- Conan and Subitai, heavily outnumbered, fight off Thulsa Doom's henchmen in the Battle of the Mounds.
Conan says a prayer to Crom before the battle:
"Crom, I have never prayed to you before.
I have no tongue for it.
No one, not even you, will remember if we were good men or bad,
Why we fought or why we died.
No, all that matters is that two stood against many.
That's what's important.
Valor pleases you, Crom, so grant me one request -
Grant me revenge!
And if you do not listen, then the Hell with you!" - Krátké a kreslené filmy

"It was useless to call on Crom, because he was a gloomy, savage god, and he hated weaklings. But he gave a man courage at birth, and the will and might to kill his enemies, which, in the Cimmerian's mind, was all any god should be expected to do"
Yeah, but at least Conan had the guts to say to Crom's face.
Conan did meet Crom I think only once or twice in his comics history.
Than you will not remember if we were good men or bad
Then to hell with him!
1:30 😊
"And if you do not listen ... THEN TO HELL WITH YOU !!!"
Crom: Request granted.
This is how i pray to God to win the Lottery...so far, hasn't worked..
I like to think Crom was so impressed by the sheer BALLS of Conan and Subotai that he granted Conan's request.
AtticWarrior1994 It was the "To hell with you!" line that sold him. I've always felt that.
Like I said, those two had balls. Crom likes balls.
Crom: I want to see where this goes....
"All that matters is that two stood against many". Fucking Awesome
Dude! That was indeed an awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwesome line.
If these two were Conan and DoomSlayer facing Thulsa Doom's HellKnights and Revenants, then this situation's cranked up to 11
Grant me revenge!! Gives me goosebumps.
A man chooses. (his fate)
A simp obeys. (his fate)
in german even better
There are two types of people in the world: those that agree that this is one of the most epic sequences on film and those that are wrong.
Doctor Colin *those who worship the four winds
Soooo epic! One of my all time favs!
This wasn’t a movie, it’s a documentary, the events were filmed in real time.
Right up there with Arthur handing Excalibur to Uryens after having the blade at his throat and demanding to be knighted so that ge may show him mercy.
I saw a post one time that said, "It would have only taken one Lord of the Rings movie for Conan to shove that ring up Sauron's ass, not three"...lol
Props to my man Subatai. Conan saved his life, and Subatai returned the favor on the Tree of Woe. He owes Conan nothing, and could have left when things looked their worst.....but there he is. Awesome.
Someone else mentioned how it was great that he wasn't just a sidekick or there for comic relief. He was with Conan through thick and thin and was a mighty warrior in his own right. I'm glad that he survived, and most movies would have killed off such a character (but valor pleases Crom).
@@philhelm1318 - Loyalty. Subatai is the representation of that childhood friend that we were loyal to for no good reason and they were ride or die in return. You know the one I’m talking about. We all had them at 13… all good epics remember them 😢
yet he bailed when Conan went to visit Doom at the end
@@nearlydead7510 - Wait, do you mean “Unable to follow along and assist because of the serious leg wound he sustained fighting along side him and was probably left with the wizard to heal at Conan’s request because Conan probably loves and cherishes the true friend that rescued him from the tree of woe and even helped set up his resurrection so why risk his life by forcing him to come to the temple on a gimpy leg???” Is that what you meant to say bruh?
And yet he wasn't even in the next movie
Probably obvious, but this scene parallels the slaughter of Conan's village at the beginning of the movie. Same music, same riders (except for those already killed), but now instead of being a little kid, Conan gets to beat some serious ass. So fucking awesome.
👍
I never thought about that actually. That is awesome!
Up until now in Conan's adulthood, the Cult of Set have been pretty effete and weird. Having orgies and holding rituals. But here they are, dressed in black, just as he remembers them.
That said, they've gotten older, got a bit soft, lost their edge. And death aside, Conan's never been sharper.
Pray to Crom, but do not rely on him. Rely on your steel.
Fuck yeah man, spot on.
Possibly the most honest prayer ever spoken, "Grant me revenge! And if you do not listen, then the hell with you!"
Crom values honor and tenacity in battle. Not much pleases him more than seeing a warrior fighting against overwhelming odds while still slaying his enemies. To take up arms and defeat one's foe, even if they are too frail to do so. Crom doesn't want you to rely on his blessing to survive a battle. He wants you to live and die by the strength of your will, which should be stronger than steel.
"Live, love, burn with life, slay and survive."
Crom: "Live, Laugh, Murder"
From his mountain, where Crom sat, he looked down and he did not care.
That's Crom.
And the 'If you do not listen...THEN THE HELL WITH YOU!' would make him smile.
@@mickywanderer8276 he would respect that, but never smile. It's kinda his thing, to be uncaring dick
@@EN-mh4og My understanding is Crom is an absolute bastard. He's a horrible, spiteful God. People don't worship him, or pray to him. They just silently hope they don't attract his attention. His name is used as a curse, and even then a double edged sword. For Conan to stand on the brink of a suicidal defeat and say "Yo, Satan, a glimmer of help. And if not, FUCK YOU," is so ballsy, insane, and probably never done before, that I think this is why Crom sends Valaria. He noticed.
Dislikers worship the four winds. Crom laughs at your four winds!
Bazrrrr He laughs from his mountain!
Crom comments "Lol" or if he does not, to HELL with him.
Lol
@@Richterdgf My god is stronger! He is the Everlasting Sky! You god lives underneath him :P
As you can see.....crom and the four winds champions stand against many.
Some people say that Arnold cannnot act. I respectfully disagree.
Acting is filling a role and making your audience believe that YOU are that which you pretend to be. Arnold did just that as Conan. Arnold suits the profile of a Cimmerian Barbarian, his bulging muscles fit Conan's backstory, along with his Austrian accent that gives the impression that he is from a land far away and long forgotten.
I believe that Robert E. Howard would be Proud of Arnold's version of Conan.
augdog1230 Conan is Arnies best movie, hands down.
"Acting is filling a role and making your audience believe that YOU are that which you pretend to be." This...so simple yet somehow nobody realise...
@@gabortoth3644 Exactly. And Arnold CAN act. The scene in Conan when he is drunk he falls with his face on the soup is hysterical. Absolutely ridiculous but what a drunken fool would do. Zero dignity. Lol. You have to be good to play a fool.
Also, he straight up fucking killed being the terminator, like with how he moved his eyes and his head followed, and how robotic he acted. That shits good
He’s a legit actor, better than some respected actors
One of the mot underrated movies ever.
ramone138 Not at all. Everyone who knows it truly knows it. And true movie fans love this film universally. It doesn't have to be held up, it holds itself up.
underated by who? To the hell with them!
@@vdevictoria4016 Agree, all that matters is that we loved this movie and stood by his side.
it is underrated nowadays, because people associate it with dumb action movie based of schwarzenegger presence, but in the 80? this movie created vision how fantasy should look like for any d&d nerd until lotr movies came out.
And if you dont agree, then the hell with you!
Subatai, the friend every man needs but in reality when the time comes few are ready to be that friend.
they were buddy's for life
I always loved this scene because Conan had Subatai, a friend that was willing to die beside him. Conan was not alone. I felt so bad for him for everything that he had to endure in his youth. Having a good friend had to made his life a lot more bearable.
blockmasterscott a good steel in your hands and a friend at your back go a long way
Subatai was great in that he isn't a sidekick, or there for cheap comic relief.
He's a companion that can, and will stand side by side with you when real trouble comes.
A friend that will laugh at you as he beats you in a philosophy debate about whose god is greater. Then come find you when you're being crucified out in the middle of nowhere.
@@3lastname390 Subotai is a true blue friend, one who is there for you no matter what.
He is sumerian. He will not cry. So I cry for him. 🥺
This movie has always moved me.
The way he says "Grant me revenge!" sends chills up my spine. Arnold, despite his flaws, has inspired generations of men to strive to be better. He was a shining beacon and I dread the day he leaves this earth. He is the epitome of the heroes the ancient Romans worshipped like Hercules, only a modern version of it. A man who broke through numerous barriers to reach higher than anyone thought possible. His speeches and example serve to help me push myself to be better.
When Arnold passes, the Earth will shake.
Yeah, that rustic Austrian accent adds to the authenticity. Arnie was born to play Conan and John Milius gave him some of the best, most badass lines to speak in cinema. Arnie made a few cinematic turds, but If he goes tomorrow he'll leave Conan, The Predator, two/three great Terminator films and Total Recall as his legacy. Not bad at all.
Because this movie i started read books.....Conan - original stories, from Howard, is first book i have ever bought.
There are only 3 actor who I cared enough about to be sad by their passing. James Avery, Steve Irwin (not technically an actor) and the last will be Arnold. When Arnold dies he will take with me the last part of my childhood, the man was the action hero everyone wanted to be when they were young.
Arnold is a POS for what he did to tom Platz aswell as how he treated Mike mentzer.... The true arnold is very different
Such an amazing film. Not only is the action great and, within the context, realistic, but it is also philosophical. It is perfectly cast. Every line from Thusla Doom is captivating. The entire soundtrack is top notch. For a limited budget, the cinematography is fantastic. There is an eerie sense of wonder when Conan stumbles into the Atlantean Tomb. There is genuine tenderness between Conan and Valeria, yet it isn't sappy or drag down the film. The camaraderie between Conan, Subotai and Akiro feels genuine.
I love this movie.
Even all the little touches like "black lotus, Stygian the best!"
Sure, it may be a little corny at times, but there's so much passion clearly put into it, I can't help but be enthralled.
I feel this movie the same way you do, but I have no words to describe it. And finally your comment pleases Crom!
I truly agree with your statement. This is my favourite movie, because it is a romantic film, with the true meaning of the word. Milius is the key here, not Arnold. His knowledge, his passion for cinema, his writing and philosophy are apparent throughout the film. Sure, he changed the source material, but what true artist doesn't put his own fingerprints on a creation?
Truth. They don't make movies like this any longer. Nowadays movies are made by comittees, comptrollers, social justice warriors and with an eye to the PG rating, the proper amount of racial diversity and the "Chinese market". And the inevitable result is forgettable shit. So sad.
The Greatest and most Forgotten Schwarzenegger line in History.
If it is not remembered, than to hell with you cinematic Gods!!
It's on CZcams son. It'll never be forgotten.
+Jacob Sailer I think the "Hercules In New York" moments are less well known type "Fine Chariot where are the horses" to anyone who doesnt know this Arnold movie
So visceral. Could this movie be the best fantasy movie ever?
MithraisAugustus Yes, absolutely.
I practically worshipped this movie as a kid.
Yes. It is. And the best soundtrack too. Excalibur from 1981 comes a close second.
Rombizio
The retro Excalibur movie is awesome.....
xD
yes. yes it can
I like how he points out that the Gods don't perceive us from our good or bad behavior; they won't even remember us when we come and go into the world.. They're looking at a much bigger picture of reality, so it's heroic deeds, or extraordinary action or event that bring us to their perception and interest. that's when they care to intervene or not to. that's what I get from it.
Agreed. At least, that's what Conan believes about his god. And, whether that god doesn't exist or whether he hadn't noticed Conan before... it doesn't matter; you still have to admire Conan's stones for basically telling him to f off if he won't listen.
"I'll meet you halfway, Conan. I'll give you these bastards, all right; I'll even send some extra, just to show what a nice guy I am. But it's up to you to actually *kill* them."
"And if you do not listen then TO HELL WITH YOU."
*Meanwhile in the Spirit World*
Crom: *chuckles* "Quite a bold mortal. Asking for my aid only to insult me if I do not. Most mortals quake before battle, but not this one. So be it.." *Summons Valeria* Valeria, when death seems inevitable go to him, this is my will."
Crom wanted to watch people die in battle, Conan sent him the spoils, Crom sent him reward, second movie Conan bows at mound and prays to Crom. Conan is victorious in battle again, this time Conan sent a god of battle a dead dream god monster.
Crom is pleased with his best warrior.
+Captain_Hat I think in one of the books, Conan's dreaming, or thinks he's dead, and apparently sees/meets Crom, who mocks him. Conan's response-fine, let's fight, you may be my god, but no one makes fun of me and walks away from it.
True, that's a great comment.
Crom doesn't like weak mortals, he hates weakness, so when Conan asks this wish but then instead of begging tells Crom to go fuck himself. Crom saw how strong the barbarian was and granted his wish.
Great character, great film and great cast. Arnold is Conan and he is going to be Conan forever.
REH's Crom was based largely on Odin. Normally praying to Odin was to invite misfortune on yourself - he gave you your breath, your strength, your will to fight that was all you needed. And he wanted you to endure hardship to make you stronger - or kill you if you were weak and unworthy. So, praying to him casually meant you were subconsciously desiring more challenge in life! Though Vikings occasionally had a cripple they didn't kill and would send him out in the direst of winters to pray to Odin on their behalf - since he hadn't gotten his full portion he could beseech Odin lest they kill him to not have another mouth to feed.
Such a prayer the Mythic Odin/Wotan likely would have honored the warriors request. Valor indeed does pleas him! But - 50/50 he'd have had the Valkyrie fetch him right after to take him to Valhalla, why risk having him wait and possibly die of old age and not join him?
I don’t like the interpretation that Crom sends Valeria to help Conan. She explicitly says the gods can’t sever her from Conan, so having her as the tool of an otherwise disinterested god undermines both her and Conan.
"All that matters is that two stood against many, that's whats important" Conan the Barbarian
Was this line inspired by the drama title , "Seven Against Thebes"? Perhaps inspired Kurosawa even more!
The image of Subotai watching into the distance as the riders appear is breathtaking. As he moves laterally the camera shifts along with him, keeping the viewer locked into his view. Genius camera work. The music builds, the impending truth of what's coming is amazing. The cinematography showing the riders to the backdrop of Conan speaking to Crom, again brilliant and Epic.
They dont make em like this anymore.
Subotai knew to keep a look out, knowing that he and Conan were already ready for Thulsa Doom and his men.
Not just the thrilling visuals, but the thunderous majestic score. Imagine this combat scene with a run of the mill orchestral score rather than the rousing, perfect music by Basil Poledouris? One of the best, most apt scores in movie history.
@@RedPyramid-lf4sb Absolutely! Subotai was a top tier wingman!
@@Clive697 Definitely one of the greatest OSTs ever produced. Basil is immortal for this film!
@@joeyisho5370 Yeah! I've played this soundtrack to people who've never seen Conan and they've been blown away by the power. Watching the film with the sound turned up gives you so much testosterone you could've grown a beard by the end! There's a 2-disc special edition re-recording of the soundtrack on Promethius records with extra tracks now. By Crom, it's good!
0:18 one of the greatest cinematography shots ever
Victor M It's fucking awesome.
Victor M I thought I was the only one that recognized that. I've replayed that shot many times over the years.
blockmasterscott I learned about it while watching the film on AMC during one of those movie-notes nights where they tell you interesting facts about movies and movie scenes.
Victor M Chilling after all these years. And always will be.
+Victor M i don't understand. how is it so? i'm not that knowledgeable with cinematography
I've always loved the relationship Conan had with his God in this film. He both admires his God and doesn't give a shit if his God doesn't look out for him.
He doesn't just follow his God blindly. He demonstrates earlier on that he admires the strength and status of Crom, But Conan doesn't expect Crom to favor him because he is a follower or admirer. He expects Crom to favor him because he's demonstrating his strength, resilience and just general bad-ass style. If he digs what Conan is doing, Awesome! If not, 'screw you, I'll do it myself!'
He treats his God so personally that he doesn't fear offending him because, well, Crom knows Conan admires him anyway and they have such a relationship. If you were to have a God you follow and you can be so brutally honest with him like this. That's a frigging awesome relationship they have. If you fear you'll offend him/her and expect favors after years of following a God, that's a weakness. Crom doesn't like weakness and Conan pushes beyond all of that himself. He couldn't have any other God to look up to.
Jake Bray gotta say, I dig your analysis. Well said.
Nice written, inspirational brother
That's Crom strong on his mountain.
that's literally Conan in a nutshell; he always looks out for himself, and doesn't have anyone or anything answer his calls or do his bidding for him. He is his own man and always will be.
I will always watch this film in wonder, how they made something so deep with such meaning and conviction. Sepcially with the scene in the tomb.
Pagan gods often chose champions because they aligned with their nature or embodied their gifts, not because they groveled at their feet.
Example, Trojan war: The goddess of love chose Paris because he was a pretty boy. The god of the sun and practically all good things chose Hector because of his noble nature. The goddess of war chose Odysseus as her favorite because he was resourceful, brave, and ruthless. He tricked his enemies, opened the gates of Troy and burned the city to the ground.
Best. Prayer. Ever. Honest and to the point. I believe that Crom granted Conan victory that day.
Crom did.
After being told that if he didn't listen, then to hell with him.
Best build up to a battle ever. Tension, fear, adrenaline, and a prayer to the God of Battle. The music swell is my favorite part. Honestly, not even Lord of the Rings can match this.
well said.
Vincent LevskiFan maybe 1981 excalibur could match this just maybe
Hay Stack You will notice that both these movies place a very strong emphasis on swords, and the mystical... and on personal development. They are growing-up stories.
They don't make them like this any more. They don't leave you with the secret teenage-boy feeling of fascination and excitement and awe. Or teenage-girl -- all the girls in high school when this came out were fighting each other with garden stakes and twirling around and laughing and bragging about how they'd screw Arnie after they graduated --
What a pity.
I call bs, LOTR is beyond this. I know its subjective but i find that ridiculous.
Uberslick Hey bud,I love LOTR too,but Conan will hand Aragorn or any other fighter in that story their ass.Conan is nearly superhuman in his feats.
Seriously, that prayer is absolutely LEGENDARY.
When Valeria showed up you knew Crom or at least someone equally or more powerful heard Conan's prayer.
I think the one person who understand Conan more than Howard was Basil poledouris
Allistur E Excellent point. Sometimes I read Robert E. Howard while listening to Poledouris' music. It is inspiring.
+Allistur Basil Poledouris and Frank Frazetta. Those two knows what makes Conan, Conan.
His music for Robocop, and The Hunt For Red October are also very good.
Fulgrim. ..Conan is a ancient Space Wolves 🤗
@@thorkalel2851 Fulgrim is the Primarch of the Emperor’s Children. Leman Russ is the Primarch of the Space Wolves.
When i'm depressed i like to see this scene over andover again, it always gives me power to grown up once more, and fight another day, just like the Human Will.
I understand the feeling. It is scenes like this that can really be a motivator.
Fuck yeah , COME OOOONNN!!!!!!!
to you 28 who down voted this....to hell with you
+colt grisham The Crom laughs at their dislikes!
+colt grisham Seriously!!
...laughs from his mountain.
They're all sluts!
And while you're at it, go fuck yourselves....
Thirty years later this scene is still one of the most epic in cinema history. RIP Basil Pouledoris. With his music, my TV dinner and checking email would seem utterly magnificent.
I like how the villains do not have to make a 360 backflip every time they die. No 3d camera swoop, no super slowmo. It's crude, simple and effective and matches the theme of the movie perfectly.
One of the most underrated movies of all time...
For me, it's the subtle adjust of the weapon on the boulder at 0:54 that gets me. It's exactly the kind of human thing we'd all do at work a big meeting or call or presentation or whatever your thing is. It's a single,, final point of vulnerability before the storm. Damn, I wish they still made movies like this.
Yeah, I love that too. It's subtleties like this that make you really appreciate a movie, especially on multiple viewings. Even the look he gives Subotai as he's moving in the background at 0:35 is great.
The most metal fantasy movie made. Savagely beautiful, brutally violent, and possibly the greatest soundtrack to any movie.
BEST. PRAYER. EVER!!!
And an awesome battle scene to go with it.
i loved you as captain america
The prayer in "The 13th Warrior" is also epic.
@@eldesgraciado6690 I was going to mention this one - but I'm months late!
The film was a bit disappointing but, the poem recited by the Vikings in the rain before battle was thrilling:
"Lo, there do I see my father. Lo, there do I see my sisters and brothers. Lo, there do I see the line of my people to the beginning."
The Vikings (like Conan, probably) thought it better to fight and fall in battle than to live without honour or hope. So, they prepared to meet their ancestors.
@@Clive697 Right on!
The score is what makes this excellent action scene legendary. I won’t say we don’t get composers like this anymore,because we really do, is just that composers like this inspire those that come later. The greatest thing that can be done is for one to inspire the greatness in another.
...unless the copyright brigade step in!!!
Akiro (Mako): The gods are pleased with you. They will watch the battle. Conan (Arnold): Are they going to help? Akiro: No!
+spartan Hah Hah! Thanks, friend.
+Spartaculus Jones They wouldn't help, but they had no objection if Valeria did.
Conan- Then tell them to stay out of the way!
0:50
Music and horses... OMG!
Pure awesome!
They have nowhere to run and they do one of the best last stands in movie history.
Obviously the prayer fits the character perfectly.
Arnold has done some great movies, and many people consider Terminator to be his best role, but to me Conan will always be his best performance.
This film was so perfect, you had a lot of beautiful and atmospheric shots of the world that he lived in, great soundtrack... But what made it unforgettable were the fight scenes. For the movies total playtime, there wasn't many events of violence, but hell, when shit went down, It was fast, bloody, and fucking awesome.
+TheDogeKnight For the early 80's at least. I'm sure the action would be choreographed much better nowadays.
+jadedandbitter Choreographed like all bad fighting scenes these days? Real men dont say " hey guys lets just stop fighting and spend a few weeks getting our moves perfect and obviously completely fake, then we will come back and make a pretty fight". These are men, not little girls masquerading as men to look pretty on the screen
+Fobbsy Maybe you've missed films like John Wick, which used real Krav Maga and CQC techniques the whole way through- the point is, better modern choreography has brought in martial arts consultants to make the combat "fast, bloody, and fucking awesome" and far more plausible.
Conan was comprised of actors "masquerading as men"- Arnold didn't know how to hold or use a sword properly, and neither did any of the other actors, so a lot of it looks completely ridiculous to somebody who has studied european martial arts- or hell, even has a casual familiarity with it. Today, they'd bring in an expert to tell them how to hold a sword and shield properly, what tactics were used in fights, etc.
But, the cheesiness of Conan has a charm of its own.
jadedandbitter Well john wick was a breath of fresh air when it came out, but even then, i wasnt taking it seriously. I know krav maga has a more practical application than the other martial arts, but even then, almost all martial arts techniques are usually miles apart from when people actually fight. A technique might look amazing and fluid and poetic, but when the actual fighting happens, it just turns into a slapfest. I can see the appeal of good choreography, but too often it just comes off as fake. You can see the actor counting his moves in his head
It is my understanding that the film was intended to look "Frazzetta" like.
How the hell this Conan haven’t pop up in Mortal Kombat yet?!? He is worthy!
I legit wish he was used instead of Terminator, it just fits so much better
@@holymasterchief Right? Now don’t get me wrong. I like Terminator, but he just…so out of place for MK. Conan….he the real deal. The brutality, the violence, the blood lust, all for so well to the MK world. But nope. Odd choice from the gamer maker in my opinion.
@@minhha8981 I suppose there could have been some issue with the rights but if they went through all the work to get the other guest fighters... the hell with them!
@@holymasterchief The company is rich I am sure. Not as powerful as Disney may be. So, still an odd choice from them. Oh and just to mock Conan fans, they have a Conan skin for Kotal Kahn…
@@minhha8981 I forgot all about that skin! Man, that really is a rub in the face but now that I think about it, Conan would probably be very similar to Kotal with their big swords and whatnot. Still tragic tho
The "to hell with you" part is what granted him his wish. Crom has no time for ceremonious weaklings.
That is a prayer my a MAN! Crude, direct and to the point.
This scene is everything... Conan puts everything on the line for this battle. It is personal as much as it is transformative. He's survived as a slave, as a gladiator, as a soldier, through rigorous training, in open wilderness, as someone who came face to face with death, as a raider, and now he is finally put into the role of war strategist. Two against many. This scene right here is the prologue to his legend.
This is the way movies should be made, fuck CGI!
Terminator 2:
_I just gonna pretend I didn't see that_
The Basil Polodouris score here is major badass! Intense and fitting.
*After Conan's prayer*
Crom be like "I like this guy! Nobody's ever said to hell with me if I didn't listen. I grant your request my good man."
Those who don't like my movie...then to hell with you!
ahaha and to hell with crom if he dosn't like it eather
Cimmerians do not pray to Crom. That goes against everything that Conan believed. You are not Conan you are the bastardized version of Robert E. Howards genius. By Ishtar read the books!

Do you think that a god who helps his people according to their deeds would be a bad thing? Because that sounds far nobler to me than the faith bullshit that most Christian denominations peddle.
Matt Smith Is that the whole "god helps those who help themselves" bullshit? I'd rather there be no god at all than there be one resembling what you're describing.
You'd rather there not be a god instead of having a god or gods who help people who take the initiative to do something?
Strange position to take.
I don't believe in any gods, personally, but I think orthopraxy is far too often overlooked in favor of orthodoxy, which is a shame. You would think that orthopraxy would follow orthodoxy, but strangely enough, that's often not the case.
Damn you Hollywood. Damn you to Hell. This masterpiece of filmmaking and you didn't allow Milius to do his trilogy yet gave Spielberg Indiana Jones and Lucas his Star Wars. Damn you Hollywood.
Star Wars movies are B-movies at best.
Conan is on a whole other level.
Yes. Star wars story is basically a light cartoon for children.
Star wars were B-rated movies at best
TO HELL WITH YOU!!!!
In the North of every man's heart blows a cold and wild wind
This should be the only kind of prayer Crom would hear.
Come on Arnold, one more time. Of all the roles from your past you want to return to, an older Conan makes the most sense. You OWN this role. Even as a fan of the books, I can't read Howard without hearing YOUR voice in my head.
Give us Conan the King
One final battle, one last act of valor.
Much as I'd love to see Schwarzenegger in another Conan film (preferably better than Destroyer!), Arnie is 76! He may be in great shape but they'd still have to de-age him with CGI for Conan the King. Should've done it at least a decade ago.
People say Arnold couldnt act, I watched this for the first time more than 20 years ago. And it has stayed with me. This scene along with others. His prayer to Crom in his voice over the years has stayed in my memory. That is greatness for me.
the sword of rexor was his father's sword and the moment he broke it and kill rexor he honored the memory of his father by swing it over his head, also metaphore to how conan supress his father sword and achive his vengence and finish tulsa doom by his father sword and thrown the sword away after his gaoal achive. GREAT SCENE
His adventures continued, until he became king of Aquilonia by his own hand.
But that is another story.
this scene is sooo epic ,Arnold and the enemies riding and the music ,I have no words ,just amazing .
One of thee best scenes in movie history 👏 The soundtrack, storyline and cast..it's beautiful
Awesome prayer, pious in its brutal almost sacrilege nature, a true belief in Crom, but without blinders of fantasism, a totally honest prayer to a war god. Of course Crom granted it!
Beyond the humor and epicness of his line, Conan also knows he doesn't risk anything: Crom doesn't listen anyway so he wouldn't know for the disrespect. And if by a fluke Crom's happened to listen; he would laugh at this and be pleased by Conan knowing him so well (and he's not even asking for things being done by a greater power. Just having revenge by being able to get in the fight). That's the way to go
Hey, in one of the books apparently Conan meets Crom in a dream-who insults him. So Conan challenges him to a fight.
The Exiles game has the ability for you to start with Crom ad a diety, and it legit says that Crom cares little for prayers. His offerings is the blood of the battlefield and praises of warriors forging their legends though steel and will. He needs no alter for all men sing his praises in their hearts.
Why should Crom care when he's the God of battle? The other gods in their petty rivalries feed him anyway.
@@joshuasitzema9920 very nice:)
I remember watching this when I was like 8.
When I went to Iraq, right before a convoy mission I had memorized this part before we took off.
Corm smiled upon us that day.
0:49 to 1:22
A group of warriors standing at the edge of eternity. Facing impossible odds, they look into each other's eyes, for no one but their brother in arms will be with them this day......
Sweat forms in their arms, they grip their weapons tighter and are ready to face death this day to protect something greater than them.
Armed with this determination, faith in their cause and the valour of their brothers they march to meet this foe!
This scene is so epic. The dedication from the actors putting their bodies on the line for this fight.
How can you dislike this scene? They must like twilight!
Crom disliked this :D
PhillyBoy264 Then to Hell with him!
The dialogue in this film is absolute poetry!
This movie, and the soundtrack, give me barbarian goosebumps every time
One of the best musical scores/editing ever done in a film. Everything clicked which was never intended to be a classic with this very uneven cast (ran the gamut of enthusiastic semi-pro to highly professional) and skimpy script (still with high points such as Conan's prayer and of course Von Sydow and Jones' lines and Mako's narration) but came a lot closer than anyone had a right to expect.
The weird thing is Thulsa Doom is King Kull's enemy, not Conan's. Conan's enemy was Thoth-Amon. I used the collect the B&W Savage Sword of Conan magazines in my early youth.
Crom helps those who help themselves.
I really like Arnolds accent here. It works so well with his character
This is the most metal scene ever filmed... Period!!
Conan the manliest movie ever made
Seeing Conan and Subitai kill 21 out of the 22 warriors as a kid and now is freaking awesome!
0:48 The choir is literally chanting "ARNIE."
No horses were harmed during this sequence. But several Danish body builders were badly bruised.
several were harmed and even killed that's why they filmed in Spain where there are no animal protection laws.
@@ashmoleproductions5407 Pity.
Music is so epic here. At the beginning, when it builds up tension slowly according to enemy appearance 0:15 - 0:49, just to errupt into the mighty pattern of 0:50 leading you without a doubt that great battle is coming and it was only silence before the storm. But when 1:25 kicks in with prayer part, music is once again calm but yet powerful - portraying the fact, that fight its not about fight itself, but for what we stand in it. Master-fucking-piece of art, all hail Conan.
This is a classic movie and the music score is IMO one if the great masterpieces of film score
This is how every prayer should be
This movie is over 40 years old but still looks amazing - a timeless classic indeed, not like this forgettable crap from today.
"Grant me one request : Grant me revenge! And if you do not listen, then the hell with you!" What a gorgeous line!
Arnold was, is and will forever be THE real Conan!
His whole life came down to a few moments...
One of the most motivational scenes ever filmed...
This is one of the best adventure movies ever, period. Crom laughs at today's movies! Laughs from his mountain.
The sheer will to live, in the face of surmounting odds, that’s what’s important.
This is Arnold at his finest.
Best prayer ever. So honest and sincere.
Rolled a 20!
+MAXZONE47 Sorry, but when Conan roll a D20, he does a natural 21 !
+Skadi he probably crits on a 19 and 20
I play a dwarf barbarian and take heavy inspiration from conan.
+Blake Keys I am proud of you good sir
Krom Lover My barbarian has 109 health and is level 8
2:02 CROM really liked that attitude so he gave him strenght.
Everything about this is awesome. The music, the preparation for the fight, the tension when the riders arrive, Conan's speech and the fight itself which is a hard and a tough brawl between two warriors against several dozen foes with gritty and simple combat along with utilization of traps and strategy which feels real and believable. Overall this fight kicks ass!
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses. And if you do not listen, then the hell with you!
More powerful than anything in the 2011 movie
The 2011 movie was a piece of shit.
Hamza Changazi agree
Hamza Changazi It's the music score. Because I almost rage, when there was no Conan songs. I can't stand the new one, due to no epic music.:(
The makers of the 2011 film should be tried for crimes against humanity!
Shane Roach LMFAO! Yes hahaha. greatest comment!
Subotai using a spear here is extremely smart, considering they were facing enemies on horseback. It shows the difference between him and Conan. Conan uses big, powerful weapons that he can swing with ferocity. Subotai is a thief by trade, so he values efficiency and anything that might give him an edge. Damn awesome movie.
Crom to Set: Dude, your guy started it.......
kneel before Crom you heathens....
I stole this comment from another Arnie video: "Crom is a gloomy, angry god. He does, however, respect mortals that demonstrate power, bravery, and courage despite being worshiped by Cimmerians. He likely would have ignored Conan's prayer until Conan told him to fuck off if he couldn't back him up. Something that takes some balls to tell a god known for invoking terrible curses to those that anger him. Crom had respect for all the trials and tribulations of Conan's life. The man had been through some serious shit including being crucified, tortured on the wheel of pain for years, and a slave fighter.
Conan and his buddy were the only two combatants against 20 other guys. Doesn't matter if they had to fight dirty. Crom respects strength in the face of certain death. Rexon basically came with a small battalion after two guys which is some pussy shit to Crom" I found that theory interesting. It might explain the God that worshippers pray to today.

To be fair, everything Conan said makes perfect sense in the context of the coming unwinnable battle - you bet all on your ability. Gods be damned.
TheTallMan35. You sir are enlightened ! Thank you for sharing.
In the original book series, Crom actually does interfere just once, saving Conan's life.
By that point, Conan was an old man (but still a beast), the King of Aquilonia by his own hand. Conan had travelled halfway around the world to save his kidnapped queen from a far eastern wizard-king. During the final confrontation, the wizard had succeeded in magically paralyzing Conan and was about to kill him. Then Crom manifested, telling the wizard that no way was a warrior like Conan, with all the mighty feats Conan had done throughout his life - the epitome of what Crom stands for, going to meet an ignoble end by some sniveling wizard's dagger. Crom dispelled the paralysis, the wizard started sh*tting in his pants that a god had actually personally rebuked him, and then Conan killed the wizard. (At least that's how I remember it. Haven't read that book for years.) Crom definitely respects Conan.
Well, books and film are a bit different, but in this scene the movie nails the gist of it: Crom values valor and bravery after everything else.
Slaying a trapped foe isn't an act of courage, so Crom is displeased. Running over a brave warrior with an army of thousand isn't an act of courage, so Crom is displeased.
Conan doesn't ask Crom to slay his foes: that would anger Crom, asking a god to slay your enemies is a supreme act of cowardice.
Conan asks Crom to grant him revenge by his own hand, and curses Crom for being stuck into an uneven battleground that would grant advantage on a cowardly enemy.
Crom appreciates Conan's courage and bravery, and grants him strengh so he can fight an entire army with his own bravery
As a young boy, I adored this movie. Hell, I still do.
Let us all take a time to remember Basil Poledouris.. and his mesmerizing soundtrack!
The score is a perfect blend of melodic beauty and raw power with a huge orchestral sound and lots of wonderful choral passages that range from haunting and slow to in-your-face and over-the-top. I could go on forever on this score, but suffice it to say that I really can't think of a more perfect score than this.
his acting as a man questioning his entire faith is actually quite superb here
Playing Conan Exiles got me into the Conan universe, now watching this just gave me goosebumps 🥲 lol
It’s a shame Subotai didn’t return in the second movie. He was also honourable and brave, a true friend to the end.
IKR.
He and Conan were like brothers.
They had each other's backs.
