Technically "Kull The Conqueror" secretly was a Conan movie.
Far from it.
please dont insult conan like that.. lol
It's better than a lot of the official Conan stories.
Lol its a fun movie but no its not close to any of the original stories.
I think it’s better than a lot of them. Not as good as the Solomon Kane or Bran Mak Morn stories, though. For me, only a few of REH’s Conan stories are really great. A lot of them are mid at best.
Lol ok. Scorpion King has a generic and basic ass plot thats been done thousands of times before, and better many times. Its a fun, forgettable sword and sorcery movie. Meanwhile REH invented S and S with Kull and perfected it with Conan. Bran Mak Morn has two good stories and one of them is only good because of Kull. The fact you used the word mid tells me how old you are. I encourage you to read the stories again when your old enough to realize Scorpion King isn't even as good as the worst Conan story.
He was in The Mummy Returns. He did such a good job they decided to show his origin. Don't see how that is a secret Conan film.
I haven't seen it but I'm willing to bet it takes vague inspiration at most.
No, but it is a part of the sword and sorcery genre. I actually think the first Scorpion King movie is better than any of the Mummy sequels.
And somehow I've watched all of the direct to video Scorpion King sequels.
I can't talk I watched all of the DnD sequels.
No but its a fun and underrated S and S movie
Max Allan Collins wrote the novelization and compared the story to Howard in an afterword or forward (it's been twenty plus years, I don't remember which).
The only thing missing from this movie is a scene where Dwayne Johnson as Matthias goes into a forbidden tomb and ends up fighting a lost dinosaur that he mistakes for a dragon.
I did enjoy that movie. I saw it in theaters and my snarky teenage self said afterwards, "It was good, but I liked it more when Arnold was in it and it was called Conan."
No. The Scorpion King was a real historical figure. Conan is fictional.

Oh thanks didn't know that
I've always thought they took a Conan script and just changed some names and details. It's one of the better S&S movies. I love it.
How dare you
