Boy - is that guy really that popular that I start arguing about his quotes?

Ha ha, yeah, I did that on purpose, since Arnie is mentioned as returning to the Conan franchise.

I liked Arnie as the mighty Cimmerian, with one noteable exception: when he fell down or was surprised, he bellowed that gay "Agghrruughh"

that totally ripped up his manly image. The producers certainly should have overdubbed that with some baritone actor.

I just hope they stick a little closer to Robert E. Howard's work. I hated the movies; not because they were bad but because they had so little of the original books in them.

They did have the crucification scene on the Tree of Woe!

That was awesome, buzzards beware!

Don't get me wrong, I was raised on 80's cheese and I loved it, but the acting is so bad in these movies they might as well put tons of sex in it and call it a porno.

Acting? What acting? Arnold is a fitting type for a certain kind of roles. but he is no more an actor in the artistic meaning of the word than is a trunk of wood acting in the role of a telephone pole. Most so-called stars and actors are no real good actors, they just found they match a certain stereotype that is wanted for a given kind of role.

I read most if not all of the Conan books long ago. I enjoyed the movie. For this one to be good, they need to pick a good lead character. I guess they will start looking at the WWF wrestlers again

I'm kinda sick of the Arnie can't act steroetype... sure there are some movies he's not that great in, but I think he does pretty well and brings a certain brand of humour into his movies. I'm a fan of his more comedic roles like kindergaten cop and twins.
I have the feeling most Germans don't like arnie because they've always seen him dubbed with some other guys voice. The accent makes it all the better.

But it did wonders for his complexion:

I reckon that actor The Rock would make a good Conan, he was pretty cool in Scorpion King problem is hes the wrong color for Conan

Do not let any preening WWF dancing girls anywhere near Conan
