![]() Although it's not a big title, it has good action and quite a good story but it's a bit too predictable and superficial and it leaves you with a feeling that it was a low budget movie (although its producers could have avoided this problem). Although I had some problems understanding it (it's Danish so I had to follow all the subtitles), it will make you laugh or at least put a smile on your face very often. All sequences are treated in a very funny and entertaining manner, which makes it a great comedy. This movie is a parody of Conan the Barbarian and King Arthur's Excalibur. ![]() Advised by a shaman that only a sacred sword can defeat Volcazar, he must find it before it's too late together with a couple of friends found along the way. However, as fate would have it, responsibility for the tribes survival falls on Ronals scrawny shoulders, when the evil Volcazar raids the village and abducts every living barbarian. For almost the first thirty minutes the music appears. Ronal is a young barbarian with low self-esteem, the polar opposite of all the muscular barbarians in his village. Poledouris delivered an impressive schematic of driving rhythm, charged strings and muscular brass that propelled the movie forward like the hammer of the gods. Ronal is a skinny, weak, good for nothing member of the barbarian clan who happens to be the only one who hasn't been captured by the evil Lord Volcazar (who plans to sacrifice all barbarians to god Zaal for his immortality). Basil Poledouris score to the 1982 Universal film Conan the Barbarian remains the most impressive amongst his body of work.
