Visible crew/equipment: After Conan is set free from slavery he finds a cave where he removes a sword. When he climbs out of the cave you'll notice someone's hands near his feet pushing up his shackles. (00:29:25)
Conan the Barbarian (1982)
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.
Continuity mistake: When Valeria climbs down the ropes of the serpent tower she is twisted in the ropes. When it cuts she is climbing properly down.
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.
Trivia: Arnold Schwarzenegger did his own stunts, as a believable stunt double could not be found.
King Osric: What daring! What outrageousness! What insolence! What arrogance... I salute you.
Subotai: Food. Food. I have not eaten for days.
Conan: And who says you will?
Thulsa Doom: Infidel Defilers. They shall all drown in lakes of blood.
Question: When Conan is learning how to use a sword, why did the teacher slap Conan in the face and then kick the other student in the chest?
Answer: Like an Army Drill Sargent, he was berating them for not doing it better. Toughening them to become the best they could be.
Also, the other student laughs at Conan's punishment, so the teacher kicks him to teach him some humility.
What exactly did Conan do wrong to make the teacher slap him?
This war master is reinforcing in Conan the "discipline of steel." The war master's gestures imply that he was not pleased with Conan's focus, his stance, and his sword/blade control. So the slaps were to further ingrain his rigorous training, in pursuance of Conan's mental and physical discipline.

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