical release? The one where he speaks to Subotai, after Valeria's cremation, and before the battle with Thulsa's goons? When the warlord asked Conan what was best in life, Conan was not free, and he answered based on what his life was... pitiless combat. When Conan spoke to Subotai, he remembered picking blueberries in the forest with his father. He was no longer interested in fighting just for the sake of combat. He fought when he had to, to avenge what was taken, and also, it prevented Thulsa Doom robbing any more young boys of their childhoods.
Conan proved Thulsa Doom and his father wrong solving the riddle of steel, its neither the strength of steel nor flesh that is needed but the willpower to overcome these obstacles. Conan demonstrates the proof of this by taking Dooms head.
Es ist wirklich erstaunlich, dass in der deutschen Version von Conan the Barbarian nicht ein einziges mal Set, der Schlangengott erwähnt wird, obwohl dieses ja in der amerikanischen Originalfassung (wie hier gesehen bzw. gehört) vorkommt. So denkt man als Nicht-Kenner der Arbeiten von Robert E. Howard (und das war ich damals, als ich den Film in den 80er zum ersten Mal sah), dass Thulsa Doom "nur" ein Anführer einer von ihm selbst erschaffenen Sekte wäre. Tatsächlich ist er aber der Hohepriester des Set. Die Moral von der Geschicht': Guckt auf jeden Fall die Originalfassung, wenn ihr den ganzen Film verstehen wollt :)
I've seen this movie at least 15 times, probably more like 25+, and I never caught the full ending until I watched this clip, so I didn't see the princess at the end bowing to him. It really changes the story, although if I had seen this ending, the first time at the theaters, I would have been expecting the next movie to be super great too, and of course we got 'Conan the Destroyer' and it was HORRIBLE. Sometimes I wonder what the penalty was for ruining this epic story on film. The 2011 one looked so horrible, in the trailer, didn't even watch it.
great film. remember going to watch it and being blown away. great cast, sound track. not an Arny fan, but he was destined to play this part. shame about the follow up, destroyer was awful.
The 1982 original theatre release and '80s-'90s vhs videos of the movie did not have the scenes of the princess towards the last 10 mins of the film.Only on collector edition DVD and Blu Ray.
I think we need a Conan more than ever. In actual society, too much people are spitting on heritage, past and valor. People are becoming weak in the occidental world.
Kian Kafai if Trump doesn't screw Conan, he doesn't Care. Conan is free of all political concepts. Conan is not leftist or rightist. He is a Wolf in a world of dogs.
Had that one on VHS too bad I cant find it today. it would have been a good alternative as I thought it moved the revenge story forward better than the extended one.
+Jagreen Lern I googled this a few days ago. The theatrical version although hard to find is part of special edition dvd buys. I like the extended for the better character development but the theatrical really had a better pace and it's a simple A to B
I actually have the Original from, of all places, Google's Playstore. In fact, I just compared the two to make sure. No princess. Personally, I prefer the original as well, as I find it to he more nihilistic and, ironically, to make more sense. It's more emotionally powerful.
Conan used flesh and steel to win this. He used the princess (flesh) as a distraction to the guards while he cut their throats (with steel.) Flesh is weak by itself, and so is steel. You need both.
I read in the trivia section in IMDB that some people consider this movie as racist because a Germanic actor kills a black guy playing a villain. I really hope that’s not true and no one is stupid enough to think that.
I love how Conan just holds up the head to the group, showing that Doom was human. Then he tosses the sword. He says nothing, just letting his deeds speak for themselves
No magic is strong enough to break the bond of a sons love for his father. The steel fulfilled its last job for the honor of his family. The dropping of the half sword confirms it. Freedom is seeing the people released from their spell and the evil ended.
nella mia vita da appassionato cinefilo, due soli films mi hanno rapito per storia, immagini e musica, uno è Blade Runner, l'altro è questo.. entrambi musicati da greci, Vangelis e Poledouris..
The fact that a black actor could play the role of such a badass villain was a vote of confidence in black people imho. Nowadays black villains are rare. Though James Earl Jones acting style is in the classical style and transcends colour.
You're right and it's not. Some people just have an axe to grind. All over YT movies, you see people whining about PC or politics or whatever. It's like they can't even enjoy the movies.
I wish Arnold could finish the story of Conan how Conan became King Conan, this movie was a masterpiece and it shows you also how Reptilians shapeshifters are real and I'm sure they do exist in this world controlling people
when I was a kid I didn't know about illuminati symbolism, but now that I see this movie as an adult I noticed all kind of symbolism, in particular the symbol of the snake they worship. I'm sure Ron cobb who designed all the sets and props was trying to say something.

James Earl jones deserved more credit for his performance in this film classic.
James Earl Jones: You are my son.
Luke: cries like a baby.
Conan: Chops off his fuckin' head.
hahahhaha had me in stitches reading this!
ethereal melody
"Slaanesh-worshipping" haha, quite accurate. Also God Emperor of Mankind kinda looks like Conan. Long hair and square jaw.
Enough talk!
Lion king roars like a fucking beast
The OST for this movie is fantastic, Basil did a marvellous job with it.
Absolut
The most underrated movie ever,its a true masterpiece.
Thulsa Doom hypnotized Conan mother before killing her. He tried to do the same here with Conan, but failed... Nice beginning and nice ending... Anyone noticed this?
That's pretty much what happened... in the book.
Did you noticed that Conan did not hypnotised because the relationship with his father in his mind is perfect?
Conan's will power overcame the magic
Correct 💯, Conan's Willpower could not be broken
That might be the true answer to the Riddle of Steel.
If it is, I'd say that Crom is proud, high on his mountain.
If this was made today it would be all "over the top" CGI and special effects and about 1% of the emotion.
Different Music true.
They did a remake and it was exactly that
I love how Conan just sits on the steps after Doom's demise, contemplating what to do next.
Doom was right about one thing 😁
To me it seemed he could finally just BE
@@veronikahk1826 Well put!
No, I think he is finally mourning his loss of his family and Valería
@@Konrad_Wallenrod Doom was wrong and always was, which is why he lost his head. Conan would go on to more adventures, meeting more companions and getting his own kingdom.
The shear power of the music made for this film is unbelivable. Basil poledouris really made a masterpice.
R.I.P. Basil Poledouris.
I always loved how Thalsa Doom keep it cool when he sees Conan up there.
He was the perfect bad guy!
he tried the old Im your father trick again here, but that shit dont work against Conan !:)
highjim damn near did tho
He trully believed himself to be a god, the great leader, the almighty ... "who is this Barbarian standing against my great power, threatened me, what daring, what outrageouness..." that`s why he has no fear. Then Conan fucked him up badly.
Thulsa...
Arnold was born for this role, it’s a classic and every time I see it on tv I have to watch it again
Very similar with his life....
The riddle of the steel was answered, not the sword, not the man.. only the will of the warrior.
This film is a timeless classic!! Brilliant!!
Turning 40 next year
Turning 42 next year.

Is, not was.
love the music of basil poledouris. amazing and underrated composer.
The music in this movie is fantastic
It makes me sad, I want to cry. One of the best soundtrack of all movies. Love this movie.
James Earl Jones is everybody father! lol
but this time didnt work

Thulsa had hypnotic powers.
The problem with that is that the very person he kills was teaching people that nothingness is true.
I wonder if Doom got Rexor and Thorgrim under similar circumstances, and Conan would be a replacement.

I love how manipulative thulsa Doom was when he said "...who gave you the will to live?".
after throwing the head away he dropped the mic, i love it
I wish Arnold could finish the story of Conan how Conan became King Conan, this movie was a masterpiece and it shows you also how Reptilians shapeshifters are real and I'm sure they do exist in this world controlling people
when I was a kid I didn't know about illuminati symbolism, but now that I see this movie as an adult I noticed all kind of symbolism, in particular the symbol of the snake they worship. I'm sure Ron cobb who designed all the sets and props was trying to say something.
David vs goliath🐍🐍🐊🐊
that decaptiation scene still its the best in cinema today. amazing movie.
Old movie are the best, no theology,
Conan's stealth stat is pretty good for a warrior. :P
He is a warrior, a thief, a barbarian, a pirate, ect.
He has more than one talent.
Il meglio di tutto
