History Film / ConanTheBarbarian2011

* BerserkButton: Conan's is slavery.

* DaddysLittleVillain: Marique to Khalar Zym.

** TheDragon: Zym's daughter Marique

* HeroicSuicide: Conan's father kills himself so that Conan will survive.

* RaceLift: Conan is best known as being portrayed by Caucasian (Austrian) actor Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger. In the 2011 film, however, he is played by Jason Momoa, a multiracial actor of Native Hawaiian, German, Irish and Native American descent. ([[JustifiedTrope Justified]] because Jason's one of the few actors with the utterly MASSIVE HeroicBuild that Arnold had in his youth.)
** According to Howard's "The Hyborian Age", the Irish and Scottish are direct descendants of the Cimmerians, while the Germanic peoples are of mixed Aesir, Vanir and Cimmerian descent. Make of that what you will.
** Howard's writings and physical description of our protagonist also implied that Conan had reasonably dark skin, most likely a heavy tan from being out in the sun traveling so much.
** Most importantly however, Conan, [[AuthorAppeal like all of Howard's heroes except for Al-Barak]], was a Gael or Gaelic facsimile. Jason Momoa... does ''not'' look Gaelic. At least the Schwarzenegger films combined the Cimmerians with the Aesir and Vanir.

Years later, Khalar Zym has completed the Mask and now seeks the last [[BlueBlood pure-blooded]] descendant of the Acheron rulers to sacrifice, in order to unleash the Mask's power. He and his {{Mooks}} again cross paths with Conan, who resolves to oppose them. In the course of events he runs into a female monk named Tamara, the very person Khalar Zym seeks...

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Khalar Zim seems to genuinely love his daughter Marique, along with her late mother. Marique's love toward him also seems genuine, though in her case crosses into [[VillainousIncest inappropriate feelings]].
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Marique says that she can unlock the Acheronian magic and rule by her father's side just as well as his wife once did, trying to seduce him with VillainousIncest. Khalar Zym considers how much she is like her dead mother and teases her lips, only to reject her.

** [[FridgeBrilliance Maybe that's why Khalar Zym couldn't beat Conan at the end? He only got half the power.]]

* WalkingShirtlessScene: Since Conan becomes an adult, he looks like he did not own a single shirt.
** He wears chest armour late in the movie... the kind that is shaped like a muscled torso, and is pretty much the same colour as his skin, so he looks shirtless anyway.

''Conan the Barbarian'' is a 2011 film featuring [[Franchise/ConanTheBarbarian Conan of Cimmeria]], the classic BarbarianHero created by pulp writer Creator/RobertEHoward. It stars Creator/JasonMomoa as Conan, Creator/RachelNichols as the LoveInterest Tamara, and [[Film/{{Avatar}} Stephen Lang]] and Creator/RoseMcGowan as the villains Khalar Zym and Marique. It is directed by [[Film/{{Pathfinder}} Marcus]] [[Film/TheTexasChainsawMassacre2003 Nispel]].

* DoubleWeapon[=/=]BifurcatedWeapon: Khalar Zym has two swords connected by a hinge at the hilt. They can lock together to form a single sword with two blades, but can also separate in combat for unexpected attacks.

* CanonForeigner: Uh, ''everyone'', apart from Conan and [[Literature/TheTowerOfTheElephant sorcerer Yara]] mentioned offhandedly.

* ElementalEmbodiment: Marique conjure some surprisingly nimble Sand Elementals to fight Conan.

--> ''"You swore you will spare my life!"''

* FantasyCounterpartCulture: Of a mixed variety, e.g. Shaipur monastery seems to be half-Greek, half-Far Eastern in origin.

* HeroicSacrifice: Conan's father kills himself so that Conan will survive.

** To Howard's original stories. For example, just after a BarBrawl Artus alludes to the story told by Howard in "Literature/TheTowerOfTheElephant". (Which would probably make even more sense if the city of thieves was not renamed from Arenjun to Argalon.)

* PregnantBadass: Conan's mom. She gives him birth on a battle chariot, immediately after slaying one of her enemies, sword in hand, armoured and all. The Caesarean cut is done by the father with his sword, no less - so that a sword is the first thing seen by Conan outside of his mother's womb.

* AdvancedAncientAcropolis: The monastery of Shaipur. The monks (or at least their leader) can predict future and presumably spend the majority of their time studying, when everyone around them is busy with butchering each other.

* RaceLift: Conan is best known as being portrayed by a Caucasian (Austrian) actor, Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger. In the 2011 film, however, he is played by Jason Momoa, a multiracial actor of Native Hawaiian, German, Irish and Native American descent.

** Most importantly however, Conan, [[AuthorAppeal like all of Howard's heroes except for Al-Barak]], was a Gael or Gaelic facsimile. Jason Mamoa... does ''not'' look Gaelic. At least the Schwarzenegger films combined the Cimmerians with the Aesir and Vanir.

* CastingGag: Back in 2008 there was a project for a new ''Comicbook/RedSonja'' movie to be directed by Creator/RobertRodriguez and starring Creator/RoseMcGowan. The project fell through... but now [=McGowan=] is an evil witch in the new Conan movie.

* EyeOfNewt: Marique needs blood to perform some of her magic. Also, her outfit is rather terrifying - one may wonder whether it's just a matter of personal style or, somehow, a necessity for every witch. The latter option is made even more probable by the fact that her mother used to dress in a very similar way... Then again, Marique clearly has [[FreudWasRight some issues]].

* AnnoyingArrows: Conan's father is shot by an arrow from behind, on his lower-left side. He doesn't go down, but it provides a crucial distraction for another solider to punch him in the face.

* ThreeDMovie: Planned for and shot in 2D, it was a post-conversion by eight different outside companies. Predictably, the results are very hit-and-miss.

** The movie was announced to be TruerToTheText but a lot of details seem to be taken from the Arnold ones anyway. Conan didn't have an EvilOverlord [[DoomedHometown destroy his hometown]] in Howard's stories, but he did in the first ''[[Film/ConanTheBarbarian1982 Conan the Barbarian]]''. Nor did he have a thief sidekick (of sorts), but he did in ''Film/ConanTheDestroyer''.
