A ContinuityReboot, also called ''Film/{{Conan the Barbarian|2011}}'', came out in 2011, and although it was a box office disappointment, it - like this movie - did help to propel its own star (Creator/JasonMomoa) to stardom. All other ''Conan'' projects have been stuck in DevelopmentHell since.

''Conan the Barbarian'' is a 1982 film produced by Creator/UniversalPictures in association with Dino De Laurentiis, starring Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger as Franchise/ConanTheBarbarian, Creator/JamesEarlJones as Thulsa Doom, Creator/{{Mako}} as The Wizard and Creator/SandahlBergman as Valeria. It was directed by Creator/JohnMilius, who co-wrote it with Creator/OliverStone. The [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic highly regarded soundtrack]] was composed by Music/BasilPoledouris.

The film put [[Creator/FriedrichNietzsche Nietzschean philosophy]] together with an epic tale of revenge. While it wasn't very accurate to the original Creator/RobertEHoward pulp stories, hewing more to [[BroadStrokes Stone's ideas]] filtered through [[CrackPairing Milius' direction]], it has become a CultClassic. [[StarMakingRole It helped propel Schwarzenegger to mega-stardom]].
