Conan the Barbarian (1982) Full Length Reaction
Added 2024-03-23 13:59:41 +0000 UTCArnie's back and this time he's got a sword! This is probably the most fantasy Arnie movie I've seen yet. Great music, big muscles, Darth villain, there was a lot going on in this movie! Anyone interested in Conan the Destroyer?

2024-03-30 01:01:21 +0000 UTCApparently, there are different cuts of this, so I'm not sure which one you have. The theatrical is 126 minutes but some home video, dvd and blu ray releases are at other lengths, ranging from 115 minutes to 131 minutes. If you're streaming it on a place like Amazon Prime, it should be the theatrical cut, but just a heads up for those who want to sync their copy.

2024-03-29 19:11:57 +0000 UTCThere's a commercial around here for a place called Four Winds Casino. Every time - every... time... that it comes on, I hear Conan in my head, saying "Ha. Crom laughs at your four winds"

2024-03-29 19:02:58 +0000 UTCDisappointed that nobody commented that this is not based upon a comic. Conan is based upon a series of short stories and novels started in the 1930's by Robert E. Howard. Technically predates comics as we know them, certainly as Marvel and DC evolved comics later on in the 40's. Marvel picked up the Conan character and ran some comics about him later on in the 70's.

2024-03-25 09:37:07 +0000 UTCWell... Red Sonja is sort of an "unofficial" Conan movie :) (character licensing rights and all)

2024-03-25 01:06:15 +0000 UTCThere were so many films in the 80s that were either trying to copy this story or used it as inspiration. Some are just plain bad and others are quite enjoyable. You should definitely watch Destroyer and Red Sonja! Less violence so you can have more of a good time with the cheese lol

2024-03-24 20:59:25 +0000 UTCI would recommend the sequel and Red Sonja. Sure they’re not as good but I think you’d love the music just the same. I especially love Red Sonja’s music, scored by Ennio Morricone!

2024-03-24 14:29:20 +0000 UTCConan!!.."What is best in life?" :D

2024-03-24 10:54:46 +0000 UTCThe way Jen said FANTASTIC reminded me of the MAD TV sketch: Terminator 2: The Super FANTASTIC Musical with Arnold, Rebecca Romijn and Jason Alexander🤣🤣
Carlos Perez
2024-03-24 05:29:56 +0000 UTCAs much as I love this movie - Conan the Destroyer and the often-mentioned Red Sonia (which isn't a Conan movie) aren't there in terms of quality, pacing, and importance.

2024-03-24 04:18:38 +0000 UTCConan the Destroyer and then Red Sonja are the other 2 conan movies. They did a re-make of this movie with Jason Momoa that was pretty good.

2024-03-24 04:17:51 +0000 UTCThe creator of Conan, Robert E Howard, wasn't writing comics. He created this character in the 1930's and published his stories in pulp magazines. He's sort of a tragic figure. I worked post production years ago on a biographical movie starring Vincent D'Onofrio as Howard, and Rene Zellweger. It's a small independent movie before Rene's breakout role in Jerry Maguire. It might be worth it to check it out if someone wants to learn more about him.

2024-03-24 03:18:14 +0000 UTC"Fire of her loins'" Conan has it all, swords, sorcery, music, warriors, ladies.....even some mythology thrown in. A real mindblower for a 12 year old I can tell you!

2024-03-24 02:23:18 +0000 UTCMy wife, and I just got the 4K Blu-ray of this a few weeks back, super excited to rewatch!

2024-03-24 00:48:19 +0000 UTCIt's been years since I've watch this film. Now I get to watch it with my favorite reaction specialist. Were you a barbarian you would wield a mighty club for mighty head clunkies

2024-03-23 23:05:56 +0000 UTCA little over 20 years ago, a good friend returned from LA having hung out with Basil Poledouris in his studio. Yep: jealous!
David Olden
2024-03-23 22:49:54 +0000 UTCWhat is best in life? A full length movie reaction, scored by Basil Poledouris!

2024-03-23 22:37:38 +0000 UTCDestroyer is a little bit more PG-13 than this one, and like others have said - a lot more cheese, but I think it's the good kind of cheese. Still very entertaining, even just from Arnie + the art design is still really cool - and of course, Basil Poledouris returns with another banging score :) Destroyer was the first sequel movie that Arnie ever did, but because it didn't really perform so well he famously refused to do any other sequels (hence the "No chance" at the end of Commando)... at least until Terminator 2 came along. Conan was actually a series of short stories long before it was a comic - written back in the 1930s by a troubled man named Robert E Howard. I'd recommend reading them for sure, they aren't very long. The first one actually starts near the end of Conan's tale, when he's already a king - it's called the Phoenix in the Sword and it has some awesome writing in it. Howard's Conan has a quite different backstory to Arnie's one, but this movie still captures the atmosphere of the world, I think.

2024-03-23 22:16:21 +0000 UTCAlso one of my favourite scores

2024-03-23 21:22:21 +0000 UTCConan The Destroyer tends to be mocked and unliked by most, but I think it's decently fun. Perhaps not for the right reasons, with it being extra cheesy, but even if it's kinda bad, it's still fun.

2024-03-23 20:34:02 +0000 UTCI figured out a new code name for Jen after this reaction. Jen The Head Clonker.

2024-03-23 19:42:20 +0000 UTCOne of my fave Arnold movies, The Terminator of course made him a superstar but this film made him a name and got him noticed!

2024-03-23 19:05:02 +0000 UTCWhen this released on video, I watched it with my father who is a big fan of body building. The whole starting battle scene he kept pointing out other body builders and talking about them. :D

2024-03-23 18:36:36 +0000 UTCThis movie is in my top 5 all time favorite movies. I saw it at the drive-in when it released. I was only 12, but my mother and I loved it, and stayed thru the second feature to watch it again. I have literally watched this movie over 100 times since then, and have listened to the awesome soundtrack possibly twice as much. I do not care for the director cut or the sequels or remake, but I never get tired of this one. So much epicness, and epic quotable lines. Max Von Sydow (RIP) has my favorite lines of the whole movie. His speech about his love for his daughter is so epically performed.

2024-03-23 18:31:39 +0000 UTCPlease watch Destroyer. It's so bad, but it's so FUN!! Cheesy as hell, but you've said you like cheesy.

2024-03-23 15:27:10 +0000 UTCI've somehow never seen Conan before so i'm looking forward to seeing this.
Patrick
2024-03-23 14:59:43 +0000 UTCI know what I'm watching tonight! Conan the Destroyer is alright but doesn't quite live up to the sequel but it's worth a look.

2024-03-23 14:33:45 +0000 UTCI played in orchestra up to College! :)
Jen M
2024-03-23 14:25:30 +0000 UTCTo all of Jen’s fans a quick question: Is Jen a professional musician in an orchestra? I’ve been watching her STNG and a bunch of movie reactions and she seems to know so much about orchestra and music in general. It’s a great detail that other reactors just don’t have. As for this movie I love it and can’t wait to watch her reaction. I grew up with it and I’m sure it had an influence on my imagination and fantasy film in general.

2024-03-23 14:23:29 +0000 UTCAwesome Jen awesome one last reaction before I head out the country 🙌 definitely yes to Conan the destroyer ( well as you know my No1 rule if Jen asks a question the answer is yes ) 😀 I'm sure going to miss watching you next week so will treasure every moment of this reaction 🫶
Ian
2024-03-23 14:04:21 +0000 UTCWell, yes, you GOTTA do Conan the Destroyer and Red Sonja!! 🤓, can't wait to watch this! To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you and hear the lamentations of their women! (All in perfect Arnie accent) 🤣🤣
