Recently went to Walmart and found a DVD containing both Conan The Barbarian and Conan The Destroyer, all for the great price of $9.95!
Can't beat those type of deals. I prefer the first movie, but Destroyer is not bad either. Yes, there's a couple of cheezy 80's elements, but come on, they didn't have CGI back then. Still, classic productions in my opinion.
I have heard that John Milius (director of Conan The Barbarian) is planning on filming a 3rd Conan. All I can say is: About Freakin' Time!
I hope they don't skimp on production costs. A legendary character like Conan deserves a great movie. I also bought the 2 Conan compilations: Conan The Cimmerian and The Bloody Crown of Conan which contain a plethora of Conan short stories by the former master and inovator of the Fantasy genre, Robert E. Howard. Furthermore, for those of you who are interested in Howard, you might want to check out The Whole Wide World, a 1996 movie starring Renee Zellwegger (of Jerry McGuire fame) and Vincent D'onofrio (Law & Order...forget which one). Howard was somewhat of an eccentric character, but boy could he write.
