Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential video:
Conan the Barbarian, the movie that turned Arnold Schwarzenegger into a global superstar, is a prime example of a match made in heaven. It's the movie that macho maverick writer-director John Milius was born to make, and Arnold was genetically engineered for his role as the muscle-bound, angst-ridden hero created in Robert E. Howard's pulp novels. Oliver Stone contributed to Milius's screenplay, and the production design by comic artist Ron Cobb represents a perfect cinematic realization of Howard's fantasy world. To avenge the murder of his parents, Conan tracks down the evil Thulsa Doom (James Earl Jones) with the help of Queen Valeria (played by buff B-movie vixen Sandahl Bergman) and Subotai the Mongol (Gerry Lopez). Aptly described by critic Roger Ebert as "the perfect fantasy for the alienated pre-adolescent," this blockbuster is just as enjoyable for adults who haven't lost their youthful imagination. --Jeff Shannon

This movie is great! Shipped fast! As described! No problems! Happy to see it again after all these years! Brings me back to the early days of Dungeons & Dragons, when men were men, women were women, and small furry animals were ... oh you get the picture.

Violent and entertaining, both films are, in the end, a real disappointment to anyone who is actually familiar with the 21 Conan stories of Robert E. Howard -- and I don't mean via Marvel Comics. I mean those original tales that predominately appeared between 1933 and 1936. (A few that were found after Howard's death appeared in the 1950's in various sf & fantasy magazines.) Published in the legendary WEIRD TALES magazine at a time when that publication also featured the fiction of H.P. Lovecraft, ... Read More

Young Conan's parents are murdered by a horde of vicious warriors who then enslave the young child for years. He is eventually released from slavery and taught the ancient arts of fighting. Transforming himself into a killing machine, Conan travels into the wilderness seeking vengeance on the man responsible for his family's murder. Conan the Barbarian is a very well made movie. The action is exciting, the visuals are great, the directing, story, everything about this movie is incredible.

When Conan the Barbarian came out on video in 1981 I was one of the first to get it. The film has not lost the impact it had on me then as a 20 year old, and stands way out ahead of all those pitiable sword and sorcery films that came in its wake, including the appalling sequel Conan the Destroyer.
Why do I hold this so high in my esteem? Certainly not in the quality of acting; when you have two body builders, a surfer, a sports star and a dancer as five of the main actors in this film, ... Read More

OK, was the Amazon server hacked or what? Starring Luis Barboo? What the bloody hell is going on here; is this an All Hallow's Eve prank? Could someone please explain how Luis Barboo can be listed in the lead role when we know it is 'the Governator'!
