Conan the Destroyer

I caught this movie on cable the other day. It was an amazing fantasy-action movie with Arnold Shwartsanegger (sp?) in it as a powerful warrior. It's got all of the sword-fighting and adventure and magic that you could ask for. However, the best part of the entire movie is when Conan the Destroyer gets drunk and confronts a camel. The camel spits a foul looking foam all over Conan the Destroyer's face. He gives it this amazing look and then POW!!! He throws a hay-maker style punch right to the camel's face and knocks it out cold!!! This has got to be one of my favorite scenes in just about any movie, ever. This 5-star punch makes this a Tuttleman approved, 5 star movie. It makes me want to punch a camel SOOOO bad in real life. I made a promise to myself that I will knock out a camel before I die, even if it's a zoo-camel that just happens to "get too close" to the cage-bars. And no, I'm not kidding or trying to be funny.

In conclusion, when I make my video compilation of the top 100 greatest action scenes ever laid to film, this will be right up there along side that part in Resident Evil where the girl kicks a dog out of mid-air with a slow-motion kick to the chin. And also a scene from a movie Lyle showed me called "Zombie" where a zombie leaps over-board off of a boat and takes on the great-white-shark, one-on-one. Also that part in Crocodile-Dundee where Crocidile Dundee wrestles a crocodile and stabs it through the skull with a bowie-knife. I love animal-action scenes where people fight animals in movies!!! It's one of my favorite kinds of conflicts: Man vs. Animal!!!

Alright, I'm highly inspired to go work on that tape now. I don't want to write anymore right now so go do something else please. Later.

Actually this movie was a let down to its predecessor. Nothing could beat barbarians slicing each other to bloody pulp with kick ass orchestration in the background! Watch Conan the Barbarian and you'll know what I'm talking about!

I agree with Plecostomus, I saw Barbarian first and I loved it. What you expect from an Oliver Stone script? The action was intense, the story is deep, and the cinematic was amazing. It was like watching Lord of the Rings before LOTR. The destroyer was such a let down because the story was so trimmed down and made for the kids, even the story was kiddie fied. I hope they could make another connan and put the gore back in.

Andre The Giant was never credited for playing the role of the evil god Dagoth in this movie.

i just remember the only saving grace was the princess who was a real betty (played by olivia d'abo, future karen arnold on the wonder years)......and grace jones was scarier than the monster at the end!
