THIEF. WARRIOR. GLADIATOR. KING.

Ripped from the pages of Robert E. Howard's beloved pulp stories, 1982's Conan the Barbarian and its sequel, 1984's Conan the Destroyer, not only popularized a new subgenre - the sword-and-sorcery film - but also made a cinematic icon of the star playing the titular hero, former bodybuilding sensation Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Conan the Barbarian, from maverick filmmaker John Milius, sees the Cimmerian thief and future king rise up from slavery to become an unparalleled and fearsome warrior, intent on vengeance against the evil snake cult that slaughtered his family long ago, led by the shape-shifting sorcerer Thulsa Doom (James Earl Jones). In the sequel, helmed by action veteran Richard Fleischer, Conan finds himself escorting a young princess on a quest for a mythical horn that will awaken a slumbering god, battling an onslaught of evil beasts, wizards and cannibals along the way.

At long last, these glorious odes to the days of high adventure have been restored in stunning 4K with hours of bonus features and heart-racing Atmos remixes that immerse you in the action, accompanied throughout by electrifying music scores by the late Basil Poledouris (RoboCop). If you do not listen... then to hell with you!

    Dazu brauch man nicht viel sagen. Zu wenige Kampfszenen und viel zu viele Effekte. Die Story sowie Schwarzenegger wieder als Conan halten den Film über wasser. Der erste war und ist tausend mal besser.

  • Conan

    Der zweite Teil ist nicht ganz gelungen im Gegensatz zum Vorgänger. Manchmal zu humorvoll, was nicht so dazu passt. Die Story ist auch nicht so gut. Trotzdem von der Ausstattung her und Effekten zur damaligen Zeit OK.
