IMDB User Comments
 
A role perfect for Arnold.
This like the terminator is a role that is just right for Arnold to play. Here he plays a warrior slave who as a child witnessed his mother killed at the hands of James Earl Jones who is a great bad guy here. He is raised as a slave and he becomes a fighter slave. He is one of the best until one day his master frees him. Once freed he meets allies and enemies alike as a king finally catches him after stealing stuff from this tower that worships snakes. The king requests Conan and his two friends to go find his daughter being held by James Earl Jones. At one point Conan is captured and left for dead before they infiltrate the base. Then near the end of the movie there is one heck of a battle between Jone's men and Conan that is really the highlight of the movie. One gripe though is that through the whole movie you expect Jone's character and Conan to have an epic battle...the ending is still satisfying even though that doesn't really come about.
