“I learned to ride horses and camels and elephants. I learned how to jump from large rocks, how to climb and swing from long ropes, how to fall from a height. I basically went to another vocational school, this one for aspiring action heroes. Then on top of that, Milius [Conan's director] had me doing all kinds of terrible sh*t. I crawled through rocks, take after take, until my forearms bled. I ran from wild dogs that managed to catch me and pull me into a thorn bush. I bit a real, dead vulture that required I wash my mouth out with alcohol after each take. (PETA would have a field day with that one). On one of the first days of filming, I tore a gash on my back that required forty stitches.”

"Screw your freedom"
You are like twitter mobs. He said something you dont like at the peak of Covid hysteria and you throw-out the entire guy and all he's done. Be useful anon.
Screw your freedom
It concerns normal people when wealthy politicians and former politicians say shit like this. Forget about your love for muscle men and campy 80s movies for a second and look at it more objectively.
He apologized for saying it recently. Don't be like the cancel culture buttholes.
>He apologized for saying it recently.
He apologized because there was backlash. He still hates your freedom.
he wouldn't have said it if he didn't believe it. the apology was a "I'm sorry you got mad" apology.
screw your apology
When exactly did he become a massive homosexual? I watched Hercules in New York recently and he seemed like a totally different person under the layer of character. In the 80s?
>people change over 40 years
Yeah, totally unexplicable
real answer: He lived in California half his life
Go tell that to his face. See what happens. I bet a 76 year old Arnold can still break your fat ass.
heh. It's so easy to defeat this roided out ape. Just bring a Mexican housekeeper and use her as bait
he's been returning to his based self as of late, he even apologized for a few comments he made previously
He always was. You just ignored it because he was your surrogate father figure when you were a 9 year old back in the 80s
How could he be my father?
I am not Latino and my mother never worked as a maid at his house
yup, bodybuilders were notorious for being bi. they are always one day away from doing something gay (for pay lol)
arnold is ugly but his son patrick is sexy handsome hot. i wonder what it feels like to kiss patrick.
hi patrick
If it's this what it takes to produce KINO, it should still be done. He got compensated well enough for it.
>I ran from wild dogs that managed to catch me and pull me into a thorn.
What the frick
I watched the director edition of conan that had outtakes and the scene where he's chased by dogs, when he gets on the big pile of rocks right before finding that skeleton king and grabbing the sword. in the outtake, he didn't make it up the rocks fast enough and the dogs pull him down and off screen into bushes that were nearby. you can hear him yell "ow! oh!" followed by Arnold gibberish before you clearly hear offscreen "gahd dhamiet!" it's pretty kino and so is the commentary for the film; it's Arnold and John Milius and every scene John is talking about the history of the area, what was happening that day, etc. Arnold says 'yeah' a lot and sounds fricking moronic.
best part is the opening of child Arnold when he first appears on screen. The kids lips are most likely redder than normal due to the wintery climate they used for his scenes. Soon as you see the kid, Arnold blurts out, "hey what's wrong with this kid, is he wearing lipstick?" to which John replies in a voice that's already weary of his shit, "It's just a kid Arnold."
kek, that's fricking kino
when was the commentary recorded? i know Milius had a stroke sometime around 2010-12.
I'm unsure. I bought the DVD in the late 90s/early 2000s as a teen. I'm assuming sometime in the mid to late 90s probably.
Why do zoomers think the word shit should be censored, like frick or c**t?
what was he pondering?
He's realizing nobody ever actually told him what the riddle was
I wonder...this Conan is shown to have read philosophy scrolls to studying while training, and although admittedly we don't get to hear his opinion about the texts, he is still shown reading them without complaint.
Conan: I remember days like this when my father took me to the forest and we ate wild blueberries. More than 20 years ago. I was just a boy of four or five. The leaves were so dark and green then. The grass smelled sweet with the spring wind. Almost 20 years of pitiless cumber! No rest, no sleep like other men. And yet the spring wind blows, Subotai. Have you ever felt such a wind?
Subotai: They blow where I live too. In the north of every man's heart.
Conan: It's never too late, Subotai.
Subotai: No. It would only lead me back here another day. In even worse company.
Conan: For us, there is no spring. Just the wind that smells fresh before the storm.
Sandahl Bergman nearly cut off her thumb in one of the takes in the Mountain of Power and didn't break character or stop the take for medical attention until after the scene was done. Meanwhile Gerry Lopez was just a surfer off the street who was chill. 82' Conan is a fun film.
DOG! What's best in life?
"To bite Arnold, to see him driven before you, and hear his lamentation."
Is he holding an ancient Bop-It?
