In the original 1980s swords and sorcery epic Conan, Arnold Schwarzenegger stars as the muscular title character who must stop the same snake cult that slaughtered his village and killed his parents. James Earl Jones plays his nemesis, the evil Thulsa Doom. A classic.

Mistakes

Continuity mistake: In the scene when Conan's mother is killed, we see her using both hands to hold her sword toward Thulsa Doom and his men. The camera cuts to young Conan and he is holding her right hand. When the camera cuts back to her, she is holding the sword with both hands again.

Suggested correction: It's not an inmediate shot, there's plenty of time in between for her to change the grip.

Answer: Not in the movies, but in the original books. He escaped by grinding his chain between two millstones until it broke.

Twotall

Answer: Conan was an undefeated fighter in the pit, who made his owner very wealthy and powerful. The look on his owner's face was of sadness and gratitude. He earned his freedom.
