Arnold Schwarzenegger reveals the concerning shooting conditions he faced when filming Conan the Barbarian, one of the actor's breakout roles.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Arnold Schwarzenegger reveals the dangerous shooting conditions that happened behind the scenes of Conan the Barbarian. The 41-year-old fantasy epic stars Schwarzenegger as a boy who is turned into a slave after a warlord murders his parents and tribe. Made in 1982, Conan the Barbarian is considered one of the actor’s breakout action roles, as the movie predated Schwarzenegger’s other ‘80s standout, The Terminator.
Reflecting on Conan the Barbarian, Schwarzenegger reveals the grueling filming conditions during his time on set. In an excerpt from his new self-help book Be Useful: Seven Tools for Life , Schwarzenegger claimed that he had to complete nasty stunt work, including biting “a real, dead vulture that required wash mouth out with alcohol after each take.
“I learned to ride horses and camels and elephants. I learned how to jump from large rocks, how to climb and swing from long ropes, how to fall from a height. I basically went to another vocational school, this one for aspiring action heroes. Then on top of that, Milius had me doing all kinds of terrible sh*t. I crawled through rocks, take after take, until my forearms bled. I ran from wild dogs that managed to catch me and pull me into a thorn bush.
Conan the Barbarian Filming Conditions Would Not Fly In 2023 While Conan the Barbarian’s content aligns with such stunt work, the tasks Schwarzenegger was asked to complete are way out of line with what would be acceptable now. Forty-one years later, it is hard to imagine any actor would be required to bite a scavenger such as a vulture, which could carry copious diseases.
In his writing, Schwarzenegger mentions PETA, which stands for the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. As an organization, PETA is often quick to contest animal treatment on screen, including recently with Gladiator 2 and Jackass Forever. PETA certainly would “have a field day” if they had known about the conditions of Conan the Barbarian, and based on Schwarzenegger’s descriptions of the set, that may have been for the best.
