Conan the Barbarian / James Earl Jones as Thulsa Doom

Thulsa's armor from his first appearance is ornate, symbolic, and dowright alien-looking. This definitely contributes to the feeling of a story taking place so far in the mythic past that no visual records survive. Snakes will become his motif throughout the film, of course, but the eyes on his breastplate are downright creepy.

The costume designers for this movie were Ann and John Bloomfield. They have a really eclectic portfolio of other work including a few episodes of Doctor Who, The Six Wives of Henry VIII, Robin Hood Prince of Thieves, and The Mummy!

In honor of Conan the Barbarian joining the MK 1 roster this week I recreated the classic Conan movie poster from 1982, you can compare side to side with the old original. Of course this was done in my style and no way trying to copy it stroke by stroke. I had also tried using the painting technique of well known comic artist Alex Ross where he first render the artwork in black and white before layering it up with color. While not perfect it did come out better than expected and I am looking forward to perfecting this technique in future works.

Gary Gygax panned Conan the Barbarian and The Sword & the Sorcerer, slightly preferring the latter (Dragon magazine #63, July 1982). He noted that Conan had very little of Howard's Conan in it*, but couldn't resist some petty nerd rage about hair color.

Fantasy films as a genre had earned a poor reputation in the late 1970s and early 80s, compared to some of the classics of sci-fi and pulp adventure being released at the same time. Gygax promised they were carefully taking their time making their Dungeons & Dragons movie planned for 1984 or 85, aiming for the high standards of Star Wars and Raiders.

That film never was made, but judging from the script that eventually resurfaced in Brian Blume's collection it could have been worse than the 2000 effort and its sequels. Jon Peterson wrote about that 1980s script in 2015, summarizing a story of ordinary people from our world being pulled into a fantasy realm -- an idea left over from Andre Norton's 1979 novel Quag Keep, which was recycled into the 1983-85 Dungeons & Dragons cartoon. There are tired themes of a Chosen One and a capital "C" Child destined to inherit great power, main characters who accomplish little by themselves and repeatedly need saving by more powerful NPCs, and almost all of the monsters are new creations, showing no attempt to represent familiar creatures and spells from the game. We would have to wait 40 years for a movie that dodged those pitfalls.

(*Slight edit here, as while I was one of many viewers baffled by Conan facing the wrong villain, who had the wrong appearance for that name, I enjoyed the movie more than GG did and thought the character and world felt enough like Conan for me.)

Ye may well know that Conan the Barbarian (1982) is a solid contender for best movie soundtrack of the 1980s.

What you may not know is that the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra performed it in 2010 and made it even better.

Those flutes at 0:58 are just... *chef's kiss*
