History Awesome / ConanTheBarbarian1982

*** Another great detail from that scene is that after killing Doom, Conan doesn't go into a cool onliner or celebrates his victory, he simply sits down in silence to ponder for a while.

* Conan and Subotai get totally wasted as his friend takes him into a civilized city for the first time, as the two careen down the streets, drunk ''and'' high, Conan bumps into a camel, and than just turns around and with one punch to the face, ''knocks the camel on its ass.'

* Mako's opening narration will send chills down your spine.

(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.)

** 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 (weakened) but still massive marble pillar with just ''two'' strikes!

It's not every score than can take a film that's light on the dialogue and MAKE you pay attention.

--> '''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, ''[[BlasphemousBoast then the hell with you]]!''

--> '''Conan:''' [[MemeticMutation To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear de lamentations of deir vimen!]]

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

*** Even better, it wasn't a quick kill, either; Doom used the same sword at the beginning of the movie to decapitate Conan's mother with one swing, but Conan opted to hack Doom's head off, making sure he felt as much pain as possible.

* The awesome hilltop battle against around twenty riders of Doom and his {{CoDragons}}. 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.

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

--> '''Doom:''' ... Ah! It must have been when I was younger. There was a time, boy. When I searched for ''steel''. And steel meant more to me than gold or jewels.

** Plus, when the village is attacked by the Vanir, he kills about five of the cult's ''mounted'' raiders by himself and dodges Thorgrim's whack-a-villager battle hammer before having to be brought low by a [[BackStab hatchet to the spine]] and having war hounds set on him, ''while mortally wounded.''

--> '''Doom:''' Yes, you know what it is don't you, boy? Shall I tell you? It's the least I can do. ''Steel'' isn't strong, boy. ''Flesssh'', is stronger. Look around you, hm? There. On the rocks. That beautiful girl. Come to me, my child. ''(young woman leaps to her death)'' ... ''That'' is strength, boy! ''That'' is power! The strength and power of flesh! What is steel, compared to, ''the hand'', that wields it? ''Look'' at the strength of your body, the desire in your heart. ''I'' gave you this! ... Such a waste...

* The awesome hilltop battle against around ''thirty'' riders of Doom and his {{CoDragons}}. 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.

--> '''Rexor:''' ''[[HesBack You.]]''

** Also, the Cimmerian takes on both of Doom's [[BashBrothers lieutenants] at the same time and floors them both in the quick skirmish.

* Conan and team infiltrating the orgy, rescuing the Princess and wrecking the palace, with a little accidental help from Thorgrim.

* Conan's prayer to Crom when he is facing overwhelming odds in the upcoming final Battle of the Mounds:

--> '''Valeria:''' All the gods, they cannot sever us. If I were dead and still fighting for life I'd come back from darkness, back from the ''pit of Hell''. To fight at your side.

--> '''Valeria:''' All the gods, they cannot sever us. If I were dead and still fighting I'd come back from darkness, back from the pit of Hell. To fight at your side.

* 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 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''.

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

--> '''Doom:''' Yes, you know what it is don't you, boy? Shall I tell you? It's the least I can do. ''Steel'' isn't strong, boy. ''Flesssh'', is stronger. Look around you, hm? There. On the rocks.
