Factual error: When Conan cuts off Thulsa Doom's head, and throws it over the parapet, it hits the stairs below and rolls a little way down. Not only are there absolutely no marks left on the stairs (there should at least be a small amount of blood), it sounds like something plastic is rolling down there.
Conan the Barbarian (1982)
1 factual error - chronological order
Directed by: John Milius
Starring: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Max von Sydow, James Earl Jones, Sandahl Bergman
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.
King Osric: What daring! What outrageousness! What insolence! What arrogance... I salute you.
Trivia: Arnold Schwarzenegger did his own stunts, as a believable stunt double could not be found.
