The entire cavern crumbles around them, big chunks of rock falling everywhere except, luckily, upon them. Mention is made of a volcano, but never further explained. It takes place largely with Tamara strapped to a revolving wheel above a vertiginous drop to flames far below. The film ends with a very long battle involving Conan, Khalar Zym, Tamara and Marique, a sentence I never thought I'd write.
This is a neat special effect, although it raises the question if you turn back to sand when Conan slices you, what kind of a life is that? At one point, she blows some magic dust at Conan, and the dust turns into a team of warriors made of sand. She has white pancake makeup, blood red lips, cute little facial tattoos and wickedly sharp metal talons on her fingers. The evil Khalar Zym and his daughter Marique ( Rose McGowan) turn up regularly, uttering imprecations, with Marique especially focused on Conan's warrior gal pal Tamara ( Rachel Nichols). Conan carves, beheads, disembowels and otherwise inconveniences the citizens of several improbable cities, each time in a different fanciful situation. People who despair of convincing me to play video games tell me, "Maybe if you could just watch someone else playing one!" I feel as if I now have. The movie is a series of violent conflicts. He and his father Corin ( Ron Perlman) had earlier forged his sword at the steel moltery earlier still, the infant Conan was delivered on a battlefield by an emergency Caesarian performed by Corin's own sword on the child's mother, who survives long enough to say, "He shall be named Conan." She was so weak she lacked the breath to say, "Conan the Barbarian."
Luckily, Conan (the muscular Jason Momoa) survives and grows up with no worse than a photogenic scar on his face, where some wayward molten iron dripped.
