Can anybody help me find the exact verbiage of the opening conversation Conans dad has with Conan? He tells him of the riddle of steel and such. I'm trying to find the entire thing he says. Thanks!

EDIT

I think this is what you are looking for. Took me less time than the first!

Fire and wind come from the sky
From the gods of the sky
But Crom is your god
Crom, and he lives in the earth

Once, giants lived in the earth, Conan
And in the darkness of chaos, they fooled Crom
And took from him the enigma of Steel

The gods were angered
And the earth shook
Fire and wind struck down these giants
And they threw their bodies into the water

But in their rage,
The gods forgot the secret of Steel and left it on the battlefield
And we who found it are just men
Not giants, not gods
Just men, just men

The secret of Steel has always carried with it a mystery
You must learn its riddle, you must learn its discipline
For no one in the world can you trust
Not men, not women, not beasts

This... this (Steel) you can trust

Cheers.

Wow ChasingAmy - that is impressive! Thanks

Val_1 · 04-27-2005, 03:11 PM

Well, now you did it. I have to watch Conan now. One of my favorite movies. I was looking forward to Conan 3, until Arnold became the Governator. It won't be the same with someone else playing the role.

Well the first Conan film is one of the most quoteable films I know.

"For no one - no one in this world can you trust. Not men, not women, not beasts. This you can trust" (points at sword)

"Black lotus? Stygian, the best!" - "This better not be hagar." - "I would sell hagar to a slayer such as you?"

"They said you would come ... a man of great strength."

"My child, you have come to me my son. For who now is your father if it is not me? I am the well spring, from which you flow. When I am gone, you will have never been. What would your world be, without me? My son."

"He is Conan, Cimmerian, he won't cry, so I cry for him."

"Hah! Crom laughs at your four winds. Laughs from his mountain." - "My god is the everlasting sky. Your god lives beneath him."

Conan is the official leader of my school's Defensive Line

We are ALWAYS quoting Conan

All incoming Defensive line rookies have to learn the riddle of steel, and watch Conan at least twice before the end of training camp.

anybody wanna support the idea that vin diesel should be the next conan- have to straighten the hair/make it longer, but beyond that if you read the robert E howard books, HE IS CONAN...... and the voice fucking rocks.... and he has already done C.O.R. which is conan in space.......

Offkilter · 05-01-2005, 06:27 AM

Vin might be a tad young depending on the script that ends up being written. It was supposed to be an old Conan movie. The cool thing I think is that it might be Robert Rodriguez directing the new movie.

i believe the new one was to be Conan: Crown of Iron or somesuch, and was to be about demons and the slaying of them, with a new main character, Ah-nold as a king, obviously, but not the main character.

I thought John Milius was going to be directing it. Well, I'm rather dissapointed now. He's what made the first one so good, as far as I'm concerned.
