Conan the Destroyer

I actually think thats the best one simply for the fact that it had a plot with had a beginning, middle and end. you know the stakes from the start.

The first movie. Really doesnt. Its just a series of events that sometimes connect. Its more an introspective movie/character study and the person who plays the lead character doesnt know English yet so we cant get his words in often so it just feels like Arnold bumbling around while everyone else explains to him the thoughts hs supposed to be having. ts a very stupid movie that just happens to have Thulsa Doom as the best god damn thing every time hes on the screen.

really the first Conan movie is kinda crap. destroyer was an improvement in every way except the number of boobs you see (which really doesnt matter for the story)

The sets and monster effects are also really cool. It's just a great movie, imo. Never seen Red Sonja

Same. I like old comedies, the Pauley Shore ones, the Adam Sandler ones, the SNL ones, etc.

the whole Paul Blart mall cop series

Most Zack Snyder stuff

I would imagine the ToU enjoys movies that don't break itself.

The Garbage Pail Kids Movie

I never know what is or isn't popular. I like most of the movies listed so far.

Conan the Destroyer was one of the first DVDs I ever bought and I thought Your Highness put a ton of effort into the music and costumes.

I guess the only one I know for sure is Terminator: Dark Fate. I thought it was alright and may buy a copy but it seems a ton of people couldn't stand it.

There are people who don't like that movie? That's crazy to me.

See, I thought I liked Conan the Destroyer because Tia Carerre was a hot evil sorceress in it, but it turned out that was Kull the Conqueror so I dont remember Conan the Destroyer apparently lol.

Okay, I actually went back to watch Conan the barbarism because of this topic. And, Im not sure if I always watched a shortened edition before but, this movie is both longer and better than I remembered, but oh lord itits an arthouse film in disguise. It takes 13 minutes to even get Conans village to be attacked, and in that 13 minutes there are 2 paragraphs of dialogue.

And this trend just continues throughout the whole movie. There are so many musical montages in this film. You just have to remember this one line from 58 minutes ago because they never remind you of it. Heck, half the important plot points are given as characters run away from the camera, clearly added in after the fact. Probably because audiences didnt get how any of these random scenes in the first 45 minutes (it takes way too long to get back to the snake cult plot) even connect.

overall I liked it.

like there is a lot of visual storytelling going on. Lots of subtle details like the sword in the end being the one from the intro, or Conans pose from the gladiator rings. Its all there, or could be inferred (they never do outright say if thulsa doom can hypnotize people or not by staring at them but I think its implied).

And arguably every line of dialogue not said by Arnold (except the to hell with you speech at the end) are very important. For a pure words to worth ratio, this is up there with the first mission impossible. Every line is important and basically grandiose philosophizing. Its just that theres 10 minutes between every line. This is a 2 hour film with 4 minutes worth of dialogue. Every single scene is a musical montage. Every single scene.

but even with all of that, good movie. I enjoyed it. But its still an arthouse film in disguise. And I can see why younger me really didnt like this.

the best parts are still thulsa doom and the power of flesh vs steel speech. Even if James earl jones calling himself everyones father was a bit tongue in cheek

Conan the Destroyer has Grace Jones

who is clearly Sheeva

Don't @ me!!!!

The Adam sandler grown ups movies. Theyre so stupid and childish that theyre just fun to watch.

Same goes for most of the adam sandler comedies tbh. Theyre so stupid but also so enjoyable

(from what I can tell, Sheeva was actually created using a particularly impressive miniature. I never really thought about it, or questioned how Sheeva was created for Mortal Kombat until now, but it makes sense. Goro is similar, although Sheeva is much more convincing.)

From what I can tell is based on Grace Jones from that shoot, in terms of physique, lighting, and attire

Think I recognized the leg shape XD

Mm. The feet give it away. A winner is me!!!

Yeah Im gonna have to watch Conan the destroyer tomorrowwell today but you get the point. Im going to bed and Ill watch it tonight. Unlike the first movie, the sequel currently is on Netflix.

:)

Incredible.

Grown Ups 1 is one of those movies I can throw on any number of times and it will always make me laugh without me getting tired of it. I like most of Sandlers movies, but Id get tired of them if I watched them over and over. Not that one.

All this talk of Mortal Kombat has reminded me of Big Trouble In Little China which is basically the Mortal Kombat movie before the game existed. Seriously go watch it and see how many things you can spot that appear in the Mortal Kombat series.

Showdown in Little Tokyo also is great. The only similarity though is Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa as the villain.
