The directions this has gone reminded me of this........


Conan: What gods do you pray to?

Subotai: I pray to the four winds... and you?

Conan: To Crom... but I seldom pray to him, he doesn't listen.

Subotai: [chuckles] What good is he then? Ah, it's just as I've always said.

Conan: He is strong! If I die, I have to go before him, and he will ask me, "What is the riddle of cardboard?" If I don't know it, he will cast me out of Valhalla and laugh at me. That's Crom, strong on his mountain!

Subotai: Ah, my god is greater.

Conan: [chuckles] Crom laughs at your four winds. He laughs from his mountain.

Subotai: My god is stronger. He is the everlasting sky! Your god lives underneath him.

[Conan shoots Subotai a skeptical look. Subotai laughs]


With apologies to the writers of the original

Not a fan I guess?

I was refering to my swapping "cardboard" for "steel" in the quote. Something I think everyone missed.

Having finally read a few of the books it wasn't that bad a movie, could have been, but was saved by the only actor available at the time who would have been at all convincing.

Steve,

I got the reference, and yes, I thought it was a bad movie - but your post was excellent!

Thanks.

My sense of humor can be strange, and either is too obscure or too over the top at times. I seldom know if it's just missed or not funny.

If there are clips online of the original Hercules in NY check it out. Briefly. Arnolds accent was so bad they dubbed it with someone who had no accent. It makes Conan look like Oscar material.

I agree conan isn't great compared to some of the really great films, but it's way beyond the crop of really awful imitations that followed. There are very few action movies that work as serious films. And even fewer that come out of Hollywood.
