You shouldn’t look at it so harshly, Kapoteeni! ![]()
The first motion picture from 1982 was a totally colorful mix of content from different stories that were completely taken out of context and thrown together wildly:
Valeria was included, but was no longer a pirate bride and was introduced in a scene that takes place on the Elephant’s Tower alludes to - without the Elephant’s Tower appearing.
The crucifixion from A Witch Will Be Born appears superficially, although it has a different background in the novel than in John Milius’ film … But luckily Funcom actually quotes Conan in the intro of Conan Exiles and lets him say that, which he also says in A Witch Will Be Born: “You civilized men are soft. Your lives are not nailed to your spines as are ours.” ![]()
If the film really gets made and we finally see Arnie in this movie role …
… then I wouldn’t be surprised that one or more children of his own are placed alongside him in the film and that the topic of generational conflict is perhaps discussed.
EDIT
I just stumbled upon this on YouTube:
Here it is shown how the successful assassination attempt on King Osric of Zamora was filmed, but was ultimately cut out of the film.
I think this is also a reference to one of the stories from the Conan universe, in which a young Conan was framed for the murdering of King of Zamora. If I remember correctly, that wasn’t even one of Robert Ervin Howard’s Conan stories - but another snippet from the seemingly inexhaustible pool of many Conan the Cimmerian stories.
