I'm surprised that there weren't any more movies after Conan the Barbarian. How many Conan movies did Ahnuld do? Two. It was one, two, no three. Conan the Barbarian was about the life of Conan but it was a montage of Conan and Kull stories. Thulsa Doom, after all, was Kull's enemy and not Conan's. The same with the serpent men. Conan never fought them. Conan's fights however, were with men, and in some stories, vampires. Arnold Schwarzaneggar was chosen as Conan despite the fact that he looks nothing like the character that was created by Robert E. Howard in the 1930s. Or should I say reinvented? Conan was the reinvention of an earlier character named King Kull. Both Conan and Kull share the same backgrounds. They were both barbarians and they both became king by usurping a throne. So why didn't Universal make more Conan movies with Arnold? I don't know.
