"Let me tell you the tales of high adventure" ..........2007-09-07

Arnold Schwarenegger was always larger than life for me. He was a man who could do and say anything, climb the highest mountains, fight the demons, have good triumph over evil, and become king. Not just in the movies, but in real life (winning a Mr. Universe title, become an action movie star, marry into the Kennedy family, and later become governor of California). This was the movie that shot him into the stratosphere, where he's more or less been ever since.

In a time between the fall of Atlantis and the rise of modern civilization is when this (as just about all) fantasy film begins. Conan would be taken as a slave from a simple farming town as a boy, imprisoned for years, then become a powerful warrior who would avenge James Earl Jones for murdering his family. Arnold was brand new, and he was pumped to perfection having just won a Mr.Universe title. Couple that in with special effects, watching him run around in loin clothes, action and revenge type storyline, and he rode this hit to fame and fortune.

The sequal, Conan the Destroyer, however, left audiences a little lacking. I think they were disappointed with the campy humor put into the second one deliberatly. The addition of Alec the bumbling fool / comic foil, Grace Jones with her shemale warrior freaky, and Wilt Chamberlin was funny, in an odd sort of way. If anything I thought this movie ebbed and flowed a lot better than the first one, as I found the first to be dull and boring in several places.

My biggest regret in this series is that there was never a third made, or however many sequals required to see Conan crowned as king. I would have liked to have seen him achieve his success at long last.

I HATE double sided disks!!!.......2007-03-29

I like these movies (and unlike most, actually like the Destroyer better), but was very disappointed in the packaging. I just hate double sided disks, for one. Would it have been too much effort to put each movie on its own disk?
I also was not pleased with the letterbox version of the Destroyer either.
Movies are great, though, if you like the sword and sorcery thing.

Real men watch this!!!.......2007-03-12

Conan - The Complete Quest (Conan The Barbarian/The Destroyer) is a great movie for any mans colection. You get to see all the blood that they don't show on t.v. when they show this movie.
