My father recorded me this movie back in the '90 on a VHS, but he cut off the sex scenes with the witch and Valeria, for I was only a child. As I was 20 I went back to watch that tape, and I noticed something was "missing"; After having dowloaded the full version I realized whats it was😂
Before CGI, before Marvel, before Disney took over every franchise, there was a movie called "Conan the Barbarian" where men were men and movies inspired beyond all imagination.
@@matthewjenkins4559 Wtf are you talking about? Anime existed long before this movie came out. Also, fun fact: Marvel Comics published the ''Savage Sword of Conan'' comics back in the 70's who were so successful and made Conan more popular then before. Without the success of these comics, this movie wouldn't have been made.
@@doublep1980 I read those comics, but the point is Disney didn't fu**ing put their slimy hands on it yes we are aware of Marvel publishing Conan. Thanks for the info.
This is probably among the greatest movie openings of all time. No dialogue, only a quick word by the narrator and watching a sword get forged to a song that makes you feel like you could wrestle a bear.
This is my childhood, along with Star Wars, Star Trek and Godzilla. Bring on King Conan. Let Arnold shine one last, greatest time. Let him wear the jeweled crown of Aquilonia upon a troubled brow!
I want to see it but at the same time not because I’m worried what they would to the movie by adopting it for a "modern" audience. We saw enough of our heroes die on the big screen (Luke, Terminator) let Conan, sit on the high mountains and laugh with Crome.
How to make an intro legendary : 1 - a damn manly chronicler voice on an epic speech of high adventure 2 - a forever legendary music that will best the best orchestras for centuries 3 - a yet, still simple black blackgroung on how it shows that the making quality of the sword will forge the adventurer a lone wolf ... Rip the 80s and 90s. I am born in the 80s and will be proud to h 1:26 ave known these gems
In the early 80's as an escape artist, I used to escape from a Strait jacket to this music. My Rottweiler was named Anvil of Crom. He was the best dog I ever had.
Just before I started listening to heavy metal back in September 1989, I had watched Conan The Barbarian for the first time. Days of high adventure had begun. 🗡️🎸✨
whenever i do "Manly things" like fixing my motor bike. or working out. or even just cutting wood. i play this theme on my mp3 with damn good speakers.... and feel like i'm conquering the world
Thank god someone who made this connection. Samurai Jack like VERBATIM has taken from this movie lol, in so many instances. Especially the 3 Archers episode
I wish I could watch this intro for the first time again. I was like 7 or 8, my dad had no filter as to what movies I could watch lol so there I was...in awe at the drums and melted steel...I think I carried a sword for like a year from then on
I did read somewhere that originally they wanted Ennio Morricone for the Conan soundtrack, it didn’t happen, but later he did the soundtracks to Red Sonja and Hundra . 👍🇬🇧
Amo tanto essa música me emociono tanto lembro de tudo q já suportei nesta vida sofrida cada batalha cada perda cada vitória vou tentar arranjar a partitura e pagar um violinista pra executar está melodia no meu aniversário de 50 anos mto massa
If you are interested, I have a video series on the movie on my channel. The first two analyse this scene. Skip the first 3 minutes of the first video (it's just an introduction).
This is the best movie soundtrack next to the StarWars and the original Superman. They just don't make them like this anymore. Heck...they don't movies this good anymore. Except for Comic book movies, but in that regard the best stories have been done already.
This is my morning out of bed into action music for the foreseeable future. My jawline just sharpened, my swagger just got swaggier. The next women I see who is a 7+ is going on my shoulder.
Nostalgia recuerdos de mi infancia son mios ,son nuestros en cada momento de la vida seguir luchando auque esten dificiles les deseo lo mejor defiandanse se q la vida es dura sigamos luchando 👍🏻❤❤bendiciones 🙏🏽

They need to do a study measuring testosterone levels before and after listening to this song. This song could qualify as a PED, or at the very least an ergogenic aid.
There may have been a Norman named Conan, but it's an Irish name. Conán, which means "little wolf" or "little hound" from Irish cú "wolf, hound" combined with a diminutive suffix. Conan creator Robert E. Howard doubtless chose it for that very reason, as he was an ardent Celtophile. Most of his fictional heroes were of Irish or highland Scottish origin, and in his fictional "Hyborian Age" history, his Conan's people, the Cimmerians, are the ancestors of the Gaels of Ireland.

DRUMMING INTENSIFIES!
Sons of Arius...Not Aryas....✌
RIP Mako 😔
I miss seeing Mako in movies. 😥
Bravoooo!
Total father and son movie.Thanks dad for putting this on when Mom was out of town.

@@croci17 great dad
Absolutely! Lol. I think my dad showed this to me when I was like 6
My mom wouldn’t let me watch it either but my Dad always let me pop the VHS tape in and watch from start to finish
It really is
The most hard-core metal fantasy movie made. It's a scientific fact that watching this opening while working out, you'll bench press 30% more weight
A classic
Before CGI, before Marvel, before Disney took over every franchise, there was a movie called "Conan the Barbarian" where men were men and movies inspired beyond all imagination.
And before Anime

Cant say it better
Anime exsited before the 80s?
I'm Korean. I've seen this movie over 20 times. I salute John Milius and Basil Poledouris. Best opening music!
I'm Greek and have the same name as the late Basil. Unbeatable soundrack.
Only 20
I played this song with my battery Phone at 5%, now it shows -20% and still running.
Crom laughs at dead batteries. He laughs from his mountain.

Basil Poledouris was built different
A song inspired by a russian composer 😁, Basil Podelouris was a great admirer of Prokofiev
Apocalypse now 1☝️conan 👏👏
This is my childhood, along with Star Wars, Star Trek and Godzilla. Bring on King Conan. Let Arnold shine one last, greatest time. Let him wear the jeweled crown of Aquilonia upon a troubled brow!
I need to see this happen during my lifetime
Nah, that was another story
I want to see it but at the same time not because I’m worried what they would to the movie by adopting it for a "modern" audience. We saw enough of our heroes die on the big screen (Luke, Terminator) let Conan, sit on the high mountains and laugh with Crome.
ET
The most epic intro of any movie ever made...
Good but not great the openings to Once Upon a Time in the West, Big Jake, the terminator and Patton were better
@@ShawnBoryca Crom laughs at your four movies!!!!
What about Star Wars clasic trilogy or Lord of the Rings trilogy?
@@Johnlindsey289 Lotr was epic but lacked the depth.
Thanks to this movie, I now know what is best in life 🤣👏🏻
😂😂😂

How to make an intro legendary :
1 - a damn manly chronicler voice on an epic speech of high adventure
2 - a forever legendary music that will best the best orchestras for centuries
3 - a yet, still simple black blackgroung on how it shows that the making quality of the sword will forge the adventurer a lone wolf ...
Rip the 80s and 90s. I am born in the 80s and will be proud to h 1:26 ave known these gems
Born 82 here and my birth year rocked for sci-fi and fantasy
My hamster heard the song , now is a lion.
my cat listened to this now he is a saber tooth tiger
Crom laughs at your first comment!!
I play this while swinging around my bowie knife in the living room as my wife throws plastic snakes at me and i battle them in the darkness.
Samesies
😮
This mighty opening with such a magnificent music is what true cinema really looks like
Greatest movie theme of all time.
this is the most masculine shit ive ever heard.
In the early 80's as an escape artist, I used to escape from a Strait jacket to this music. My Rottweiler was named Anvil of Crom. He was the best dog I ever had.
Just before I started listening to heavy metal back in September 1989, I had watched Conan The Barbarian for the first time. Days of high adventure had begun.
🗡️🎸✨
This is a total masterpiece!
There is a conan in each one of us... A true warrior and a man with a lot of love...
the legend lives on in Conan Exiles!
whenever i do "Manly things" like fixing my motor bike. or working out. or even just cutting wood. i play this theme on my mp3 with damn good speakers.... and feel like i'm conquering the world
On the day my future child will be born (no matter if son or daughter) I will play this banger through the hospital speakers 🙏💪🏻
This is my wake up alarm.
by crom this is good move
It is I, AKU!!! Who can tell you of his saga
Thank god someone who made this connection. Samurai Jack like VERBATIM has taken from this movie lol, in so many instances. Especially the 3 Archers episode
😂😂😂😂😂
The beginning of all things heavy metal in my life. 🏔️❄️💪⚔️🔥
I've make my dog listen to this. Now he is my owner
One of the best intros to a movie 🔥🔥🔥
THE LEGEND OF CONAN!
I hope it is done in the wonderful style of this movie. Old school Hollywood.
I wish I could watch this intro for the first time again.
I was like 7 or 8, my dad had no filter as to what movies I could watch lol so there I was...in awe at the drums and melted steel...I think I carried a sword for like a year from then on
You cast bronze; you FORGE steel.
I watched this with my dad at like 5 and I got mad when he covered my eyes and now I'm happy he did
What a perfect scene of the films main weapon being forged to this music. Makes you just want to obliterate everything that opposes you.
This is not a Movie this is An Epic Poem
steel will grow brittle, and you're flesh will age, but it's you're will, and you're conviction that prevail, and stand the test of time
Best music, best cast, best movie ever made.
Best movie, best actor ,best soundtrack, best scriptwriter...
They got a great actress to play the mother as she really looks like Arnold. Far more beautiful of course, but very strong Germanic face like him
I don't know, she looks kinda North Italian. 😅 A bit like Claudia Cardinale.
@@M0butuyep Italian
CROM!
THIS IS THE BEST IN THE LIFE!
Nah, "besht in life ish hot water, good dentishtry and shoft lavatory paper". Cohen the barbarian.
I did read somewhere that originally they wanted Ennio Morricone for the Conan soundtrack, it didn’t happen, but later he did the soundtracks to Red Sonja and Hundra . 👍🇬🇧
What is best in life: Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear this Basil Poledouris masterpiece daily!
*The knives in my kitchen are growing longer*
Underrated comment
The fact that the sword was casted and not forged troubles me a little.
No wonder it broke off.
must have been bronze.
probably that's the point of the riddle of steel?
how to make it. 😅
One of the best themes ever made 💪
Days of high adventure.🍷🔮🍷
Stay strong and keep Crom…
Goosebumps 🔥
Amo tanto essa música me emociono tanto lembro de tudo q já suportei nesta vida sofrida cada batalha cada perda cada vitória vou tentar arranjar a partitura e pagar um violinista pra executar está melodia no meu aniversário de 50 anos mto massa
Hard times strengthen spirit, body and character in every human.
Anvil of Crom was playing when my son was born
I guess he will go on to conquer the world then.
This is the only music that makes Chuck Norris cry.
me an my dad right here!!! conan,predator,commando,raw deal,...good ol days...rock on!!!
I don't know about you but this stirs my soul.
Greatest movie ever made excellent sound track.
Basil Poledouris and his musical genious made this movie great and timeless.
My testosterone increased 300% after this
They fear Crom.
My IDOL 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This theme blew out the theater speakers
THAT is how films should be made!!!
i'm loving it...
Let me tell you the days of high adventure!!
Definitely one if not my most favorite opening of a film
In the 80's I had this C64 game called Barbarians. It has the same theme song.
Awesome intro!!! Forged in fire!!!
Incredible intro movie perhaps the best
You knew you were in for something special at 3 seconds in.
They don't make films like this anymore.
I will be laid to rest at the end of my life to this orchestral masterpiece, The Anvil of Crom 🗡️
the melted iron flowing at the start is pure genius
If you are interested, I have a video series on the movie on my channel. The first two analyse this scene. Skip the first 3 minutes of the first video (it's just an introduction).
@@malafakka8530interesting... I'll watch it. thanks man
Conan, says it all.😊
crom approves of this music.
Iconic
Oh the good old days of high adventure . When the Country was not divided and run by nutcrackers .
Simply... SPECTACULAR 👏👏👏
Just the first phrase from Nietzsche in the very first seconds is already a lesson for this weak and woke generation.
Weak men make hard times and hard times make strong men
What is greatest in life? To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentation of their women!
Conan the only true Man and true King....king whit is hands...man whit is Courage
Aliarvostettu elokuva, aliarvostettu soundtrack. Hieno biisi 🙂
Best movie intro ever.
The start at 2:05 is absolutely beautiful.
This is the best movie soundtrack next to the StarWars and the original Superman. They just don't make them like this anymore. Heck...they don't movies this good anymore. Except for Comic book movies, but in that regard the best stories have been done already.
Don't forget Lord of The Rings
O Bárbaro.
This is my morning out of bed into action music for the foreseeable future. My jawline just sharpened, my swagger just got swaggier. The next women I see who is a 7+ is going on my shoulder.
I feel like I can flip a truck over with my bare hands after watching this!
That was quite a summer for fantasy films. I believe there was Conan, road warrior, and blade runner. And also ET and Star Trek wrath of khan
I feel like I can take on an army alone when I watch Conan.
Powerful.
Would love to see Conan and his party in LOTR

This movie, Excalibur, lord of the rings trilogy and more define fantasy
They need to do a study measuring testosterone levels before and after listening to this song. This song could qualify as a PED, or at the very least an ergogenic aid.
Melhor intro de filme que conheço!
Crom laughs at Karens, feminists, SJWs and people easily triggered and offended.
He laughs from his mountain!
Conan was a Normàn name. During the time of William the Conquerer, Conan of Dinan was recorded
There may have been a Norman named Conan, but it's an Irish name. Conán, which means "little wolf" or "little hound" from Irish cú "wolf, hound" combined with a diminutive suffix. Conan creator Robert E. Howard doubtless chose it for that very reason, as he was an ardent Celtophile.
