Please remake Conan the Barbarian

I recently watched a movie that I hadn’t seen in a looong time. Conan the Barbarian. That movie will always hold a special place in my heart. Not because of the violence. Not because of all the nude women. And even though the scene where Arnold is having sex with the witch and threw her in the fire is pretty cool, that isn’t the reason either.

Yes you heard me, Arnold Schwarzenegger, the governor of California was having sex with a woman, and threw her in the fire.

The reason that movie holds such a solid spot in my heart is because it was the first R rated movie my parents let me see. I was a big comic book guy so I just had to see Conan the Barbarian when it came out. I still remember begging my parents to let me see that movie. After my recent viewing of the movie, I started to ponder the idea of that movie being remade. Many may not think that Conan would be considered a great movie, but it did have potential. The movie had the making of a epic story, plenty of fight scenes and action, and of coarse the women. I think its about time for a remake.

I then watched Conan the Destroyer, the better budgeted but inferior sequel with Wilt chamberlain and the infamous Grace Jones.  That one doesn’t need to be remade.

What kills me about that first Conan movie is that James Earl Jones straight up played a white man in the movie, with the wig and all, like we wouldn’t notice.

Enjoy the trailer.
