the united states' public was offered a sneak preview on february 19, 1982, in houston, texas. in the following month, previews were held in 30 cities across the country. in washington, dc, the mass of moviegoers formed long lines that spanned streets, causing traffic jams. tickets were quickly sold out in denver, and 1,000 people had to be turned away in houston. the majority of those in the lines was male; a moviegoer in los angeles said, "the audience was mostly white, clean-cut, and high-school or college age. it was not the punk or heavy-leather crowd, but an awful lot of them had bulging muscles." on march 16, "conan the barbarian" had its worldwide premiere at "fotogramas de plata", an annual cinema awards ceremony in madrid, and began its general release in spain and france a month later. twentieth century fox handled the foreign distribution of the film. universal originally scheduled "conan"s official release in the united states for the weekend before memorial day—the start of the film industry's summer season when schools close for a month-long holiday. to avoid competition with other big-budget, high-profile films, the studio advanced the release of "conan the barbarian" and on may 14, 1982, the film officially opened in 1,400 theaters across north america.
conan the barbarian (1982 film)
bullet::::- conan (voiced by michael donovan) - the main character of the story. in this version, his parents are turned into living stone and there are few hints of his predestination of becoming a king. the references come as either a private joke to those who know the conan mythos (one episode ended with him wearing a crown on his head, to the amusement of his allies) or as a finale note (in one episode in particular, conan rescues a princess from a one-shot villain. her father, a king, promised his kingdom to whoever returned her safely home and naturally, conan succeeds in rescuing her which is a spoof of the adult conan movie's king osric asking conan to rescue his daughter but conan does not rescue her from wrath-amon but is thrown in prison for demanding the promised payment which is his weakness here. he is rescued then by the princess he saved who comments that conan would always be a king in her heart as the closing line). it is stated a few times that he and his cimmerian tribe are descended from the people of atlantis, and conan is a descendant of atlantean kings. he has a star metal sword that he obtained the day when wrath-amon attacked his village. unlike conan the barbarian, he is more of a kind and caring character with jezmine as the only woman he's involved with. he shows mercy to some of his opponents and nonetheless reconciles with friends, unlike the original conan the barbarian. he is portrayed to be able to break metal chains, do more unusual feats of strength as well unlike the movie conan. he eventually defeats his long-time archenemy wrath-amon, the leader of the snake cult but was forced to face the old leader of the snake cult ram-amon as well as set (his final enemy) in the last battle. by vanquishing set, he had somewhat permanently defeated the snake cult.
