Campy and still a lot of fun, but definitely not for kids
John Milius's 1982 hit fantasy film Conan the Barbarian, which is based on the long line of comic books and novels from Robert E. Howard, is a movie that embraces it's nearly impenetrable goofiness and sleazy camp with a willing attitude to showcase some ridiculously macho action sequences, a disgustingly buffed-up Arnold Schwarzenegger and some extremely dated but still awesome special effects, and in the end, this is arguably one of the most entertaining and underrated action movies to ever come out of the 1980's. Even with the than young and inexperienced Arnold Schwarzenegger's unfamiliarity with acting in this movie, you can tell that he actually was trying, and than in his later movies, just built off of the fact that he was a campy sight to behold, and make money off of that. So, even though this movie is nearly 30-years-old, the R Rating is actually still very much deserved for a few big reasons: There is frequent and very strong brutal bloody violence, with many, many brutal sword fights which feature dismemberment, decapitation and other various gruesome inflected wounds and injures, with much spurting and spraying blood. Also, there is strong sexual content, with one scene early on in the movie which features a woman's bare breasts, a later sex scene which is very graphic and loud, and features the mans bare back, buttocks and legs and the woman's bare back, buttocks and breasts. And even later, there is another sex scene with abundant nudity, and even later, there is a scene of a mass orgy with lot's of sensual moaning, groaning and visible full-frontal nudity. So, that may be a lot to take in, even for a R Rated movie, but this is 80's campy fantasy-action at it's best and most entertaining. Honestly, it was great to re-watch this gem again, all these years later.
