History Awesome / ConanTheBarbarian1982

--> '''Conan:''' ''Crom.'' I have never prayed to you before. I have no tongue for it. No one, not even ''you'', will remember if we were ''good'' men or ''bad''. ''Why'' we fought, or why we ''died.'' No. All that matters is that two stood against many. ''That's'' what's important! Valour pleases you Crom, so grant me one request... ''Grant me revenge!'' And if you do not listen, then ''[[BlasphemousBoast the hell with you!]]''

--> "Between the time when the oceans drank Atlantis and the rise of the sons of Aryus, there was an age undreamed of. And unto this, Conan! Destined to bear the jeweled crown of Aquilonia upon a troubled brow. It is I, his chronicler, who alone can tell thee of his saga! Let me tell you of the days of high adventure!!"
* That forging scene. Yeah, it's not exactly TruthInTelevision. But its cinematography cannot be denied.
* Conan's Dad killing about five of the cult's ''mounted'' raiders by himself and dodging Thorgrim's whack-a-villager battle hammer before having to be brought low by a BackStab and setting war hounds on him, ''while mortally wounded.''
* Although the scenes of her kills were cut out of the final film, Conan's mother wields a sword that has blood on it, show-casing her own skill with steel. Doom has to hypnotize her with his sorcery / Atlantean powers, then take her head off with her husband's blade. What's notable is that even Rexor and Thorgrim are wary of coming within range of her before their master deals with her and both [[WorthyOpponent remove their helmets respectfully]] beforehand.

** They push and drive their horses into spike traps, use the terrain and monoliths to launch tag-team attacks and otherwise butcher those fools to the last.
** Conan throwing one of his axes clean through a guy's chest and launching him off his horse, or laying one's leg open in the saddle so that he plows into the sand. He also takes Thorgrim's mallet to the face and gets up again ''seconds'' later; this being doled out by the same man who felled a massive marble pillar with just ''two'' strikes!

* An all-too brief moment; Conan shatters his father's sword, slaughters Rexor and wins back his heritage. After examining the broken haft for a moment - Basil Poledouris' score setting the mood nicely - Conan turns to Valeria's funeral pyre and raises both his father's sword and his own in salute, as he would do during his pit fighter days.

* When he got wasted and bumped into a camel, and than just turns around and knocks it out with one punch to the face. (Although said camel did not survive the filming of that scene; getting punched out by a young Ahnuld tends to mess up your medical records. You will notice that there isn't a 'No Animals Were Harmed' declaration at the end of this particular flick.)

** Mako saving Subotai by a skewering a rider from behind. "I did it... WITH MY SPEAR! ''WAHAAAA''!"

* Conan taking out Rexor's mount with an awesome [[ScreamingWarrior tactical charge sweep]] and using a booby trap to impale Thorgrim.

* The awesome hilltop battle. Conan has neglected the Discipline of Steel in the past, but he is wiser now. Together with Subotai, they don't run from or into the battle; they let it come to them, and when it comes, they are ready. All that's important is that two stood against many. They know the gods are watching, but ask for no favours, save for one request; revenge.

* Conan's final bout with Rexor. The choreography is simple and the exchange is short. One of the best sword fight's ever? ''Hell. Yes.''

* BasilPoledouris' AwesomeMusic, special mention to [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57EPEfJ5fzw Riddle of Steel / Riders of Doom]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZY2mRG5mzg Anvil of Crom]].

* Valeria scaring away the spirits that come for Conan's soul during Mako's healing ritual. And her promise to pay any price. Even ''[[Memeticbadass Conan]]'' doesn't deserve her!

* Valeria's [[DeadExMachina return from the dead]] to help Conan in his hour of need.

* That forging scene. Yeah, it's not exactly TruthInTelevison. But its cinematography cannot be denied.

* The 'Wheel of Pain' supposedly turning the tiny child-actor Jorge Sanz into a hulking Arnie. Such is the power of cinema! Followed by his gladiator days, training montage in the ways of war and tactics, but not without including this immortal gem.

* When our hero is crucified to the [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Tree of Woe]]. He survives up there in the beating sun with no water for ''three days.'' And when a vulture tries to peck his eyes out, Conan kills it biting into its scrawny throat and breaking its neck!
* Conan and team infiltrating the orgy, rescuing the Princess and wrecking the palace, with a little help from Thorgrim.

* Valeria's funeral pyre. Conan's told the gods won't allow any fire to burn on the Mound -- yet he lights it anyway, and it burns, and burns so hot it literally ''explodes''.
