Hollywood will ruin it. Just like they did with the others. It will be all special effect and noise.

Oh well another fail...

If they could only use old days stories lines and today's special effects movies would rock....

I am ashamed to say that as a life long (23) Arnie fan (Saw Terminator when I was 4) I have never seen the Conan movies. I need to find them on DVD and watch them.

But Jason was pretty cool in SG:A. One of my favorite character next to McKay (lol) Shepard and the pretty little doc in Season 4 and 5.

Would like to see this work out for him, but I can't help but feel it might fall flat. Can always hope for the best though.

Conan The Barbarian http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082198/ is the best of the three 'conan' films. Great cast (james earl joans as thulsa doom is great), great score, and, for the most part, a fair plot.
The next two were spin-offs, sort of.
Conan The Destroyer (robert jordan story? I have a compilation book which is almost word for word) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087078/
not as good - a bit watered down, but grace joans is funny

The last is Red Sonja. But I won't bother talking about that.

I wonder if Arnold will make a cameo appearance

Okay the big problem with Momo is that while he looks like he is reasonably good shape.....nothing about him screams CONAN.

Frankly, he's just too skinny.

When Conan walks into the room he better be head and shoulders above everone else there. Momo would just get lost in the crowd.
