I just caught the later half of this on TV. Pretty neat, pretty D&D-ish.

I've never heard of it before. Anybody seen it?

Heh. I was present in the theatre when it was first showing, but I was
a kid who was scared of his own shadow at the time, so I hid my eyes
from the dragon. Finally got over that phase, thankfully, and have
seen the movie at least a couple dozen times since.

If you get the chance, see the whole thing.


I think I'll do that.


As others have pointed out, it's a genre staple.


Well, after Justisaur's reaction, I got thinking and I probably have
heard of it, most likely here, but it was just one of those movies
everyone talks about but you've never seen. But now I've seen (part)
it... I understand why it is a genre staple.

Don't feel TOO bad. I've never seen any of the Conan movies.
