Its really a shame that Subotai wasn't in the sequel. He's always been one of my favorite cinema characters. Literally the best friend a person could ever ask for.
MrDibara There's a line on one of the original stories explaining that Barbarians are more courteous than "civilised" men, because civilised men know they can insult people without getting axed in the head.
the reason for their "dis-respect" was simple:Conan's entire villiage was slaughtered(almost to the Last breathing thing) by said Cultist's early in his life.This colored said Barbarian's attitude,which he obviously must have spread to Subotai...Not saying their not Villian's,as they were,just explaining how our 2 thieves' Attitude to them was...
interesting how Subotai refers to the four winds and "everlasting sky" that he worships - a direct nod to Tengrism, the Mongol empire and the fact that Chinggis Khan's top general was named Subutai.
In the Hyborian universe, Subotai's people - Hyrkanians - are basically Mongolian and/or Turkic people, while Conan's Cimmerian people were based on Celtic tribes.
One thing about Conan a lot of people don't realize is that he was extremely intelligent. He understood and could read and write several different languages, and was a master strategist at war.
Darksky1001able Not really. Conan lived during an age undreamed of, between the fall of Atlantis and the rise of the sons of Arius. In other words, the Hyborian Age is completely made up by Robert E. Howard. And in his world, the Cimmerians morphed into the Celts.
JD Berne Agreed. I find it amazing that this one film shaped Arnold’s acting career. If he hadn’t done this film he might have never gotten to where he was going. I just wish he hadn’t gone off into politics,he had some great films lined up to du but they never got done. I would have loved to see True Lies 2.
The part where Conan seems troubled by Subotai's statement about the four winds being greater than Crom makes me smile. Conans mind has just been blown!
Fun facts: The actor who plays "Subotai" is Gerry Lopez, who is a retired champion pro surfer from Hawaii. And the real Subotai was the top general and chief military strategist of Ghengis Khan back in the 13th century, considered by many to be the greatest and winning-est general in the history of warfare.
In my opinion Subotai is the greatest general in the history of warfare. Commanding over 700 hundred battle in his entire career. 700?! Not many people to even past 100.

Such a great movie. The set design and costumes look great, the combat is brutal and bloody without being over the top and cheesy and the soundtrack is amazing. The music really makes this movie when the characters are running through the wilderness with the beautiful music playing it is so good. Sure Arnold isn't at his peak yet acting wise but who cares? You can tell he cared about what he was doing and knew how to look convincing handling a sword. I love all of the conversations the characters have about their gods and what it means to be a mighty warrior. Such an underrated movie. Every frame looks like the best heavy metal album cover you've ever seen. I'd much rather watch Conan again over some over-budgeted superhero shlock fest any day.
They seriously knew how to make movies back in the 80s. This, Aliens, Die Hard, Robocop, there's all sorts of badass movies that came out of the 80s. I love this movie for all the reasons you named but also because to me, it feels almost real. I don't know if that makes sense or not but there's a feeling of authenticity that I don't get from movies made today. I see a CGI Wakanda, and it's beautiful and it looks great but in the back of my head I know it's all just CGI. I watch a fight scene where characters flip, do acrobatics like gymnasts, or worse, the fight scene is so shaky I can't even tell what the hell's going on. Then you see a movie like this, and you see these amazing landscapes and this ancient looking city and and it looks and feels real. It's not CGI, you would actually think this city truly existed somewhere, at some point in time. And when these characters fight, it feels real. It's not acrobatic shenanigans; it's raw, brutal, and ugly. I wish modern Hollywood would step back, dust off some of these old classics, and learn from them. There's a reason why they're classics.
I knew about Conan for many years before I watched it and thought it wold be kind of a cheesefest. But when I did I see it, I was impressed by its production values, music, simple but effective revenge plot and the thespians they managed to snag like James Earl Jones and Max von Sydow. And John Milius directed it!
Hell yeah, dude. Love that - heavy metal album covers! You’re right! Plus…. Gerry friggin Lopez. This role probably funded some amazing trips out to Indo for the empty sessions a g-land.
@Disappointed Turtle Yeah, that's basically it. I don't know if they intended it or not but the setting very much feels like a very ancient Central Asia.
Those two are pretty similar when you think about it. Tengri also has pet wolves and crows according the myth Boldag ugei boru ebugen (The Saga of Boru the Old) and he too is a bearded all-father figure.
Where did you read that Odin was a human? The only source I can think of is Snorri, and he wrote that so that his text would be accepted by christians.
I've always loved this scene the best from the whole movie because it rings true. Two barbarian guys out on the steppe sitting by their fire, getting to know one another, this is exactly how they would talk: Who are your gods? What re they like?
1:18 This is my favorite scene! Conan is finally free and has made his first real friend. And they go running across the steppes together when the world was young. The music by Basil Pouledouris makes it feel so epic. My brother died in 2021. When I die, I want to run across the fields in heaven with him in search of adventure.
I love Conan's reaction to Subotai pointing out that Crom lives under the Four Winds. I feel like that glare represents his first steps into a new world of different philosophies and teachings. He began to question his father's perspective on the Riddle of Steel.
You have to love this theological discussion- not "your god doesn't exist" or "he is really the Devil" but talking casually like comparing their dads or sports teams!
That's what is great about polytheism. Gods had their domains. If you found yourself in another god's domain you would give homage since it's their turf, while still maintaining fealty your own god. The god were also flawed, had character, and emotion. Monotheism fucked it all up with one ALL powerful god. They're the "infinity plus one" kid of religions. ALL knowing, ALL powerful, which of course causes logical problems when you start to think about it. And no one else allowed. It's mine or nothing. Both boring and an instant source of conflict.
@@PredatorPeyamiI mean initially the pagans of Northern Europe considered Jesus Christ just another god. So they would pay homage to Jesus and wear crosses, while also still participating in pagan rites.
I like that Conan ponder on Subotai sentence with a "you cheeky fucker" look, but he does'nt resent him for it. Its a great scene that shows that Conan isn't a mindless and stupid savage, he is Wild and Savage, but he's also smart and subtle in his own way, and i like that.
There's a great line in the novelization right after the "Your god lives underneath him." It's an internal monologue from Subotai: from the withering look Conan gave him, he realized it was probably best to let the conversation go at that.
That running scene plus the music just gives such a great feeling, hard to describe. It’s like adventurous, wonderment, cool friendship let see what’s out there type of feeling
Like two sailors on leave in Tijuana or Nana Soi in Bangkok. LOL! "Civilization, ancient and wicked. Have you ever seen this before? No. Let's waste no time!"
not true this is just a myth if you eat good enough and exercise you dont lose nothing i dont believe they are running like they are in a marathon from town to town
In one of the books he literally is swimming in the middle of the ocean and just jumps onto a pirate captians ship, they asked where he come from and he said land I forgot where which was miles away. Conan is physically strong very strong.
@@333arisokapoios bs normal warriors arent muscular like arnie was, no boxer and no soldier is a bodybuilderou must have great cardio and you must not have excess muscle mass that slows you down. modern bodybuilders eat supplements that increase water in their muscles, that way they gain the mass without gaining enough strength alongside it. its all for looks, not for practicality.
It's a fantasy age that never existed. I think he said it was something like 10-15,000 BC but that would put it in the Ice Age, which it plainly isn't. Much, much less was known about the prehistoric past when Howard was writing.
Two great Warriors discussing who's god is greater. Conan gives his 'my god is greater' reason and when Subotai responds, Conan says 'Cromm laughs at your Four Winds.' Something a little kid would say to someone to win an argument and get a laugh. However Subotai checkmates with 'your god lives underneath mine' proving his god is superior. Conan's look is priceless, the look of ' I don't like what you said, but you got me on that one.' Just love it.
Conan is most likely telling Subotai the tales he heard from his father when he was a kid; and Subotai would have been the first person he would have been able to talk about this stuff in like 20 years makes this scene both heartwarming and sad.
What a magical film. Can't believe I never saw it until this year. The older brother I never had would have surely shown me this. Remember to appreciate your older brothers.
I hope so too. He was my favourite character in this movie by far! Best companion! He was thief but he wasn't treacherous, he didn't have reason to follow Conan but he did, and when he could've just taken some of the gold and leave, he tracked down Conan with Valeria and saved him from the cross! Best friend! Loyal until the end! HE NEEDS TO COME BACK! SAME ACTOR AS WELL!
Which is how he is portrayed in Robert E. Howard's Conan stories. Although he's a barbarian with a barbarian's view of the world (civilization is bad, watch my back and I'll watch yours, always keep your word, etc.) Conan is clearly an intelligent man. The theological bantering with Subotai in these scene reminds me of Conan's view of the gods in the stories: while he clearly believes that Crom is the god of his people, the Cimmierians, he clearly also believes that all of the other gods exist. In the story the Phoenix on the Sword after he's become King of Aquilonia Conan has a dream sent by a prophet of Mitra, chief god of the Hyborians. Mitra is a stern yet benevolent god whose main enemy is the snake-god Set. Conan accepts the dream as having been sent by Mitra's prophet on it's face and he apparently accept's the prophet's pronouncement that even though he's a Cimmerian is an instrument of the god's will as King of Aquilonia. Conan is an older man at this point so his views on religion have matured. In a story set when he was younger, Queen of the Black Coast, he becomes the lover of the pirate queen Belit. At one point Conan and Belit have a discussion about the gods and he says more or less that while the gods exist praying to them is pointless. The goal of life should be to eat, drink and be merry.
Poledouris' score for this film is one of the greatest of all time. I struggle to think of anything that captures/creates the atmosphere of a movie like this score.
I love how the gods in the Conan-universe is like a mystical pantheon... Although it isn't. People recognise eachothers gods, but still think their god's superior. Even though I'm a an atheist I think it's a wonderful worldview. Give your neighbour the benefit of the doubt, Until they prove their beliefs to be true or false. Muthafuckin Conan!
Arnold and Mr.Pipeline (Gerry Lopez) What a cast.. Man, Gerry Lopez was the original Pipemaster..so much style and soul..and here he is, alongside Arnold. Totally rad.
GOD! This movie still holds up! Have any of you Conan fans checked out Soloman Kane? It is based on a famous Robert E Howard character. He wrote some great poems with the character as the central focus.
Two manly men casually debating their differences, accepting said differences, and going for a run. It's the complete opposite of the internet.

Two great Warriors discussing who's god is greater. Conan gives his 'my god is greater' reason and when Subotai responds, Conan says 'Cromm laughs at your Four Winds.' Something a little kid would say to someone to win an argument and get a laugh. However Subotai checkmates with 'your god lives underneath mine' proving his god is superior. Conan's look is priceless, the look of ' I don't like what you said, but you got me on that one.' Just love it.
Crom laughs at the four winds, laughs from his mountain!
Conan is most likely telling Subotai the tales he heard from his father when he was a kid; and Subotai would have been the first person he would have been able to talk about this stuff in like 20 years makes this scene both heartwarming and sad.
“It’s good” , “ you have know idea how long it’s been there” haha
What a magical film. Can't believe I never saw it until this year. The older brother I never had would have surely shown me this. Remember to appreciate your older brothers.
Best moment in a whole movie!!! I LOVE IT !
this clip is extremely underrated. love the music when they are running
Best moment is when he sucker punches the camel
Best movie soundtrack ever . So much feeling and emotion . When the strings come in on.this peice it's so uplifting . Brilliant.
Its one of the greatest movie ost's of all time.
One of the best soundtracks ever made for a movie
This is exactly the kind of conversation that would happen in a caravanserai along the ancient silk road
I hope they bring Sabutai back with the same actor in The Legend of Conan.
I hope so too. He was my favourite character in this movie by far! Best companion! He was thief but he wasn't treacherous, he didn't have reason to follow Conan but he did, and when he could've just taken some of the gold and leave, he tracked down Conan with Valeria and saved him from the cross! Best friend! Loyal until the end!
HE NEEDS TO COME BACK! SAME ACTOR AS WELL!
Subotai would make a fine lord in Conans kingdom.
Gerry Lopez. Believe it or not but he's like one of the best surfers of all time. A legend in that community.
The music to this movie...it’s so beautiful.
Just two Guys talking about their gods without fighting about it
I love the wide shots of each town, slowly panning to subtly remind you there's a snake tower in each one, without directly focusing on it.
"always learn from others". Conan was portrayed as a active learner in this movie.
Which is how he is portrayed in Robert E. Howard's Conan stories. Although he's a barbarian with a barbarian's view of the world (civilization is bad, watch my back and I'll watch yours, always keep your word, etc.) Conan is clearly an intelligent man. The theological bantering with Subotai in these scene reminds me of Conan's view of the gods in the stories: while he clearly believes that Crom is the god of his people, the Cimmierians, he clearly also believes that all of the other gods exist. In the story the Phoenix on the Sword after he's become King of Aquilonia Conan has a dream sent by a prophet of Mitra, chief god of the Hyborians. Mitra is a stern yet benevolent god whose main enemy is the snake-god Set.
Conan accepts the dream as having been sent by Mitra's prophet on it's face and he apparently accept's the prophet's pronouncement that even though he's a Cimmerian is an instrument of the god's will as King of Aquilonia. Conan is an older man at this point so his views on religion have matured. In a story set when he was younger, Queen of the Black Coast, he becomes the lover of the pirate queen Belit. At one point Conan and Belit have a discussion about the gods and he says more or less that while the gods exist praying to them is pointless. The goal of life should be to eat, drink and be merry.
Not only does Crom laugh at us. He laughs at us from his mountain! Just to underline our lowliness! Damn that laughing Crom!
A friendship more powerful than all the gawds combined.
Poledouris' score for this film is one of the greatest of all time. I struggle to think of anything that captures/creates the atmosphere of a movie like this score.
Theres something about this movie, maybe it's the setting or the music or the camera angles idk but this movie feels magical to me.
I've got to sit and watch this movie again....I mean, really _watch_ it. All of life's answers are contained within.
This movie is true greatness
Funny thing is this debate makes more sense than most of actual theology...
Conan's look @1:05 is definitely a meme:
"Dude, did you just make that up?" XD
This is loyalty and True Friendship! Sabotai even cried for Conan when Valeria Was Killed! #ILoveThisMovie
I’m just happy that Conan found a friend.
This is the most honest film I have ever viewed.
When philosophy was simple. "My god is greater! He's higher!"
LOL Frankie boy...agreed!!!
I love how the gods in the Conan-universe is like a mystical pantheon... Although it isn't. People recognise eachothers gods, but still think their god's superior. Even though I'm a an atheist I think it's a wonderful worldview. Give your neighbour the benefit of the doubt, Until they prove their beliefs to be true or false. Muthafuckin Conan!
Jaestro ok
@@htoodoh5770 Your "ok" made me laugh! I wrote this while drunk and you're like 'dude, calm down.' At least I read it like that. xD
My god is stronger! He laughs at your Atheism! Hahaha!
Abiogenesis is impossible!
You are the one that believes in fantasy!
Pretty much the way was before monotheism. The monotheists are "our god or die." But most cultures and religions were NOT that way.
The rule of steel is “to trade steel with steel”.
That look Conan gives him is priceless. 1:03
Fantastic scene. Great soundtrack. Great scenery. Just seems really exhausting. Really could have used some form of public transportation back then.
Beautiful Spain
Astalonte2 thanks ;)
This movie is a masterpiece
Mr Olympia and the Pipeline master as the best movie duo ever. Conan and Subotai. Prove me wrong
When you recruit a new party member in your fantasy rpg
The music is awesome
This is how I imagine the Eurasian steppe 10,000 years ago.
A barbarian and a ranger having a discussion on theology. This must be D&D 6th edition
In case anyone is wondering, the song is called theology by Basil Poledouris.
They just ran about 20 000 miles right there...
Arnold and Mr.Pipeline (Gerry Lopez)
What a cast..
Man, Gerry Lopez was the original Pipemaster..so much style and soul..and here he is, alongside Arnold. Totally rad.
Conan's reaction to visiting a city for the first time is adorable.
greatest movie ever
The music 🥰
Great movie further boosted by excellent casting.
wits and strength, together. True friendship is the base of human survival
GOD! This movie still holds up!
Have any of you Conan fans checked out Soloman Kane? It is based on a famous Robert E Howard character. He wrote some great poems with the character as the central focus.
damn, i want to run the steppes with my archer buddy
I like to imagine these are the conversations my Jack Russel and Mastiff have with each other
I so wish I could eat with Conan and Subotai, laugh, run and have adventures with them.
