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.

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.
Trivia: In the scene where Conan is wrapped in a blanket and being painted to ward of the spirits, Arnold Schwarzenegger actually fell asleep while filming this.
