As Conan seeks revenge on Thulsa Doom, he discovers the power of the ancient artifact known as the Horn of Doom, a symbol of Thulsa Doom’s magic and power. The film culminates in a final confrontation between Conan and Thulsa Doom, with Conan determined to avenge the death of his family and fulfill his destiny.Behind The Scenes Trivia: Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Iconic Role: Conan the Barbarian was a transformative role for Arnold Schwarzenegger, who had previously gained some fame as a bodybuilder and had appeared in a few films. However, Conan made him an international star, and he would go on to become one of Hollywood’s biggest action stars. Schwarzenegger’s role as Conan required him to undergo intense physical training to embody the character’s massive physique, but his acting chops were also pushed to the limit. Interestingly, Schwarzenegger didn’t have much dialogue in the film, with much of his performance relying on his physical presence and non-verbal expressions.John Milius’ Vision: Director John Milius was known for his larger-than-life approach to filmmaking, and Conan the Barbarian was no exception. Milius aimed to capture the grand scope of the Robert E. Howard stories and bring a more philosophical depth to the character of Conan. The film’s tone is stark and grim, influenced by Milius’ view of Conan as a Nietzschean antihero, someone driven by personal willpower and a desire for vengeance. Milius also wrote the screenplay for the film, which was heavily influenced by his personal philosophies. He imbued the film with themes of fate, strength, and the consequences of power, which contributed to the movie’s cult following and depth compared to many other sword-and-sorcery films of the time.Sandal Bergman and the Swordplay: Actress Sandahl Bergman, who played the fierce warrior Valeria, was known for doing many of her own stunts and fight scenes. In fact, Bergman’s impressive sword-fighting skills were highlighted throughout the film, and she went through rigorous training to achieve the level of combat prowess required for the role. One memorable scene in which she showcases her skills is a fight sequence between her character and a group of enemies. Bergman’s performance helped redefine the role of women in action films during the early '80s.The Physical Demands of the Film: Conan the Barbarian is notorious for its demanding action scenes and physical stunts, many of which were performed by the cast themselves. Schwarzenegger, already in peak physical condition, performed most of his own stunts, including sword fighting and horseback riding. However, one of the most infamous incidents occurred during a scene where Conan fights a giant snake. The crew was forced to work with a real snake, which led to several tense moments on set. Luckily, no one was seriously harmed during filming, but it created an atmosphere of discomfort and danger during production.Ask questions before purchase, we will do our best to oblige you.All photos of rare paper are actual items being soldMore than 30,000 un-restored original rare paper itemsOver one thousand linen backed
