What's the deal with this movie? I just watched it for the first time.
So some Germanic-ish Aryan-ish tribe gets raided by the nigger mutt's crew. Little kid watched his mother get her head chopped off by said nigger mutt.
Little kid grows up, falls in love with a lady gaga looking blonde jew slut.
Then jew slut is killed by the nigger mutt king.
Next, Conan chops off the king nigger mutt's head. After that, the nigger mutt's wife slut, the "princess" (a jew looking hot chick), she is taken away by Conan.
Basically, Conan kill the nigger mutt king and falls in love with a jew woman.

Nothing to do with the film, but an interesting talk about the background of the author and his views of the world. Bowden never disappoints. youtube.com/watch?v=e_CVfJrt6y8
Both Conan movies are based as fuck. This was long before CGI, so all those scenes you see with horses flying through the air and Based Arnold punching horses and camels actually happened. According to rumors, numerous horses were killed during shooting either on-screen or afterwards had to be put down due to injuries. There was such an uproar by (((them))) about the animal abuse that it started the whole "no animals were harmed during the making of this film" shit afterwards.

Steel is brittle and flesh is weak, but the will is indomitable
It quotes Nietzche at the start for fuck's sake
Robert Martin
Brigitte Nielsen?
Angel Stewart
Shut the fuck up you giant faggot Conan is one of the greatest movies of all times. A tale of high adventure with one of the best soundtracks in cinema history.
Juan Turner
I don't remember this episode of Xena.
Camden Lewis
Did you not see the nigger mutt turn into a giant snake? Its literally about a hyper-dimensional reptilian with esoteric wisdom that uses it to form a cult around himself where he is worshiped by human slaves as a god,
>Basil Poledouris - Riddle Of Steel / Riders Of Doom Great taste
Ryan Ross
You're an idiot. Titanic is the best movie of all time.
Levi Howard
It's an adaptation of a novel series. Metaphorical journey of the hero using the raw masculine archetype.
Robert Morris
tell me more
Dominic Clark
It tells the truth about how the world works. Snake cults, the power of controlling people.
"What is steel compared to the hand that wields it?"
Jaxson Mitchell
It's pretty epic. Was a pure testosterone rush for me when I was a kid. Same with old school sinbad movies or the golden fleece etc..

>Is that the movie? If you were dull enough to miss all of the messages in it, kinda.
Not to mention the 10/10 score.
Leo Gray
OP is a god damned turbofag. Robert Howard's books are based as fuck. Watched this film constantly when I was a kid. I'm pretty sure I was exposed to it in 85-86. Don't forget Clash of the Titans and Beastmaster.
I thought the point of the movie that it was a combination of flesh and steel that was strongest. Thulsa Doom almost wins over Conan at the end of the movie until Conan remembers and feels what is in his grip; STEEL.
Cooper Myers
also the whole crucifiction rise from the dead jesus part of the movie. That was pretty gay
That's literally Thulsa Dooms viewpoint though, pure will. Conan finally solves the riddle of steel at the end of the movie, something Doom couldn't do.
Steel is only as strong as the flesh that wields it!
Gonad the Barbituate
Jonathan Turner
Thulsa was trying to do the same brainwashing magic he did on Conan's mother. He's wearing the bright blue contacts to cue you in on it but it's dark so you can't see it, though, your interpretation is basically spot on other than that. Conan wouldn't bend to weak rhetoric like that.
Austin Campbell
hmm youre probably right. put me on the tree. the /co/ /tv/ fag explained it better than I.
Landon Ross
>Conan wouldn't bend to weak rhetoric like that.
The rhetoric wasn't weak, he literally was the main reason for Conan's existence and being up until that point. I get that he was trying to use his snake shit though.
Jaxon Ward
>He's wearing the bright blue contacts to cue you in on it Pretty sure Thulsa's character has blue eyes because he's the last Atlantean. That's why he has no problems killing hundreds of humans to get his ancestral sword back, and does crazy shit like deciding to a make a snake cult.
Still a great movie Can I get a link to this thread? Right. James Earl Jones was chosen for his foreign face and complexion, and then given straight black hair and blue eyes to make him seem like someone from a long lost race.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassins >However, it is unknown how Hassan-i-Sabbah was able to get his "Fida'in" to perform with such fervent loyalty. One theory, possibly the best known but also the most criticized, comes from the reports of Marco Polo during his travels to the Orient. He recounts a story he heard, of the "Old Man of the Mountain" (Sabbah) who would drug his young followers with hashish, lead them to a "paradise", and then claim that only he had the means to allow for their return. Perceiving that Sabbah was either a prophet or magician, his disciples, believing that only he could return them to "paradise", were fully committed to his cause and willing to carry out his every request.
Heres some leads for OP to follow if he so chooses. The movies was dropping some real esoteric shit desu.
sorry its /co/ or /tv/ theres a screenshot around though. go to archives search riddle of steel maybe?
Matthew Lewis
I love that movie. Conan The Destroyer more so.
Daniel Baker
>Can I get a link to this thread? Searching the /tv/ archive for 'riddle of steel' might turn it up, going to check myself.
Landon Thompson
Nigga, the sword was clearly broken at the end. His father was wrong all along. CONAN and his WILL did all of those badarse things, not some shitty sword.
Also, he had help in the form of his gang.
Brandon Taylor
>Pol, what is best in life
Overthink dumb movies, make non political threads, hear the lamenting of the oldfags.
Dylan Bailey
>he really could trust his girl >he really could trust his mongol friend >he really could trust his muscles >sliced his own father's sword in half
Are you stupid? Conan is the best movie ever made, you would do well to bow before it next time you watch it. Also, the sequel is even better, as if that was somehow even remotely possible
Anthony Collins
My favorite part of that movie was early on when Conan was locked in a cage and they threw in this 10/10 pale white qt from one of the weird steppeherder tribes and the narrator was all like "They bred him for the ultimate genetics" or some shit like that
To think that shit could have been reality if the Nazis won
Daniel Price
it's a fucking 1980s arnie movie. stop trying to find any meaning in it. it's pure entertainment. you fucking commie
Christopher Mitchell
You're embarrassingly stupid if you actually think this.
Xavier Cook
>is one of the greatest movies of all times. It's not very good, it's pretty bad actually But it's bad in a way that makes it good again, and the soundtrack (which is indeed spectacular) makes it epic. Somehow it ends being badgood but so manly and epic that every mancard carrier is required to watch at least twice a year, preferably while doing biceps curls and slapping girls on their ass.
Ian King
sounds like something that would be posted on badassoftheweek.com
but it's also not really wrong.
Brayden James
Congratulations on starting a real thread reddit-kun.
Andrew Johnson
wasn't that a mongol/subatai person?
Nathan Long
The original stories by Robert E Howard are red pulled as fuck. Solomon Kane and Bran Mak Morn are great characters as well. The noble white man vs the swarthy savage is a constant theme.
Kevin Allen
The answer is that this is a near perfect movie and you are a retard.
>kill your enemies >enslave bitches That is the whole point of Conan. Truly, something to aspire too. I recommend reading the works of Robert E. Howard.
Cameron Davis
It hasn't aged well. Really cheesy.
Landon Cox
Fantastic movie. Everything about it is very well done. It's actually my favorite Stone movie. Though I really like Doors. Also has a kick ass soundtrack youtube.com/watch?v=3xUI8SwcAzA
Ryan Williams
The script had a deleted line "It matters not the steel in the blade, but the steel in the man." Sums it up nicely
Jose Price
The point of the film was the will to use the flesh and steel.
Kevin Nguyen
Conan never died, that was the difference between him and jesus. The fucker just kept on trucking being crucified.
